Linux process scheduler is the core of the Linux operating system,and it will directly affect the accuracy and stability of the Linux operating system is running. I want to deep in Process Scheduling Performance test method and tools.

See how other distros do and solve things and what we can probably learn from them (or where we offer better solutions).

Hackweek 18 Update

What Has Been Done During HackWeek 18

Volumio is a great, Linux based, open source music player for Raspberry PI and x86. Currently it only supports its own playlist format which is basically a json file. So I want to add support for the main playlist file formats to be parsed and converted to volumio playlists.

Laitos is an open source project written in go, it emphasizes simplicity of maintenance and delivers a complete suite of web, DNS, and mail servers to host a personal web server. Beyond the suite of servers, laitos software hooks into numerous API platforms, that altogether enable user access to Internet features (such as Facebook, Twitter, emails) via alternative communication infrastructures such as telephone (PSTN), SMS, and satellite terminals. For added fun, laitos software enables nostalgic computer systems (such as Windows 98 and DOS) to access modern web by rendering web sites on laitos server, and provides web page interactions via text commands and screenshots.

Being part of SUSE's Storage Team I frequently talk about our Deployment tool called Deepsea. Participants/Customers/Partners like the solution we provide to deploy and manage ceph but tend to struggle with a core piece. The policy.cfg [0]

Since there is no real documentation about openQA's lib/ functions I wanted to kill two birds with one stone and write a parser in perl that extracts all function names (and maybe preceding comments) in said directory and improve my perl knowledge by doing this. Possible additions:

A course on Edx -- "Cloud Computing Infrastructure" -- looks very interesting. I want to spend this hackweek to "systematically" learn more about "cloud computing"

Automate analysis of zypper logs using the elastic stack Goals

While DDR4 memory has become quite popular, decode-dimms doesn't know about it and is not able to display any useful information for DDR4 memory modules. I would like decode-dimms to provide the same detailed information about DDR4 memory modules as it does for all older memory types.

There is a couple of libraries available for asynchronous and non-blocking processing of HTTP requests (in Java) that can be used to avoid having threads waiting for responses in request intensive applications, for example: - Apache HttpAsyncClient

The goal is to create a set of YAML files describing L3 supported products with all metadata we need to store there - and a JS presentation layer automatically showing this data in several forms, one of them will be a part of our L3 documentation. Technology: HandleBars.js or similar, plus some YAML technology

Flickr provides not only a large space for photos but also nice features around, including tags and other metadata allowing sorting of photos by different criteria - but one is very limited in the design of something like "frontpage" of such galleries. The solution is to use 3rd party JS solutions using Flickr API, like nanogallery. The purpose of this project is to learn to create such galleries, the best would be to add social features of flickr directly there, like comments or faves.

Deploy an openQA on my locally virtual machine and create 3 openQA test case for nautilus.

While it is important for package maintainers to track the upstream code base activities and backport significant patches in a timely manner, it could be a tedious work when there's hundreds of packages in a project (ahem, GNOME) to follow manually. So I wish to get mail notifications when new commits with certain keywords (e.g. SIG, {crash, hang}{s, ing, ed}, leak(age), CVE-, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=*, etc, etc) come in.

Learn how openQA was implemented in details. And will spend some time to learn Perl (e.g. read the book <Learning Perl>)

As live migration is widely used in many scenarios nowadays, spend one week time to study it and try to improve its efficiency, e.g. seamlessly migrate with less downgrading the guest. Another challenging part is memory migration, as it involves the dirty memory's detection, record and copy.

During testing virtualization , I usually met some issue and can not position the issue location (host or guest), so I would like to deeply learn QEMU code, card the work flow, understand communication mechanism between host and guest. Targets:

Learning design model can help to produce high quality codes, which will benefit our products. I'll do it mainly by reading "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software".
