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 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.

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 :-)

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

Create an OpenVPN gateway based on SLES 12 JeOS

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

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.

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.

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:

froxlor Server Management Panel

As DBus a main component in Linux user space, in this hackweek I plan to learn more about it.

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.

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.

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