crash-pythona project by jeff_mahoney New Development In previous hack weeks, the first few days ended up being wasted on just getting it working. I'm pleased to share that the code quality has improved dramatically since the last hack week and there are now extensive test cases for both unit testing and testing against real vmcores, and we'll use both mypy and pylint (if installed) to perform static analysis. Packages for those are available in openSUSE or as part of the crash-python OBS repo for SLE15. It has been tested with kernels from 3.0 to 5.1. |

Get real with NFV on Suse OpenStack Clouda project by mmnelemane The idea behind the project comes from recent work on integration of OpenDayLight with Suse OpenStack Cloud 6/7. The goal for this Hackweek project is to realize a demonstrable NFV use-case on Suse OpenStack Cloud with as much reduced manual orchestration as possible. The use-case to consider is to run a Service Function Chain(SFC) with basic Network functions like Firewall/QoS that run as services on JeOS Guests on SUSE OpenStack Cloud (SOC). |
Hack the Hack Week toolan invention by hennevogel This project is about advancing the tool you're currently browsing. It got started back in Hack Week 9 to retire all the weird tools we've used in the past to track ideas. As you can see it has gone far but is still far from done. There are lots of features missing and bugs to be fixed on github. Get going! |
Group Refactoring of OSEMan invention by hennevogel Meet up NBG meeting room Paris with fellow Ruby on Rails hackers, throw an editor/shell onto the wall, grab a cup of coffee and refactor OSEM code together. That way we can share knowledge about setting up the development environment, editor tricks, RSpec patterns, gems or general rails code. Interested? Join us! |
Orca: hunting cephalopods for fun and dinnera project by LarsMB Orcas are amazing animals. They are playful, intelligent, great swimmers, and very social. They also love to play with their food, hunting down their prey with advanced strategies - understanding where its prey hides, how it will try to escape, and how to overcome those tactics - and having a lot of fun doing so, before relentlessly tearing it apart, killing it, and eat it. Not necessarily in that order. Oh, and they have the right color scheme. This forces their prey to also improve and adapt more advanced strategies and tactics. In this arms race, both sides evolve and improve: the evolutionary pressure has made cephalopods highly intelligent, adaptable, and resilient. Unfortunately (for them), they are still very tasty. So we should exert more evolutionary pressure on individuals to help them stay alive as a species. |
x86 instructions decodera project by bpetkov This is the tool I've been working on since HW11 and it needs more work. Actually, there's always something which could be done on it. It is basically an x86 instruction decoder with special emphasis on the kernel and decoding interesting pieces of it in order to help in the development of low-level patching techniques, among others. git repo: https://gitlab.suse.de/bp/x86d |
X86_64 platform system programa project by jnwang DescriptionIt can boot up from udisk/floppy. |
virtio-serial in OpenStacka project by e_bischoff Currently, the usual way to communicate with VM instances in the cloud from outside is ssh. This is okay for most uses, but a) does not work when you mess up with the guest's ability to network and b) requires a free floating IP. I wonder if, for qemu/kvm instances, it would be possible to use virtio-serial possibilities : from the guest, it is seen as a serial port, and from the outside, it is seen as a UNIX socket, or as something else. It is fast, as it does not go through virtualization and device drivers. |
PXEAT - A PXE management toola project by whdu PXEAT (stand for PXE Administration Tool) is a tool to easily deploy and manage PXE service. It's NOT a tool for automatic deployment. It can enable user to add their own PXE items by themselves, but of course, very limited for security reasons. The tool will be developed with the light-weight framework - flask, as well as a sqlite database. |
Add branding to DAPS and the suse-xsl-stylesheetsa project by fsundermeyer DAPS is the tool used by the SUSE documentation team to generate HTML, ePUB, PDF, ... output of the SUSE manuals from DocBook XML sources. It uses the suse-xsl-stylesheets for this purpose. Currently three different suse-xsl-stylesheet brands exist: SUSE, DAPS, openSUSE. Branding is done by adjusting the xsl-stylesheets directly. It would be desirable to be able to easily change the branding, e.g. via a simple config file in the style of /etc/sysconfig files, since most people cannot hack XSLT. This is also the number one enhancement request we get from DAPS users outside of SUSE. |
Improve openvswitch+libvirt+Xena project by jfehlig openvswitch is used by cloud infrastructure (e.g. OpenStack) and software defined networking stacks, often in conjunction with KVM and Xen compute resources. When creating workloads on KVM compute resources, orchestration services can specify the openvswitch interfaceid and port-profile of the workload's virtual interface(s). E.g. orchestration can create workload configuration containing |

Kernel oops decodera project by benjamin_poirier Read in a crash or oops-style backtrace and access DWARF information to output the current content of the stack and registers in term of symbols, and the the crash commands to dump/pretty print them. In other words, when looking at a crash dump, answer the questions "Which variable is currently stored in $rax? What is the structure of the stack? Which variable is stored at $rsp+16?" Status at the end of hackweek 10 |
gfxboot for grub2a project by snwint Make a final attempt to implement a graphical user interface for grub2 (gfxboot2).It's quite some work, unfortunately. Here's what's done so far: |
Bootstrap openSUSE for MIPSa project by a_faerber While in the past MIPS boards were either low-end PIC32 or found in routers running OpenWRT at most, Imagination themselves have recently released the Creator CI20 board (Ingenic, MIPS32) running Debian. And the Shield Pro (previously iGuardian) kickstarter project (Octeon-III, MIPS64) promises to become a playground for testing KVM hardware virtualization. Porting openSUSE to MIPS will involve setting up an OBS instance linked to Factory (update: done) and cross-compiling a set of packages for an initial bootstrap (update: in progress). Maybe this can be scripted to some degree, as there will be some overlap with the ARM ILP32 port project. |
QDirStat - Qt-based directory statistics: KDirStat without any KDE, now based on Qt 5a project by shundhammer This is about porting the old KDE 3 based KDirstat to the latest Qt 5.

Agilify stale meetingsa project by fteodori Distributed teams, cultural differences, expectations and habits are a natural enemy of vibrant, productive meetings (yes, meetings can be productive!). In this project I'd like to work on a different format and targeted exercises to provide ideas and a resource library to anyone interested in spicing up stale meetings. I am looking for your ideas, problems and examples - Feel free to join! |
Use jenkins as openQA UIan invention by okurz motivationjenkins is a great CI system (continuous integration) with a plethora of plugins available. SUSE QA uses openQA extensively as it excels in distribution and product testing - not only image comparison (common misconception ;-) ). How about combining both in using jenkins with plugins to act as a UI for openQA? |
Easy openSUSE Upgradea project by maverick74 The idea is about an easy way to allow users to make upgrades (e.g.: changing from one major version like 15.0 to version 15.1) using a GUI and as easy as they can in Ubuntu. Something like a notification with a button to perform the upgrade with just one-click, instead of having to deal with the terminal, that frights some new users and gives them the sensation of an outdated system. |
Implement >=z10 (s390x) support to QEMUa project by mbenes Last time I checked QEMU lacked support for >= z10 processors. Thus one cannot run SLE12 and newer in a virtual machine on non-s390x host. I'd like to improve the situation during Hackweeks. |

YaST2 code reorganizationa project by ancorgs YaST code organization is a mess at many levels (files location, namespaces, code dependencies...). Recently we created this gist to put some of the issues on the table Many YaST developers will be at openSUSE Conference, that overlaps with Hackweek. The plan is to lock them all in a room with a blackboard and reach agreements on how the code should be organized in the future. Then use Hackweek to iron the details, document everything in some kind of style guide and, if time permits, even do some experiments about how to adapt the existing code to the new conventions. |
FCoE over virtioa project by hreinecke This project aims for enabling FCoE over virtio-net. With that we should be able to run FCoE within a KVM guest, and finally have a 'real' FC host in a KVM guest. This should enable 'real' FC testing, like link failure, multipath operations etc. |

gdb python target / binding to libkdumpfilea project by alnovak Our previous efforts to enable gdb to open kdumps was not received in upstream as well as we hoped for. The perhaps-acceptable way would be to extend gdb with the possibility of implementing targets in Python, then create example binding to libkdumpfile (which already got a Python binding). We've already tried that, yet it has to be tidyed up. So this project aims at: |
SLES/openSUSE integration for Claira project by tboerger Clair is a static vulnerability analyzer for containers. Currently it supports containers based on Debian, Ubuntu and RedHat. I already started this project on the CSM workshop, now I want to finish the integration for openSUSE and SLES based container images. You can track the changes at https://github.com/coreos/clair/pull/199. |
flatpak (previously xdg-app) runtime based on openSUSE / flatpak support for OBSa project by fcrozat Flatpak (previously known as xdg-app) is a bundle system, based on ostree, to easily make available applications bundle to users. Currently, flatpack is available on openSUSE Tumbleweed but we don't ship any runtime based on openSUSE (freedesktop or GNOME runtime). Also, it could be interesting to generate flatpak bundle directly from OBS, if possible, using either available packages or directly application sourcecode. |
Another try on minimalistic C widget librarya project by metan I've attempted this several times already and each attempt had different shortcomings. I'm kind of curious about how exactly will I fail this time. And it looks like I haven't failed this time. |
Build tigervnc's vncviewer using emscriptena project by michalsrb Tigervnc comes with two very similar VNC viewers - one written in C++ and one in java. The java one can be embedded in a webpage as a java applet. We use that in our default VNC setup (the one enabled in YaST). That way if user doesn't have VNC viewer installed, browser is enough. However running java applets in browser is getting harder every day. Especially when the applet isn't signed by a trusted authority. |
Windows 10 in openQAa project by lnussel To make sure openSUSE can coexist nicely with an existing Windows installation, we need to have automated regression testing. UEFI and secure boot are especially interesting.That means installing Windows and openSUSE in parallel in openQA. Instead of just uploading some prepared hard disk image, openQA should ideally install Windows itself and save the generated image. In a second run openQA can then install the latest Leap or TW on that disk image. |
