Ideas about local community involvement
a project by vsvecova
Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

The plan is to gather ideas about how SUSE can become a more integral part of the local tech community scene (in PRG, NUE, or other locations). As a person who has been involved in educating women about tech for some time, I am thinking of introductory workshops and meetups, aimed not necessarily only at female audience.

The output of this project should be a document with suggested activities, including:

  • what resources will be necessary to achieve the related goals
  • who the targeted groups are and how we can reach them
  • what will be the benefits for both the community and the company etc.

      Progress update:

      • Drafted a tentative (rough) outline of introductory Linux workshop https://etherpad.nue.suse.com/p/LinuxBeginnersCourse_Outline
      • Drafted a list of potential community activities which still needs to be expanded with more details https://etherpad.nue.suse.com/p/Communityinvolvementideas

      To do:

      • Continue working on this project in my free time
      • Extend and add details to proposed community activities
      • When done, send the list to Doug, Chris and Petr to discuss the ideas
      • Start organizing!

    Sipario, less mobile phone, more social interactions by baldarn

    Mobile phone usage is addictive. There are adults addicted, but a huge problem is kids addiction We must do something to help avoid problems in this context.

    The solution

    Sipario, an app and community aggregator in order to help with smartphone addiction.

    Description

    The more you use Sipario, the more points you earn. If you use the smartphone, you will lose your points

    Business model

    How is this sustainable?

    I personally don't care, but sutainability of the business is key to possible investments.

    Sipario will allow commercial entities to join the network. The idea is to give commercial activities (eg: restourants, cinemas, theathers, ....) the ability to certify that users are not using the smartphones during the permanence in the place. this will allow then commercial activities to give coupons to users, in order to promote a good behavior and retain the customer

    Tech challenge

    if resources allows it, i would like to create an algorithm that leverage bluetooth for certify people proximity presence in order to avoid attacks from points rouge in the context of the app

    Goals

    Deliver:

    • android app
    • IOs app (some apple developers must join in order to do this)
    • backoffice app
    • BLE algorithm to certify nearby presence

    Technical talks at universities by agamez

    Description

    This project aims to empower the next generation of tech professionals by offering hands-on workshops on containerization and Kubernetes, with a strong focus on open-source technologies. By providing practical experience with these cutting-edge tools and fostering a deep understanding of open-source principles, we aim to bridge the gap between academia and industry.

    For now, the scope is limited to Spanish universities, since we already have the contacts and have started some conversations.

    Goals

    • Technical Skill Development: equip students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to build, deploy, and manage containerized applications using open-source tools like Kubernetes.
    • Open-Source Mindset: foster a passion for open-source software, encouraging students to contribute to open-source projects and collaborate with the global developer community.
    • Career Readiness: prepare students for industry-relevant roles by exposing them to real-world use cases, best practices, and open-source in companies.

    Resources

    • Instructors: experienced open-source professionals with deep knowledge of containerization and Kubernetes.
    • SUSE Expertise: leverage SUSE's expertise in open-source technologies to provide insights into industry trends and best practices.

    Capyboard, ESP32 Development Board for Education by emiler

    Description

    Capyboard 3D

    Capyboard is an ESP32 development board built to accept individual custom-made modules. The board is created primarily for use in education, where you want to focus on embedded programming instead of spending time with connecting cables and parts on a breadboard, as you would with Arduino and other such devices. The board is not limited only to education and it can be used to build, for instance, a very powerful internal meteo-station and so on.

    I already have one initial prototype ready and tested. The next iteration addresses several issues the first prototype had. I am planning on finishing up the mainboard and one of the modules this week.

    This project is also a part of my master's thesis.

    Goals

    • Finish testing of a new prototype
    • Publish source files
    • Documentation completion
    • Finish writing thesis
