SUSE Hack Week

Reviving the Nokia N900 a project by mstaudt The Nokia N900 is a versatile phone/tablet/mini-computer. While its specs are outdated by today's standards, it's still hard to find something equivalently useful to hack on-the-go. Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
OCI Image Distribution with RPMs a project by cyphar Currently the Open Container Initiative doesn't specify a distribution protocol or system, and the current "standard" format is the Docker registry protocol. Aside from technical reservations with Docker registry, it is also not an OCI-compliant system and will require a lot of work to integrate it into all of the openSUSE/SUSE tooling. Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
Refresh connect.opensuse.org a project by lrupp Connect is the "social network" of the openSUSE community. While this might not sound so important, the problem is that the tool is used for membership management and all the other "administrative" stuff for the openSUSE community, which makes it a very important tool. Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
linux antivirus engine an idea by bmwiedemann http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/dumb/ explained in detail that filtering badness is a dumb idea, so if we wanted to build a linux antivirus software, we would need a whitelist of programs that would be allowed to execute. We can easily use the rpm database for that. But what is missing, is a mechanism through that the kernel would check before executing $binary if it is OK to run it. Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Add a ncurse UI to wireshark an idea by aaptel Wireshark has a CLI program called `tshark` that can dump the dissectors raw (or xml) output. It would be nice to have complete curses wireshark UI, either by reusing tshark xml output or by making another ui program. Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Gothic facade generator an idea by federico-mena I want to write a bot that generates random Gothic facades. Maybe using L-systems? Maybe that generates SVG? Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Use linear programming for the partitioning proposal an idea by ancorgs The YaST team is rewriting yast2-storage. That includes new shiny code for the storage proposal during installation. It calculates what partitions and/or volumes need to be created to allocate the system and finds the best way to create those partitions in the existing free spaces. The second part becomes more complicated than it looks as soon as you start considering the restrictions imposed by each volumes and by the technology (primary vs logical partitions, for example). Updated almost 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Support verification of digitally signed PDFs in Evince an idea by mkoutny PDF format allows inclusion of digital signatures. Unfortunately, Evince can't provide these metadata to the user. Updated almost 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Yet another task tracking tool an invention by mkoutny Create a task tracking tool that would suit my needs (and enrich the pool of such author-only-optimized software). Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
Make some progress on reversing Microsoft new CoW filesystem, ReFS an idea by aaptel >Resilient File System (ReFS), codenamed "Protogon", is a Microsoft proprietary file system introduced with Windows Server 2012 with the intent of becoming the "next generation" file system after NTFS.
