Learn KMS / DRM graphics driver internals - implement virtual/software KMS drivera project by vliaskovitis 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. Some items to implement: |
Distillery (aka OpenDOC)a project by sven15 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. The initial idea sparked in a Knowledge management workshop for the SUSE Documentation Team. A first, refined version was presented as OpenDoc at openSUSE Conference 2016 |

openSUSE OpenStack Clouda project by bmwiedemann make crowbar+openstack work on openSUSE Leap 42.2 part of this is setting up public CI. For that, we need to port mkcloud to work on Debian. |
Reanimate djmounta project by mwilck 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. |
Try implementing OMEMO encryption for Empathya project by tonghuix 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. This would be a option for Empathy to finally support end-to-end encryption. |
DevOps application for L3 service on researcha project by fanyadan 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. |

Small footprint openflow controller written in golangan idea by spacefito SDN controllers have been around for a while. But all of them seem to attempt so much and do so many things. I would like to create a mini "sdn" controller which is just an openflow controller that connects to an instance of openvswitch, and uses openflow rules to do some mathematical analysis on ip traffic going through the switch. |

Containerized IRC bot service with a Web configuration and management UIa project by ukbelch 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 would like to expand my knowledge of the practical application of Docker by containerizing the bot, and creating an API and web service to allow people to configure and deploy an instance of the bot for their own Twitch channel. |

Ideas about local community involvementa project by vsvecova 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. |

Simple command line monitoring of OpenStack Monasca installationan idea by joadavis Monasca is "Monitoring at Scale" for OpenStack and cloud services. It is a little tricky to run in its current form. There are a number of services that make up Monasca, and a number of underlying services (kafka, zookeeper, spark, etc) that are needed. Add on top of that Ceilosca (Ceilometer metering using Monasca as a back end) and the list gets longer. |

The idea is to enable a series of email notifications as the smoker and contents reach their "done" temperature. |
SSH Tunnel YaST Plugina project by gary_smith 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. Note that the CLI tool https://www.npmjs.com/package/ssh-tunnel-manager has some nice ideas for managing groups and profiles that may be useful. |
Jeedom House automation with SLES on RPIa project by cbosdonnat 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. |

Compare & implement a simple way to startup an open SISan idea by bear454 Washington state is a leader in Alternative Learning Experiences, public schools that teach in unique ways. In order to manage the requirements imposed by the State office of public education, ALEs must use some form of a Student Information System (SIS). Most ALEs in the state subscribe to a closed-source SIS: Wings; most school districts and program administrators have either no knowledge of open source SIS, or are the subject of FUD from vendors like Wings. |
Recipe for packaging Electron appsan idea by bear454 Electron apps are popping up everywhere, from the Atom editor to the Rocket.Chat client to Kap, a cross-platform open-source screen recorder. Electron apps are based on web technologies, and built from the ground up to be platform-agnostic. The electron framework is open source, and most of the apps are as well, but they are typically distributed (for Linux) as either a tarball or via npm. |
Study and play with Machine Learninga project by wanghaisu 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. Google TensorFlow1.0 just released, it is the time to play on it. |

Better Boot Screens with BPAEngine (Plymouth)a project by mdeniz 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. Plymouth is a "basic" scripting language for developing boot screens (See some Fedora examples running). Our openSUSE distributions have their own plymouth themes packaged on the branding-openSUSE package. And in my opinion they are very basic..., just a dot moving in 3 positions with the nice background and a logo. |
Add information about listeners to Jangouts UIa project by ancorgs 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. Copy&Paste from the last comment there: It's true there is a lot of room for improvements to raise the awareness about "lurkers". For example, we could compare the number of people subscribed to your stream and the number of publishers. If numbers do not match, there is somebody listening but not being displayed. That's something we could show in the UI. |
Add zypper markauto/unmarkauto commands to allow tuning automated cleanupa project by mlandres 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). However things may go haywire. Automatically installed packages may turn out to be useful, and you may want to exclude them from any automatic cleanup. And vice versa. |
