It seems that systemd-nspawn, together with machinectl can use qcow2 images directly.

Sometimes, you want a flexible way to handle certain situations involving C++ exceptions, particularly those for which alternative actions are either easily encapsulated, do not substantially interrupt the program flow, or must cross a foreign-function interface or thread boundary.

Eliminate the overhead that usually comes with managing access details and credentials for many hosts in many locations by providing tools to install an 'anchor' service on one publicly accessible server, and a reverse tunnel and authentication synchronization service on each of the hosts one needs access to.

Python offers some useful libraries for this topic, I already know numpy and openCV, I want to try for example scikit-image.

There is a long-standing problem that mirrorbrain on download.opensuse.org does not do reasonable redirection when a user comes by with an ipv6 address...

Ever left a restaurant wanting to write a review, but thinking it wasn't worth the trouble to tap out all those words on your phone -- you just want to give the place your n stars and provide a few words of praise or condemnation? If only you could press a button to generate a plausible review. If this project happens, you will.

RabbitMQ is, in this hacker's opinion, hard to run, hard to scale, hard to debug, and difficult to run in a HA situation. ZeroMQ takes a different approach from the centralized broker model, and instead runs a daemon on every machine that needs to send or receive message over the bus, and communicates directly between machines.

Playing around with kvm, libvirt and related tools to setup an easy to use and quickly available test environment on my workstation. Find out which other tools or environments are available on SUSE side, which can be used instead of a local/private solution.

The goals: - Learn enough Java fundamentals to understand OpenDaylight code

GCC's IPA-SRA pass is run as a regular pass, not as an IPA pass. While this has simplified its implementation quite a bit, it's been creating pass-ordering issues for years now. So, let me try again to make it a real IPA pass, possibly dropping the capability to turn by-reference parameters to by-value ones, but definitely giving it the ability to work on strongly connected components of the call graph. And ending the pass-ordering issues.

There have some kernel mechanisms that they keep symmetric key or password in memory. Those password or key may leak through /dev/mem, kdump, hibernation, bpf print to userland.

kCFI is a tool that enables the compilation of commodity Operating Systems with Control-Flow Integrity protection. kCFI first prototype was developed/implemented during a PhD program held in the University of Campinas, in Brazil. Although fully functional, the tool remains in a very experimental shape, needing to be refactored prior to being released.

In general plan for YaST is to use ruby only in future. So goal of this project is to move it forward and replace more parts with ruby.

I plan to learn openQA during this hack week. Below are the details:

libmarpa is an parsing library based on Earley's algorithm, by Jeffrey Kegler.

I want to get started with developing apps for phones and tablets. It is a very general idea, rather open ended.

Take the source rpm of a package (e.g. systemd), find the upstream tests, run them, store the results to a database that a web ui can access and display them. Now, do this automatically, for every qam-sle update.

Nightwatch.js is a Node.js based End-to-End (E2E) testing solution for browser based apps. It's based on Webdrive, meaning it's a very reliable way for me to test HAWK UI! It's a great opportunity to learn Webpack, PhantomJS nightwatch and to set up a TDD approach with any new features written with vue.js, the framework which we will be using in HAWK from now on.

Implement a basic file search for a given OBS project. An example of basic functionality can already be found for Ubuntu or Debian. The goal is to implement,

In the last hackweeks and my free time, I've been developing several tools to various degrees of completion. The purpose of this hackweek is to finish three of them, publish them on github and create openSUSE packages.

1. currently when you navigate to Test Results page - it will load everything before show you the page. I plan to change this model into "load on demand" approach
2. Test Details page currently show you thumbnails for all modules. Want to add expand/collapse functionality for thumbnails - by default you will not see them for passed modules. But you will have ability to expand them. Also I will add "Expand All"/"Collapse All"

Just an excuse to learn more about antlr and parsing in general.

I want to use this Hackweek to explore (Functional) Reactive Programming to be able to use it in my day-to-day work.

HTTPBoot was added into UEFI SPEC since 2.5. It aims to replace PXE and provides more features. Actually, the concept of HTTPBoot is similar to PXE. It starts with the HTTP URL from the DHCP server and fetches the data with the HTTP protocol. The key difference between HTTPBoot and PXE is the support of DNS. With DNS, the firmware and the bootloader can resolve the domain name so it's possible to pass the well-known URL to download the image instead of the explicit IP URL. Besides, HTTP is designed to cross different domains, while tftp (PXE) is only for the local network.

2019

oscar is short for osc sugar, it will be a collection of little wrapper scripts on top of the openSUSE build service command-line tool that make it easier to use.

This is preparation/accompanying project to my school thesis.

I freshly bought a small and cheap laptop ASUS 200H based on Cherrytrail. My plan is to install openSUSE on it, and bring it along with my vacation in the following week :)

openQA has a well earned reputation as a 'full system' testing tool, able to test a system end-to-end from the operating system to it's applications on a number of different platforms and architectures, including VM's & Bare Metal.

Rewrite the authboss Go library (authentication engine) for use with JWTs. Clean up existing code. Fix bugs etc.

Basically $topic, as of the latest release of ceph, we have some not so trivial support to pull off something like this at least for metadata, need to see if data sync is also permitted, and then probably hook it to sync to AWS itself

The idea is quite simple, and all the pieces should already be there - but what is, IMO, lacking is putting them all together:

Learn enough Rust to be able to collaborate with the servo project (http://servo.org)

Tasks

Small non profit organisations or activist groups need a Web presence that is easy to maintain by several authors. When using a CMS they do not have the resources to secure the CMS from the various possible attacs most CMSes are notorious for. Defacement or placing malicious content can damage the reputation of such non profit organisations.

A common task in L3 is to find a difference between package release X+1 which is reported as broken by customer and X which was working fine. OBS does not provide easy mapping between their revisions and package release numbers. It has "rdiff" command for comparing two packages from different projects, but it does not allow to select only one file or specify different revisions for compared packages.

Description

• Learn and implement a Memcached like distributed, in-memory, light weight key, value store in GoLang.
• Planning to leverage hashicorp/serf for discovering servers and consistent hashing techinque for storing key,value across servers.

SUSE Manager has the possibility to add custom channels using the GUI.

partnerFATE (based on openFATE) is the interface used by our partners to interact directly with the SUSE feature database. It's an important tool and has been a reliable service for years, but could use some updates and enhancements. My goal (if I find time) is to install a local instance of partnerfate to use as a test bed for fixes and enhancements.

In ubuntu, you can install grub-ipxe, which adds an ipxe entry to the grub menu. This allows you to easily pxe boot on machines that may not natively support it. You can also use it along with grub2-reboot to remotely re-image a machine. The project has been started here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:blarson:grub-ipxe
