Currently the main complaint people have about OCI tooling is the lack of a transition from Docker to OCI. With umoci you have a lot of low-level image configuration abilities, and skopeo and runC cover the other major parts of the picture, but you need something to tie them together. I'm not going to be implementing YAWAR (Yet Another Wrapper Around Runc). It's just going to be a single script that can take a Dockerfile and create an OCI image that is basically the same as the Docker image you would get -- with the big difference being that you didn't need Docker and everything used the OCI. The other cool benefit of this is that you could build images without privileges (since rootless containers now exist in runC and in umoci).

Firebird Emu is a third-party multi-platform emulator of the ARM-based TI-Nspire™ calculators. Currently it does not run that well on Android and iOS, which I want to change during this hackweek.

I like writing little retro games for my kids but these are rarely 'finished'. So I set myself the project of writing a full game in a week, using Lua and targetting the Pico-8 virtual console: HTML5 online playable version:

See https://github.com/viccuad/salt-configs . The idea is to apply the Puppet code pattern to create salt config files to

This project was to get familiar with shared memory concepts and boost libraries. The excuse was to create a timer visible in the i3 status bar. INFO

Using python's lib requests to write a small(PoC) Web spider. https://gitlab.suse.de/shukui/web-spider

Ceph is very robust for keeping data, beside using cephfs or exporting rbd. It is not too easy to access object directly with a client, let alone mobile. By using Rados gateway, android client can easily using S3/Swift http/s request to read object data from the internet. It is a simple idea to use an existing open source android FileManager e.g. https://github.com/arpitkh96/AmazeFileManager

Alexa understands you. Jessy is the same, but you also understand her! :-)

Everyone loves to talk to the computer. Especially if it understands you. :-) So the Amazon Alexa is a hype right now. However, it requires your marriage to Amazon and signing contract to sell your soul in the afterlife: Alexa is nothing but a fancy microphone that sends everything you speak to ̶F̶B̶I̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶C̶I̶A̶ Amazon cloud so it will access your public API. Yes, and give them your access rights, of course...

PROBLEM I would like to start growing crops but during summer it gets too hot and sometimes I need to water several times a day. Besides, water is a scarce resource which should be used only when required. Therefore, I would like to have a system that water the plants for me.

Microsoft released Windows Server 2016 at October, 2016. In the data center edition, it released Storage Spaces Direct features for SDS/HCI market. What are those new features looks like? Proxmox a open-source company based in Vienna, which provides a linux cluster stack for kvm/lxc environment. What HA Storage related new ideas inside?

git-sort is a a tool that reads a list of git commits and sorts them so that the partial ordering of parent-child relationships is respected. It performs this as a stable sort; it preserves the input order of commits that are on parallel development branches. This tool is useful when backporting a large number of commits so that the commits may be cherry-picked in an order such that no child commit appears before any of its ancestors. The current implementation of git-sort is a proof of concept that uses git merge-base --is-ancestor. Having a more efficient version would ease the handling of large input lists.

the MOD Duo is a guitar/instrument pedalboard made by the company Mod Devices, which has the following features:

Getting familiar with Limesurvey opensource project. Manipulating with templates via CSS and Java script and understandin the logic behind the survey management system. Finding all possibilities which might be usable in our company as internal survey tool or as a tool for openSUSE board voting etc.

In a quite natural and steady way, all my relatives (wife, kids, mother, aunt...) have adopted openSUSE in their computers. There is only one resistance spot. My father's computer (HP+Windows8) implements all kind of mechanisms to avoid dual boot. I plan to use the spare cycles of my Hack Week to get a dual Windows/openSUSE system on that haunted computer. Killing Windows would be a feasible last resort.

We have an ongoing project where we want to build openSUSE Factory with PIE support for all packages. This is done using a "gcc-PIE" preinstalled package, which changes the compiler default to PIE on.

http://squarefootgardening.org/ is a form of intensive gardening that packs plants closely together. It depends on companion planting to encourage growth and protection for pests. The garden-planner project will help people generate a layout for their gardens.

More work on Wolffish prototype here Looking into what a diagnostics view might be (minion stats, ping, etc).

From the kernel-source git repository for SUSE kernels we can extract the people who backported a patch and the files a patch touches. Use this information to build a database for which paths are touched by which developers and write a tool to find the most relevant people for a given source path or upstream patch.
