Hypothesis is a python property based testing framework inspired by quickcheck.

Goal

The idea is to use a 8-switch relay (or two) to connect to a Raspberry pi and control the switches according to the music. To control the music, hack mpg123 to take a "frames" file which would contain which channel should be switched on or off.

This was a short 2-hour fun project.

I want to create a basic web dashboard for Jenkins view with help of Jenkins XML API , Pharo, Seaside and Bootstrap. The biggest benefit for me would be if I can learn how to handle with Classes and its instances containing data from Jenkins in pure object programming language.

Marvin is a job scheduler that the Performance Team at SUSE Labs uses to automate the execution of the performance test suite MMTests. For more details on what Marvin does and how, see Mel Gorman's blog post "Continual Testing of Mainline Kernels".

I want to start working on translations which might be useful in our work (to focus on apps used by us during our work) and to push the rate of translation a bit further.

This is a project to create a "larp" game for SUSE employees (or anyone geeky enough to play this) which will be based on computer related knowledge. The core of the game is to search for other people and clues for solving the main goal by "connecting" or "hacking" according to given HW and SW roles. E.g. a person will play router, another one will play PC and they will need to find a person playing TCP/IP protocol to communicate and eventually create a working setup to solve the goal. They they need to work as a group and solve riddles/ciphers which will let them go further. There are more game mechanics i have in mind, but don't want to spoil all of them now :)

• easy to use commandline tool to generate CA Certificates and Server Certificates
• package the certificates in RPMs for easy deployment

Remote working makes you face some "challenges" regarding networking setup. One of them can be reproduced as:

Investigation of the testing framework Avocado (successor of autotest) Virtualization tests within the framework - xen, kvm, libvirt, qemu tests (we have used kvm tests done in autotest framework)

Some input is still needed about the keybindings, which ones to use.

Adding some API documentation for Crowbar, which is still missing. There are some API comments along with the Rails controller methods, but some of them are outdated.

A utility to make beautifully printed maps from OpenStreetMap data.

We all pant for customer data. Which hardware do customers run ? Which packages are installed ? Which services are running ? etc. pp.

Add support to build snappy images in OBS. This means we need to parse snapcraft.yaml build description for dependencies, prepare data from remote resources and handle the build.

Hippocardus is a flashcard bot for Telegram.

There are a lot of issues in Crowbar due to the legacy of poor internals. This is blocking things quite a bit when it comes to improving Crowbar for adding new features. Let's fix it!

We want to improve translation of dependencies done by spec-cleaner (i.e. cmake(blah)) and so on - see github.

Geeko's Hack Week Gazette - Nürnberg Edition

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

Create an OpenVPN gateway based on SLES 12 JeOS

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

There is a super cool framework for mobile phone apps available: ionic (http://ionicframework.com/)

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.

Together with my son, I'm working on improving the Salt support in Manager 3.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Summary

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:

QA wants to set up a new QA Portal to get an new organized entry point for all Information that is QA related. The Hackweek Project is to start a discussion with the different QA groups, SLE QA, CSS QA and QAM to collect ideas and make a concrete plan.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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. :-)

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

What is Qubes OS

Goal:

Create a console application for a crossword puzzle generator that can be fed with a custom list of word+explanation pairs. It may be used by people to quickly familiarize with a specific topic (e.g. a knowledge area, new hires to the company ...) to at least understand the terminology and the abbreviations that are used. Or to just have some distraction and fun :-)

I want to make ruby-lint usable.

Implement a Little man computer in the Go programming language.

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. :)

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

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)

GOAL

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

• 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.

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.

Description

Try to use Jenkins 2.0 CI environments to trigger jobs which running in openQA

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.

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

In Beijing HA server room, we have a Huawei switch with a 10GB bandwith uplink FC port, a iSCSI HBA, a desktop computer, and some SFPs, I will build a 10GB bandwith iscsi server.

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

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"

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

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

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. :)

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.

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.

L3 bug reproduction often requires becoming the admin for a moment. I'd like to write down some nifty tricks I used to get certain “interesting” system configurations to work.
