Since I'm already working on a work-related project (https://hackweek.suse.com/14/projects/1388), I decided to also spend some time improving some of my toolbox. This includes configurations, scripts, pet projects and so on. I don't expect anyone to collaborate on this, but if someone is interested to know which scripts, programs and such I'm going to touch, feel free to ping me.

I have several themes in progress, they all need lots of work before they could be used with openSUSE. * The gtk people keep changing things so the gtk theme I use to match my enlightenment theme also needs fixing.

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:

Utilities like git and quilt support customized difftools in some ways. It's would be great if this is introduced to osc for commands like diff, pdiff, prdiff, rdiff, rq --diff, sr --diff.

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"

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.

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

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 think it consists of three components:

"GNU Hyperbole is an open, efficient, programmable information management and hypertext system for GNU Emacs." (<https://www.gnu.org/software/hyperbole/&gt;) I used it quite some years ago. The last weeks it was a topic on the Emacs mailing list.

Create an OpenVPN gateway based on SLES 12 JeOS Starting next month, I'll be working remotely from my home office. In order to simplify my setup, I'd like to have a gateway that connects my machines to the Nuremberg and Prague offices through OpenVPN.

Together with my son, I'm working on improving the Salt support in Manager 3. The idea is inspired by SUSE OpenStack Cloud's Crowbar tool:

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. Currently the gateway software is running on a read hardware router, in future it could be a program running on smart TV or phone, to access the kinetic hard disk cluster without hardware gateway.

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. ===Current State===

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.

Remote working makes you face some "challenges" regarding networking setup. One of them can be reproduced as: 1- download a big file

froxlor Server Management Panel create and start a push request upstream the openSUSE Leap 42.1 configuration tab

As DBus a main component in Linux user space, in this hackweek I plan to learn more about it. Tentative Plan: a node js binding for sd-bus interface offered by systemd (available in SLE12)

The systray module hasn't been ported to the new gadgets system so the aim is to port it.

• Enlightenment already has some minimal openQA tests but more can be written.
• A extended test Setup using extra repositorys in order to run tests on upstream pre release tarballs and potentially "Nightly/Weekly" builds.

Metadata project provides testsuites as a service. Slenkins test wants to use metadata but requires two new fields. I will add nodes and incompatible two new fields.

The public cloud is generally not a high availability-friendly environment, with unpredictable I/O latencies and machine stalls, custom tools needed for handling IP assignment etc. The idea with this project is to see if there is any way to leverage the Raft algorithm and booth together with pacemaker_remote for resource management to manage cloud instances and services running in the cloud.

Reporting demands on SCC are increasing. Rather than creating hand crafted 'one-shot' reports in response to every request, this project aims to discover whether there is a better way.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Description

For a few years now I have been using mutt for handling my private emails and Thunderbird for work related stuff, mainly because the former is less than stellar at handling mailing lists and the latter is at least bearable for mailing lists. These days my private email address is on a lot of mailing lists, too and this kind of arrangement may yet force me to use Thunderbird for my private email addresses.

• 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. klaire is a automated tool that generate kgraft patch from static patch.

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

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.

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

gettext tools are used by many other projects to process translation files. The support for plurals is relatively new, and works only in basic cases.

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. In order to still be able to access resources inside a company network though it would be very helpful if the salt-ssh command supported remote port forwarding (as with the -R parameter of the ssh command) for tunneling other traffic through the existing ssh connection, for instance a package manager might want to install packages from a company internal RPM repository. A patch was therefore contributed to Salt SSH in order to enable this feature (merged into develop):

A utility to make beautifully printed maps from OpenStreetMap data. Repository at https://github.com/federicomenaquintero/lamaperia

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

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. The goal is to have a complete API documentation on a static webpage and while looking over the API maybe do some improvements here and there.

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". At the moment the reporting dashboard is extremely minimal and lack usability features; the for example SLE-12-SLE-12-SP2 or any other .html file at http://laplace.suse.de/marvin.

This was a short 2-hour fun project. I wrote a small execution module for Salt that takes a text string and a mode ("status", "warning", "error") as input and uses the Sense Hat's Python API to display the text on the Sense Hat's 8x8 RGB LED matrix display.

Goal

Try nfc device to control RPi
