Research telemetry for (open)SUSE products
Most of design is done still with a embarrassing amount of data. Having released software for decades, we still don't know exactly what module is the most used, what workflows the customers are following, where do customers fail. It is all guesses and opinions.
The idea of this project is to research:
- What options exists to collect UX/telemetry data from:
- Web applications
- command line applications
- Custom desktop applications
- Are there any standards on the data format, server implementation, etc?
- Collecting data is a sensitive topic, even more in enterprise environment. How can the data be anonymized, checked and voluntarily transmitted in a transparent and hassle-free way?
- How can the data be published for public interest and consumption? eg. open-source communities contributing to these projects.
- Apart of UX, what other data would be interesting to collect?
- Instrumentation data for performance improvements
- Crash data for stability improvements.

WebUI for your data by avicenzi
A single place to view every bit of data you have.
Problem
You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.
- Family photos and videos.
- Lots of eBooks, TV Shows, Movies, and else.
- Boxes full of papers (taxes, invoices, IDs, certificates, exams, and else).
- Bank account statements (multiple currencies, countries, and people).
Maybe you have some data on S3, some on your NAS, and some on your local PC.
- How do you get it all together?
- How do you link a bank transaction to a product invoice?
- How to tag any object type and create a collection out of it (mix videos, photos, PDFs, transactions)?
- How to store this? file/folder structure does not work, everything is linked together
Project Description
The idea is a place where you can throw all your data, photos, videos, documents, binaries, and else.
Create photo albums, document collections, add tags across multiple file-formats, link content, and else.
The UI should be easy to use, where the data is not important for now (could be all S3 or local drive).
Similar proposals
The closest I found so far is https://perkeep.org/, but this is not what I'm looking for.
Goal for this Hackweek
Create a web UI, in Svelte ideally, perhaps React.
It should be able to show photos and videos at least.

None so far, this is just an idea.
Saline (state deployment control and monitoring tool for SUSE Manager/Uyuni) by vizhestkov
Project Description
Saline is an addition for salt used in SUSE Manager/Uyuni aimed to provide better control and visibility for states deploymend in the large scale environments.
In current state the published version can be used only as a Prometheus exporter and missing some of the key features implemented in PoC (not published). Now it can provide metrics related to salt events and state apply process on the minions. But there is no control on this process implemented yet.
Continue with implementation of the missing features and improve the existing implementation:
authentication (need to decide how it should be/or not related to salt auth)
web service providing the control of states deployment
Goal for this Hackweek
Implement missing key features
Implement the tool for state deployment control with CLI

Update my own python audio and video time-lapse and motion capture apps and publish by dmair
Project Description
Many years ago, in my own time, I wrote a Qt python application to periodically capture frames from a V4L2 video device (e.g. a webcam) and used it to create daily weather timelapse videos from windows at my home. I have maintained it at home in my own time and this year have added motion detection making it a functional video security tool but with no guarantees. I also wrote a linux audio monitoring app in python using Qt in my own time that captures live signal strength along with 24 hour history of audio signal level/range and audio spectrum. I recently added background noise filtering to the app. In due course I aim to include voice detection, currently I'm assuming via Google's public audio interface. Neither of these is a professional home security app but between them they permit a user to freely monitor video and audio data from a home in a manageable way. Both projects are on github but out-of-date with personal work, I would like to organize and update the github versions of these projects.
Goal for this Hackweek
It would probably help to migrate all the v4l2py module based video code to linuxpy.video based code and that looks like a re-write of large areas of the video code. It would also be good to remove a lot of python lint that is several years old to improve the projects with the main goal being to push the recent changes with better organized code to github. If there is enough time I'd like to take the in-line Qt QSettings persistent state code used per-app and write a python class that encapsulates the Qt QSettings class in a value_of(name)/name=value manner for shared use in projects so that persistent state can be accessed read or write anywhere within the apps using a simple interface.

I'm not specifically looking for help but welcome other input.
