New Development

I promised to start this project way earlier, but I think Hackweek will be a great time to make a start.

Join us in singing a capella — barbershop-style and others. Find us on RocketChat: #chameleon-harmonists

This is the tool I've been working on since HW11 and it needs more work. Actually, there's always something which could be done on it. It is basically an x86 instruction decoder with special emphasis on the kernel and decoding interesting pieces of it in order to help in the development of low-level patching techniques, among others.

Description

It can boot up from udisk/floppy.

Use this hackweek to practice and learn more about Go.

RPMlint upstream milestone 2.0 is shaping up but there are still ticket that needs to be tackled to finalize the release and enjoy the freshness of awesome QA on Tumbleweed/SLE16.

The supportconfig tool is a great resource for troubleshooting common system issues on SLES but its functionalities might not be enough to troubleshoot other issues related to cloud solutions. I would like to invite you to contribute on this project by creating new plugins/tools to complement supportconfig's great power and ease the troubleshooting process for SUSE Openstack Cloud product.

A good way of getting to know a new programming language is... writing some code. So although there are some good IRC bouncers, like ZNC, we want to write another one just for learning.

Suggest a new T shirt system using data mining techniques.

We got two old mainboards and hope we can get at least one of them to boot linux from coreboot.

The Doc team decided to collect remainders of foreign currencies to donate them to a 3rd world project.

There are a couple of interesting initiatives that make the openSUSE project interesting for SMB, such as

This project is meant to practice python and download filtered 58 information

From a user perspective there are many ways to secure email communication with pgp. Especially the key handling is still challenging non tekkis.

Motivation: "Make Jangouts Great Again!!"

Although availability of computer games on Linux has improved a lot there is way more potential for openSUSE to fire them up.

Have several raspberry pis at hand, and also bought a Zodiac a while ago, will setup a software define network with ryu. Also will check on package possibility for ryu in opensuse

Hi, We would like to make a new demo showcase similar to our previous LEGO excavators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJdZ3kr2u9o

Make a final attempt to implement a graphical user interface for grub2 (gfxboot2).

The idea is about an easy way to allow users to make upgrades (e.g.: changing from one major version like 15.0 to version 15.1) using a GUI and as easy as they can in Ubuntu.

There is a super cool framework for mobile phone apps available: ionic (http://ionicframework.com/)

The goal is to learn about Kaggle and Machine Learning.

Idea is create applet with same functionality which provided by network-manager applet . Gather more detailed requirements is part of fun :)

Yes this project is yet another project for creating a Suse Manager clone.

The openstack-helm project run Openstack in a Kubernetes cluster using helm charts.

Currently externaltools is deployed manually with RPM. This is a manual process and involves packaging gem dependencies.

Inspired by Corebird, I'd like to write a native GTK+ Weibo application for Linux, so that I can learn how to write a GTK+ application from scratch, and every Weibo users can benefit from it.

If you are now thinking of Salt-SSH, this is not completely wrong, but also not right. What we are talking about here, is an other Transport for Salt, a replacement for ZeroMQ.

openvswitch is more used by openstack and software defined networking stack. And it seems having a lot of improvements. In this hackweek, I'd like to see what's

To follow a responsible disclosure while dealing with security issues on Open Build Service, we are going to setup a gitlab project mirroring our github project and set CI, using gitlab CI, to make sure that the security changes aren't introducing any regression and avoid embargoed issues being leaked.

I'd like to spent some time improving the network for our office in Gran Canaria in the following aspects:

"salt-toaster" allows you to test multiple Salt package flavors across different operating systems via Docker containers. This project is heavily used on the SUSE Manager team to hardening the Salt package that is shipped on the openSUSE/SLE distributions. Link to GitHub repository

zypp-closure is a small helper tool making use of libzypp and the metadata of product repositories.

When we started brain storming a project for hack week, one of the floated ideas was to remake the 1983 film WarGames, and for lack of available space, a local lot with storage units was proposed. Over the course of the following years, while we planned, we realized that this whole idea would not be the most feasible, but it still felt like we were onto something.

Currently, each filesystem developer does his fstests runs (a testsuite for regression-testing of filesystems) on his dedicated test machine, on Orthos machine, ... This not only means duplication of efforts to automate this testing but also leads to inefficient use of resources (sometimes the test machine is just idle, sometimes you would need more tests to run in parallel to speed up development). The goal of this effort is to use SUSE Engineering Cloud to implement fire-and-forget fstests runs where you specify kernel to test (fetched from git tree or so), fstests configs to run, and then just pick up test results later on...

The purpose of this project is to train myself in SUSE Manager and SaltStack.

The software is a rails app with an Angular.js frontend using the gphoto2 library to trigger a Nikon D60 camera.

Oficina, a mechanical workshop application developed in Qt/C++

Customers are using complex storage stacks such as LVM over dm-crypt over MD RAID over multipath over iSCSI and FC with LOTs of LUNs, and we're facing problems in that area which are usually very hard to reproduce. It's also hard to guard against regressions.

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.

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.

Effort planning in large-scale agile projects with multiple stakeholders

I would like to dedicate my time to the improvement of the Czech localization of KF5.

Hackweek is a place for fun and things and also great things and a lot of fun. Some things don't require a reason - they are fun, that's all to it. Here goes a small competition with a lot of fun to it.

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 successor of

Ceph offers a highly scalable and fault-tolerant storage system. Samba is already capable of sharing data located on the Ceph Filesystem, however scale-out sharing (the same data exposed by multiple Samba nodes) currently requires the use of CTDB for consistent and coherent state across Samba cluster nodes. In such a setup CTDB provides a clustered database with persistent key-value data storage and locking. Database usage is abstracted out via a generic dbwrap interface.

Hackweek 18 Update

An initial prototype from the last hackweek can be found on YouTube

Let's use the Hackweek to improve Ruby, the programming language I use every day. It is while using a language when you can realised that things that need/can to be improved, so there are many things that only Ruby developers can raise up. Also, getting involved in the development of Ruby will help to get a better understanding of how it works. So I will take my ideas/concerns to the Ruby community and implement some of the them in the code of the Ruby core.

There are some interesting and promising new tools for kabi checking that have been developed in the past 2-3 years (e.g. abidiff/libabigail, kabi-dw) . See if any of them prove to be viable alternatives to our current dependence on the brittle genksyms/modversions infrastructure in the kernel.

strace can parse syscall arg structures and print them in user-friendly way. For ioctl syscalls there is greater variety of the structures and not all are supported. Let's start with covering autofs data.

Fix https://gitlab.com/m2crypto/m2crypto/issues/204, see more discussion therein.

GNU Guix is a functional package manager that is also available on openSUSE Leap 15 and Tumbleweed.

I'd like to consider the possibilities for redesigning SUSE documentation. Mark Baker ("Every Page is Page One") says "include it all, filter it afterwards" which is the exact antithesis of what we currently offer. Let's consider how we can move documentation into the future: search driven, user friendly, accessible, and in line with the way our readers use the rest of the internet.

Overview

With the recent explosion of product extensions, modules, bases, the decomposition of monolithic base products into modules, and the amount of churn in product composition between releases, the task of calculating product dependencies and migrations between products has approached the complexity of package management. We have a state of the art tool for solving package dependencies, so why not apply it to the new domain?

The current crash-setup source is located here. Pretty much is working nicely but it doesn't care for the debug source making it impossible to use the crash> gdb list * command right away. This is bug 997558 which should be worked on.

The OpenStack Infra team has been running on the EOL'd puppet 3 for too long, they need help updating.

During the hackweek i want also to learn more about this topic.

i want to spend some day of my hackweek to improve salt-toaster https://github.com/openSUSE/salt-toaster

I want to write a new rubocop cop that verifies that a schema.rb file in a Rails project, references a valid migration.

Right now our concourse instance http://salzbreze.suse.de:8080 runs containerized (via docker-compose) on bare metal

Idea is to have SUSE system with OpenZFS as root FS.

Let's containerize SUSE Manager! This will open up different (and interesting) scenarios:

Many of the Uyuni / SUSE Manager web UIs are still based on the no longer maintained Struts framework (version 1.2!) and implemented as JSP pages, while we added newer features based on the Spark framework and React. For me there is a vision of using only one technology stack (especially just one web framework, frontend framework and template engine) eventually, so it is about time to get rid of the old stack. While this is surely a huge effort, why not start with a new login page and then go from there rewriting other pages one by one?

I just got the FST-01G device from my friend, which could work as the Gnuk token. I'm going to try to make it work for ssh authentication.

Since Firefox 57, SUSE's default browser no longer supports XUL extensions. This is a problem for those of us who customized Firefox extensively with multiple addons.

Translations get more and more important in packages live.

I use Calibre (calibre.com) in my opensuse. This tool manage ebooks, convert for many formats and control a ebook reader device. I would use my time to finish portuguese Translation to this project.
