We started the SUSE Musician's Space several Hackweeks ago, out of which we spawned the SUSE band, now known as SUSE LOUD.

New Development

Python is well known all over the world and has wide range of usage. Lets dive into to a bit.

TecnoAlarm is a house alarm system. The input devices are communicating with the main node of the system via an RS 485 bus. In order to be able to plug in such systems in a house automation system, its communication protocol needs to be reverse engineered.

Running openATTIC and DeepSea on Multiple Distributions

This was planned for previous hackweek (hw16-1)

This is the tool I've been working on since HW11 and it needs more work. Actually, there's always something which could be done on it. It is basically an x86 instruction decoder with special emphasis on the kernel and decoding interesting pieces of it in order to help in the development of low-level patching techniques, among others.

Description

It can boot up from udisk/floppy.

There is a lot to do in the openSUSE infrastructure land...

An introduction from minetest website: " Minetest is a near-infinite-world block sandbox game and a game engine, inspired by InfiniMiner, Minecraft, and the like. Minetest is available natively for Windows, OS X, GNU/Linux, Android, and FreeBSD. It is Free/Libre and Open Source Software, released under the LGPL 2.1 or later. "

Use this hackweek to practice and learn more about Go.

Time for technical housekeeping in the shared Gran Canaria office.

SUSE Manager can do some virtual machines management, but needs a lot to be complete. This project is about investigating more on that topic.

Dochazka is a long-term project to replace the obsolete Attendance & Time Tracking system used by the Prague office since 2007. Dochazka is a complex system consisting of three major components:

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

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

The Kubic Project currently produces a "CaaSP-like" Tumbleweed OS, focused on Kubernetes clusters

In this hack week we want to focus on improving the existing components used for http://docsearch.nue.suse.com. Creating separated repositories for each service and pushing them to github.com is also desired.

Kernel dumps, provided by our customers, are uploaded by Customer Support to ziu.suse.de and shared via NFS to L3 servers at which they're analyzed. This procedure works, but likely has room for improvement.

L10N for the book entitled Designing with LibreOffice by Bruce Byfield

The goal of this project is to extend and consolidate the tools used by the Emergency Update Team.
