SUSE Hack Week

Old games on modern Linux a project by mstaudt There are plenty of old games that were compiled for Linux - particularly in Loki times around 2000. Let's see whether they can be played on a modern distribution, and how many compatibility layers are required. Updated over 3 years ago. 4 hacker ♥️.
voctoweb - archive for recordings of presentations a project by mmanno media.ccc.de currently hosts about 5TB of presentation recordings. The main mirrors send about 5TB of videos each in a single month. Several OpenSource conferences are hosted on media, like the last two openSUSE conference, or the "All Systems Go!" conference. What started as a web frontend for ftp.ccc.de in 2007 has become a complex project that integrates deeply into the tooling used by the VOC team. Updated over 1 year ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
Learning Rust by rewriting DriConf with GTK+ 4 a project by clanig The DriConf-Project inside of MESA has seen its latest update in 2006 and is implemented with GTK+ 2. https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriConf/ Updated about 4 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
Refactor apply_role in crowbar framework to create a better world a project by itxaka Look at this beauty: https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar-core/blob/master/crowbar_framework/app/models/service_object.rb#L941 Nice uh? Its a 500 lines methods that its distinctly separated into 4 different pieces internally that make 4 very distinct phases inside. Updated about 4 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
Introduce Kitchen tests for the Suse Openstack Cloud chef cookbooks an idea by itxaka There is a lack of testing for our infrastructure code, in the chef part. While we have openstack tests that indicate that the chef cookbooks did their work (kind of) there is multitude of small details that can get away and not come up in the openstack tests that refer to infrastructure and changing cookbooks can lead to disasters without proper testing. Introducing kitchen into the equation with a mix of docker to test how if cookbooks work and deploy exactly as we expect them to. It will make it easier to make changes to some more complex cookbook and test them in a real deployment, without having to wait for mkcloud to do a full run. It also means that its easier and faster to test them locally as we dont need to wait for a full run of 3-5 nodes to start,install,configure but we have a ready docker image that is used as deployment node. Updated about 4 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Play Crystal lang a project by joseivanlopez Crystal [1] is a new language with a syntax heavily inspired by Ruby, but with statically type check and compiled! Its motto is "Fast as C, slick as Ruby", so good reason to start looking at it. I would like to play with it, check the powerful of its compiler and the C-bindings mechanism to call native libraries. Updated over 3 years ago. No love.
Migrate to Tumbleweed as base system a project by joseivanlopez Currently I am using openSUSE Leap 42.2 as base system on the laptop where I do my daily work (Dell Latitude E7470). As a YaST developer my system is a bit broken (as you may guess) and updates are not possible. So it is time to start from scratch. The idea is to adopt some user friendly system for security copies, migrate to Tumbleweed, make extensible usage of virtual machines and try to stay the base system as clean as possible. Updated over 5 years ago. No love.
Make parted great again! a project by sparschauer During regular L3 work I often don't find enough time to work on the command line disk partitioner parted which I maintain. Changes often directly affect yast-storage(-ng) and libstorage(-ng). @aschnell opens bugs faster than I can solve them. Upstream is often slow and often wants patches differently. Updated over 1 year ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
Major user input/output cleanup and improvement for ReaR 2.3 a project by jsmeix I will implement the ReaR upstream issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1399 Updated about 4 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
Adopt teuthology-openstack to run on openSUSE server. an idea by kshatskyy Currently teuthology server is possible to install on ubuntu and setup-script has lack of support of SUSE os, as well as some missing dependencies like beanstalk service. Updated over 5 years ago. No love. Has no hacker: grab it!
