OpenFaaS - Functions as a Service

Motivation / Problem

As in near future, there will be python2python3 in Factory but no /usr/bin/python and in SLE-15 base no python2 it is necessary to start checking/switching dependencies.

Try to get back an automatic email notification about new or changed SAP Notes. Since SAP has closed down some of their internal servers, which hosted an unofficial database/API to the SAP Notes, the nice email notification service of the SAP LinuxLab is terminated.

A pocket operating system,can be burned in a usb stick. Not the live usb,you can save all your changes in this.

OMEMO is the next generation of end-to-end encryption method for IM applications, which supersedes OTR. Compare to OTR, OMEMO provides many useful new features.

Take some online classes for penetration testing tools and then practice using them. The goal is to learn enough to provide some value for pen testing of real products. Originally I was hoping to have a real cloud to pen test, but that appears unlikely so I plan to set up an Apache web server instead as the system under test. It won't matter much as the goal is to learn to use the tools.

What is HRV ?

Objective

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Why

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

Behavior-Driven Development is a process to follow in software development. I want to learn how BDD testing framework works. Learn how the pieces fall together and how frameworks are put together, as well as best practice of BDD.

Matrix.org is a project to create a protocol and server implementation to replace IRC.

The following improvements for kanku are planned:

Right now portusctl is a tool which is embedded into the Portus source code. This was done out of simplicity and with the hope that we would share as much code as possible with Portus itself. However:

After an internal call for help to take over software.opensuse.org deployment, I spend some time studying the code in order to find out what would it mean to take it over.

I want to experiment with three things:

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.

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.

Everything is (in) a module now. They depend on each other and you need a whiteboard and a few different colors to understand and remember how.

A lot of custom-built or ethusiast-level keyboards such as the Planck, Zeal60, Let's Split and many more use an open-source firmware called QMK. This firmware allows you to freely define your keyboard layout and add a lot of functionality (i.e. emitting a different keycode on long and short keypress, dual-function keys, leader keys (think of vi's :)). We could use the Hack Week to add functionality, check the source code for security issues and add support for more keyboards.

retro-gtk is a toolkit for GTK+-based Libretro frontends. It is mainly used by GNOME Games to play retro games via Libretro gaming console emulators.

Most large workloads such as SAP HANA require special, highly optimized configuration to run in a virtual machine. Virtual resources such as memory and CPU must be carefully configured to ensure optimum performance of the virtual machine workload. Default VM configuration created by tools such as virt-install are not optimized and often result in poor performance of large workloads due to memory access latencies and incorrect/incomplete information available to the VM's task scheduler.

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

1% of SUSE Manager's functionality in 0.1% of the lines of code

The aim of this project is to finish up the work already done in previous editions of Hackweek in regards to zypper-docker. That being:

With all those analyzers for C code we get so much information about our C code.

We need to package avocado, get it into distro and migrate some of our testsuites from ctcs2. Atm avocado is present in openSUSE:Factory and Backports exist at my home project

There seems to be an overall consensus that the ioctl interface used by ethtool is a poor design as it's inflexible, error prone and notoriously hard to extend. It should clearly be replaced by netlink and obsoleted. Unfortunately not much actual work has been done in that direction until this project started.

A nice project for enhancing the winter time:

Rust Emacs clone (sort of), see README for details.
