Add URLs for source repos and communication to Hackweek projects

a project by eclectigeek

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. While I understand that you can add these here in the Markdown, I'd like a way that's also programmatically accessible. I'd also like to be able to obfuscate email address in a way that tends to discourage or protect from spammers.

Hack salt-toaster to use systemd-nspawn instead of docker

a project by mdinca

It seems that systemd-nspawn, together with machinectl can use qcow2 images directly. This means I could use the images genereted by kiwi to start containers (for development and for running the tests).

build 32bit packages for x86_64 with better march/mtune

an idea by sleep_walker

32bit packages for x86_64 are generated from i586 packages which are meant to be run on ancient CPUs. But we could have better expectations for 32bit packages as they're installed on x86_64 system. Building 32bit packages with better march/mtune could help with the performance of 32bit only packages like Steam.

Add testcases introduction for kernel testsuites

a project by yosun

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.

Create a Kubernetes API client in Rust

an idea by robdaemon

Rust is a systems programming language from Mozilla. It has stronger safety guarantees than Go, and is well suited to working on cloud native infrastructure. Most Kubernetes development is focused in Go, and it would be great to have something like https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go in Rust.

backport fix for Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T tunner for Turris-OS official kernel

a project by sleep_walker

I found recently that my DVB-T tunner plugged into Turris Omnia router gets a lot of I2C errors and sometimes divisions by zero. I wasn't able to reproduce it on my openSUSE box with 4.9 kernel so there is good chance that newer kernel contains fix (or it is architecture specific problem).

DMI table conformance checker

a project by jdelvare

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. We already have dmidecode which is able to locate and decode DMI tables. It should be fairly easy to reuse the same core and add an alternative structure parser, which would perform the checks instead of printing the decoded information.
