SUSE Hack Week

Learn and use meson a project by JonathanKang meson[0], a replacement to autotools, is very popular nowadays. It's a lot faster than autotools as far as what I hear and see. Besides lots of GNOME projects has been ported to meson. As one of the maintainers of GNOME Logs[1], I need learn meson and try to port Logs to meson for faster building. *[0] http://mesonbuild.com/ Updated about 5 years ago. 4 hacker ♥️.
port notmuch/muchsync to android a project by aaptel port notmuch/muchsync to android, with some java ui on top Updated almost 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
Adopt mkdocs-pandoc an idea by jgrassler Back in the day I wrote mkdocs-pandoc, a tool that lets you generate Pandoc from documentation in mkdocs documentation. The target format for `mkdocs` is HTML pages. The target format for Pandoc is not really limited: you can use it to generate HTML, asciidoc, PDF (via LaTeX), EPUB and many others. Now I do not really have a use for `mkdocs-pandoc` at the moment, so I've been letting its maintenance slip - basically I'm not maintaining it anymore. It is still a useful tool, and I'd be happy to see it dusted off and adopted by someone who uses it actively enough to maintain it. I'll ask around among the various folks who forked it (there are a few), but maybe there's someone at SUSE who'd be interested as well. Updated over 6 years ago. No love. Has no hacker: grab it!
Package odpdown and get it into OpenSUSE a project by jgrassler I am currently using odpdown for presentations (tl;dr: it lets you write your slides in Markdown and generates Libreoffice slides from that and a Libreoffice slide master (such as a corporate identity template)). It is currently not available in OpenSUSE so it needs to be packaged and submitted to Factory. If somebody other than me wants to take this on, please ping me. There used to be a package in the author's home project on OBS which has since vanished. I think I've still got a checkout somewhere... Updated about 4 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
Make maildirproc IMAP ready a project by jgrassler I currently use maildirproc for filtering Maildirs downloaded by offlineimap and like its highly flexible approach to filtering a lot (filters Python code). This works very well, except for one problem: after filtering, the next offlineimap run deletes the messages that where previously in `Inbox` on the mail server and uploads them to the folders they were sorted into. Depending on how many emails one gets, this is a colossal waste of bandwidth. It is technically possible to filter and move on the server side, as proven by imapfilter. I would like to add the same capability to `maildirproc` by implementing an IMAP client. Updated about 3 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.
Setup a WhatsApp <-> XMPP Gateway a project by holgisms I'm using Conversations (XMPP+OMEMO) as an encrypted IM solution. Since a lot of groups organizing them self using WhatsApp, it's hard to stay away from it. Updated about 3 years ago. 6 hacker ♥️.
Improve kernel crashdump upload infrastructure a project by puzel 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. The goal of the project is to understand the workflows and needs of Customer Support, L3 and engineering (Labs) and to implement a system to automate parts of the workflows. Updated about 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
Supportconfig to VM/Container an idea by puzel Supportconfig contains plenty of information about the system at which it has been generated. Common task within the support chain is reproduction of the customer reported issues in our environment. The goal is to develop a tool which takes supportconfig as input and produces either a VM or a container image, resembling as closely as possible the system described by the suportconfig (e.g. installed SP, package versions, storage layout, networking layout, ...). Benefit: help with setting up the reproduction environment. On top of that, having a workflow and associated tooling+infrastructure to pass the VM/container through the support chain (backline->L3->product engineering and/or QAM) could avoid duplicated work. Updated about 5 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
L3 workflow in Jira an idea by puzel L3 workflow is implemented in a custom, developed in-house, tool called SolidGround Explore possibilities to implement existing L3 workflow in Jira to determine whether it could potentially replace SolidGround, thus reducing the effort needed to develop and maintain SolidGround.

Pair Programming Test Drive/Probefahrt a project by mamorales Are you interested in pairing? Are you wondering whether it is something that would help you and your team members in your current project? Would you like to try it out before you fully commit to such an extreme idea? Then this is your lucky day Sir/Madam! Within the Cloud Foundry project you are expected to pair pretty much every time you are working on something. In the BOSH OpenStack CPI team this isn't the exception, so I've been doing it for the past 15 months. I'd like to transfer some of that experience to you fellow SUSE colleague. We can discuss about the pros and cons that this agile methodology has. For example, there are many misconceptions on how to pair, for once, having the right hardware makes a huge difference. During Hack Week 16 you have the chance to test drive a dual-control workstation (see image) which I believe is one of the biggest differentiators to have a good experience when pairing full time.
