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.
