Taskotop is a tool to check what taskomatic is currently doing on a SUSE Manager server: it's a command line python tool. The core of the tool is to get some info about jobs that taskomatic is running with a fixed time cycle running some queries and showing results to the shell.

Last Hackweek I created a rescue system that is composed of a SUSE Linux kernel in an NSS (Named Saved System) and an xip2fs file system in a DCSS (Dis-Continguous Save Segment). This allows any Linux guest on a z/VM system to say "#cp ipl rescue" and have a fully functional SUSE Linux Enterprise system come up to allow them to fix what ever is wrong with the guest.

Improving the openSUSE Websites

Task: - Learn Twopence structure

I will look into libmicro and learn some skill to analyse the results. And then I'll apply the function to IO test and so on.

Google recently open-sourced its Artificial Intelligence/Numerical Computing library called TensorFlow. I would like to use it to help us do a bug report clustering. A bug report often contains lots of comments. In order to find the similar bugs from different customers quickly and intelligently, I would like to choose a proper clustering algorithm and implement a model with TensorFlow, which can be deployed on a PC smoothly.

See my Relax-and-Recover upstream issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/841

The support for Orange PI PC in mainline kernel has advanced a bit, so now it should be possible to build openSUSE image that has at least serial support with kernel 4.6 and usb support with 4.7. I will investigate this.

Unfortunately there is no UI designer or editor for YaST dialogs. All dialogs are hand crafted in Ruby code. The idea of this project is to provide some way how to create or edit the existing dialogs in a user friendly way, without touching any code.

With all the changes in the qa_virtauto world, our local CI testing has become rather fragile. This project is all about stabilizing the CI testing and ensuring all builds are fully tested - without manual intervention. :)

I heard that MVC is at the top of design pattern. I'm not sure it's true .

I will read about a book to understand linux kernel deeper. It is a heavy book, may not finish in this hackweek, but i will continue to finish it. The book name is "go deeper into linux kernel"

GFS2 and OCFS2 are 2 cluster filesystems in linux kernel. We also support GFS2, though most of our customers use OCFS2 as we recommend. Last hackweek, from

Continue my last project - Docker research in last hackweek with researching Kubernetes

Description

The i2c-i801 kernel driver (for SMBus controller on most x86 Intel systems) has a lot of pending upstream patches from various contributors. There are bug fixes, clean-ups and new features. Without proper reviewing and merging work, most of the effort is likely to be lost.

• Complete hardware enablement on a prototype tablet that will be going to market soon as a 'pure Linux' tablet.
• Provide a custom image to the manufacturer for preinstallation of openSUSE on said tablet.

I want to program a tool to assist building Kgraft-patches.

GOAL

bs-update simplifies package updates in BuildService, targeting mainly people who are both upstream and package maintainers.

As a starting point to learn and test OpenStack on relative low profile workstation/desktop, I found this project interesting and would like to setup it. :)

Once again I am going to use my hackweek project to work on WSP, this time I want to concentrate on 4 areas that possible will help in getting this project accepted upstream (at least as some experimental feature)

I would like to spend the hackweek to study the Professional Scrum Master level I (PSM I), and then take the certification examination.

reveal.js is a modern & lightweight HTML5/js-based presentation framework – much smarter than LibreOffice Impress can ever be (for a software developer). Richard Brown was so kind to create a proper LibreOffice presentation template for openSUSE and I would like to bring that design to reveal.js so next time I do a presentation I can happily use reveal.js while keeping up the openSUSE flag. :-)

There is a running gag built into openQA called interactive mode. It goes like this: "if you need the interactive mode, it's broken". The reason: the so called interactive mode is a collection of hacks - in theory making it possible to update needles in a running test.

Goal:

What is Qubes OS

Read RoR docs and continue the TODO list from https://events.opensuse.org/conference/oSC16/program/proposal/894 + issues from https://github.com/ChrisBr/rails101/issues as a practice.

Every packager encounters boring manual tasks every once in a while and these tasks can most probably be automated to some extent. During Hackweek I aim to try and identify such cases in various packagers' workflow and consider creating a tool that would make these tasks easier. Also, I would like to find out whether there is a demand for such tool. In that case, this Hackweek project will turn into a long-term task I plan to keep working on.

I had an application can't run on recent openSUSE for some time but it can run on openSUSE13.1 before. So I'd like to have a docker container (image) to run the application and learn some about docker container

"GNU Hyperbole is an open, efficient, programmable information management and hypertext system for GNU Emacs." ()

I want to learn more about SDN and NFV, so i have started reading some book ASIN: B00WF85208 and prepared a list of things to get deeper into:

Summary

gettext tools are used by many other projects to process translation files.

SLES 12SP1 enables the lvmetad service by default. While in general this greatly enhances the efficiency of LVM, it does expose an issue with auto mounting partial and degraded volumes. This project will be an exploration of the interactions between udev, pvscan, and lvmetad in an attempt to find the best method to enable customizable/automatic mounting of partial and degraded volume groups.

Following up on Sunday's Kopano deployment workshop at oSC16, I deploy an instance of the FLOSS groupware, collecting important steps in https://w3.suse.de/~bwiedemann/contrib/kopano-setup.sh

This project is about using Salt SSH for managing systems without the need of an additional agent to be installed (besides sshd). With the SSH protocol the connection is initiated by the management server, thus Salt SSH can be used to even manage systems that are located outside of company firewalls, i.e. machines that cannot access a salt-master due to firewall restrictions.

Installation time is important as shorter installation allows everyone to safe resources and their time. It also can make better impression when starting with openSUSE and SUSE. And last but not least as we more frequently use openQA, so we do hundreds of installation every week, it even smaller improvement can in the end help SUSE to safe resources and be more green.

Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) is a method of HPC distributed programming developed by University of California - Berkeley. Programs implement the PGAS api via C or C++, and the Berkeley UPC compiler front-end will preprocess the source to be compiled by GCC and linked to the necessary libraries to make it work. PGAS is an alternative to the Message Passing Interface (MPI) generally used, although the UPC coexists well with the various MPI implementations.

Create an OpenVPN gateway based on SLES 12 JeOS

Seagate has a "new" hard disk product called Kinetic, this kind of hard disk can connect to ethernet directly and no extra computer system needed. This project is to build a Kinetic Storage Gateway, to export a legacy NAS interface to clients (TV, mobile phone, etc..) and hide kinetic protocol details behind the gateway.

Discovery the latest SUSE Manager, what is missing there from user and system point of view to be use as Orthos reservation system

The osc16 videos were released on http://media.ccc.de - a web frontend for video presentations from conferences.
