Parametrizable formulas is a normal salt module plus some metadata in order to interactively parametrize them. The metadata is used to automatically generate forms that are then injected as pillar data.

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.

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.

There are a couple of interesting initiatives that make the openSUSE project interesting for SMB, such as

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

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.

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.

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

Since eBPF was introduced into linux kernel, the eBPF verifier keeps the eBPF programs from any wrong-doing. I would like to look into the verifier and see if it's possible to extend the check to avoid reading any sensitive data in the memory.

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.

Record several time lapse video for this HackWeek.

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.

After joined Gary's BCC workshop a few days ago. The BCC is interesting to me, so I'd like to look into it.

libpsoas is a C++ library for writing Ceph clients.

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...

There are several popular ways of controlling home automation with voice today. Amazon Echo and Google Home both allow users to control lights, speakers, etc. with a simple voice command.

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.

It would be excellent if Hackweek projects had a standard way to include URLs for their code repositories, as well as URLs for communication methods like chat and email. This would allow folks who are interested in a project to either lurk a bit to learn more, or directly reach out to the folks running the project.

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

boot: to find logs with both kernel and user-space parts, be able to add debug flags etc. to the failing service configuration... suspend/resume: what services are configured? Something triggered via DBus? How to find? And how to debug that?

Since sometime we have limited time to file a bug, especially during daily review of testsuites result. Then some bugs are lake of introduction about what the testsuite are tested, it makes developer take more time to debug this issue. I'd like to find a way to add some description in somewhere convenient to use, when file a kernel function bug.

We used trinity to make fuzzing test, but it hard to reproduce bugs. I'd like to try to use syzkaller or other fuzzy tools to find a stable process to reproduce fuzzy bugs.

As you know, SUSE acquired Openattic last year, which is a great storage management system.

The new features below were added for the cluster (shared disk) scenario of LVM2 in upstream half year ago. I'm new to LVM2, and have been busy with bugfix things this days. This hackweek

ESP8266 Tinkering

Lenovo Tab 3 Business is nice piece of hardware with ARMv8 CPU and plenty of memory. It would be nice to try to boot some other OS.

I found recently that my DVB-T tunner plugged into Turris Omnia router gets a lot of I2C errors and sometimes divisions by zero.

yast2-storage-ng is a reimplementation of the YaST storage module (yast2-storage) based on the also reimplemented library for storage manager

The SMBIOS specification includes an informative annex providing conformance guidelines for DMI table implementations. I would like to write a checker tool to verify the conformance of DMI tables, based on this document. Such a tool could be useful for system firmware writers.

Extend Teuthology to meet our needs. This includes (but is not limited too):

headmore is your fully functional VNC client (viewer + control) launched from command line for your geeky character terminals (Linux VT console, xterm, and more):

[Description]

I want to understand the basics and architecture of KMS / DRM drivers in the kernel (also in mesa, but this project is more about the kernel-side). I will read docs and attempt to implement a virtual kernel-mode-setting driver (vkms) as described in Documentation/gpu/todo. This would be a KMS driver for a fake modesetting graphics device, just using normal system memory. This can be useful for learning, but judging from dri-developer discussions, also useful for testing hotplug races, plane blending and finding other KMS/DRI infrastructure bugs.

SUSE has lots of information in a jungle of tools within the company network. We want to create a platform to extract and refine (distil) the available information and display it in a meaningful manner. The overarching goal is to make available data more accessible.

Github Project

Plans of the Project

make crowbar+openstack work on openSUSE Leap 42.2

djmount is a neat idea - see UPnP/AV resources in your directly in the file system. Unfortunately the code hasn't been maintained for ~10y, and - at least for me - seems to by plagued by various bugs causing crashes and what not. There's currently no official openSUSE package. This project aims to pick up the code, fix bugs, and make the tool actually useful again. The code itself seems to be in quite a good shape, so this should be doable.

It looks like OTR will never be implemented for Empathy. But two years after Snowden end-to-end encryption is really a basic requirement for every secure chat program. A few weeks ago I read about a promising protocol called OMEMO which seems to overcome all shortcomings of OTR and GnuPG with respect to instant messaging.

DevOps is hot, and SUSE now is changing that we will not only provide OS and relative products but also online-application-like products e.g. docker application, so L3 service needs to improve as well.

Just for Fun!

Want to build a server which can help us to manage some resource. The functions contain : Reserve, Lock, Release, Timer, Change,Add,Cancel,Delete etc.

Over the last year or so I have developed an IRC bot to work with the chat service of twitch.tv, providing user engagement functionality.

I want to play with Cassandra. The idea is to use Cassandra as the backend of a Job Reporting System.

Create a belt buckle with integrated cribbage board.

Create a site where users can post their desired epitaph

Updates and improvements to the android Skill Shot app.

Build a paper folding machine capable of folding Skill Shot.

Create a public art installation around this delete your facebook video. Essential elements are a screen and speaker (loud enough to be heard on a busy street environment but not so loud as to draw noise complaints). Video on repeat.

Experiment with kite aerial photography

I have a Flipdot sign that needs control hardware/software. I believe it supports RS485.

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.

Websh is:

sumaform is a set of terraform modules to deploy SUSE Manager installations originated in Hackweek 14.

Turn an android tablet into a drawing tablet

Farfalla, is a bot for analyze cucumber failures on the fly.

Have some knowledge on Dockers , but now taking the next step in understanding and expanding my skill set in containers and kubernetes.

I just want to learn how OpenCV works. And having a portable version would be great.

Learn about developing a YaST plugin by creating a plugin to manage SSH Tunnels. Creating SSH port tunnels along with corresponding iptables rules is a useful technique for being able to access virtual machines on a remote host that only visible on a private network. Managing and maintaining these connections via scripts and tmux sesssions is less desirable than doing it through a nice UI like YaST.

I recently got Jeedom working on SLES for Raspberry Pi. However, I'ld love to play more with it like controlling my window shutters. This hackweek could also be an occasion to get as much as possible of the jeedom plugins to work on SLES and openSUSE.

To implement OTR function on IRC client, to make chatting private.

The idea is to create a bootable medium (eg. pendrive) that allows:

This is an idea that's been kicking around for a while... maybe it's finally time to "make it so."

I am HA developer, don't have any experience on machine leaning field. Recent years, many topics like "Data Analysis, Data Mining, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Big Data, etc... (I don't forget AI, but in not this time)" become more and more popular and seems interesting to me. I also want to know how high availability function implemented in some distributed system for the core part.

This was planned for previous hackweek (hw16-1)

This project is about hacking and pushing further an engine called BPAEngine written in plymouth that enable people to develop better boot screens without much effort. Having those new boot screens in our distributions would be great.

This project is about fixing this known Jangouts issue that is reported over and over, since many user experiencing problem with the outgoing WebRTC traffic or with camera authorization can "lurk" what happens in the room without being noticed.

Packages added by the dependency solver in order to resolve a user's request, are marked as having been automatically installed. They may later be removed, if no more manually installed packages depend on them (e.g. by zypper remove --clean-deps).
