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.

Mottainai - Task/Job/Build Server for everyone!

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.

The result for xfstests in osd seems always red[1], but actually it's only a few test fail in a group(around 1/50). If we want to keep use openQA to handle those test, we need some enhancement for that. Try to enhancement test result to make it shows in a better way. - Make more reasonable group for those test

Mozilla's DeepSpeech project[1] is using TensorFlow and some paper from Baidu to make an open source speech to text system, based on deep learning (TensorFlow). The current project allow the training for own local datasets, but also there is a pre-trained model that can be used during the development.

There are customer use cases where sharing information via internet or uploading data somewhere is not acceptable for security reasons: this avoid the usage of some tool like the most famous Google Analytics, and prevent developers from understanding how the web application is used by the customers. I don't want to reinvent the wheel and re-implement a copy of Google Analytics, but getting inspired from it, the goal is to reuse information that we already have to extrapolate an analysis of the WebApp customer usage.

OpenPGP Card is an ISO/IEC 7816-4 compatible smartcard that is integrated with many OpenPGP functions, including signature, encryption, and authentication. It provides an trustful computing environment isolated from the host computer, to guard one's private keys from attacks and exposures. ZetiControl in Germany is the first manufacturer of OpenPGP Card based on BasicCard platform. Since then, compatible USB tokens have also been manufactured, such as Yubikey and Nitrokey.

I would like to learn Elixir, I plan to do some tutorial and look into books. I if I have time also start with Phoenix the framework for Elixir

I would like to take part in the course that is offered at https://suse-academy.hastexo.com/

From the mediagoblin.org website:

Starting from this 2 golden rules:

Description:

This is somehow related with our team's work(https://fate.suse.com/323437), We want to write a set of restful API for any components in HA product stack use to control the cluster.

Ai and Machine learning play important role in our life, I'd like to learn it.

I'd like to write a webservice comparable e.g. to Evernote or NextCloud. Emphasis of the project is that the server only provides storage for the actual data and keys; en- and decryption is to be performed by the client.

Currently Salt is using supportconfig utility alongside with the SUSE Manager installation. Every single bugreport for Salt, that contains its logs are always useless that regard. It might work for SUSE Manager, but for Salt it doesn't. And even after asking user to switch the cluster into a debug mode or even trace mode, it is still far away from being useful enough, so the supporter don't need to dance with the tambourine around the fire, guessing what ghost just munged what component.

At SUSE/openSUSE we are using (at least some times) Etherpad, whose functionality is really limited and looks as taken from the past. After taking a look to other possible Open Source alternatives, I think there is at the moment any which offers all the feature I would like to have. Because of that I would like to contribute to JetPad, with the idea of using it privately and that it can also be used by SUSE/openSUSE.

Intel Chen Yu developed a user land utility:

Hacking on the advanced open source computer algebra system -- FriCAS, which has a long history that dates back to 1965. It has not aged very well: 108 C files has been edited only 66 times in the past decade, and full of compiler warnings;

The Bard music manager is a command line tool to organize local music I've been developing over the last years (in Hackweek 15 it was called finddupmusic). It parses your local music collection and stores the metadata in a sqlite database, then it can generate audio fingerprints and recognize similar/duplicated songs. It can also be used to play music (using internally mpv), set ratings, fix metadata, etc.

On a smaller internet connection or offline the development experience can be severely degraded. This has a big impact on hackathons or other events where multiple people want to get the same content. Workarounds over USB sticks are less usable than an automated way can be. A content addressable transport that can work on a local network without internet would be better.

I'd like to see a web-based desktop RSS reader with a simple 3-pane interface like SharpReader's but it runs in Firefox and uses Firefox shared storage to store the user's usage data on their local machines, not on a server.

See Jonathan Dieter's chunk project.

Steps:

We often struggle to get feedback from our people, in particular if it's supposed to be anonymous. There are external systems on the Internet which are typically commercial, where (free) usage is limited and situation with GDPR isn't clear.

There are several game launchers for Linux already (like Lutris or GR-lida), but none of them is focused on compatibility with old Linux games or other ancient native applications. At the same time it is getting more and more difficult to get those old applications to run on modern Linux distributions.

Right now, during the (open)SUSE installation process, the changes to be performed on the storage devices are presented as a list of actions such as:

Banana-pi R2 has quite a good upstream support in the kernel, but lacks a u-boot support.

There's sadly not much time to enjoy Factorio with friends, so from economy perspective it makes sense not to have the server running when it's not used.

Currently, the Xen-Project supports automated build-testing/CI via GitLab pipelines, within containers based on:

So I have to build a tool for in full automation, when I work on KVM testing. The tool should be base on and compatible QASET (that is used currently in QA team.

Develop a proof of concept frontend based on React and Material-UI as an alternative to the JSP/Struts based frontend currently available.

The subject says it. Learning about DHT seems like a fun project.

As we have grown in our remote and non official office at Gran Canaria we had to rent another space. This new office is almost empty and we need a little bit of love to improve the sensation of relax and commodity while we do what we love most.

Setup a SUMA Server in a VM on my workstation. Playing around to find out, how it works and how to add new functionality (like sapconf or saptune). Learning a little bit SALT will - hopefully - be the nice side effect.

Seastar is an advanced, open-source C++ framework for high-performance server applications on modern hardware. Seastar is used in Scylla, a high-performance NoSQL database compatible with Apache Cassandra Ceph community is currently working on migration to this project as well.

The idea behind this is to have a application, which observe the usage of AWS instances and later other providers like azure and google. This could be used with public cloud tests in openQA.

This is a small learning hackweek that i will do in parallel with my others hackweek and elixir projects

At the suggestion of Hannes, I would like to try to make mhvtl work with tcmu-runner. Mhvtl is a tape-drive emulation package, which emulates various types of tapes drives and tape robot units (for loading drives). This package was originally based on the kernel debug SCSI driver, and still has a kernel component. This kernel component talks to user-space via a special character device.

The aim is to replace dump file read routines in makedumpfile with library functions from libkdumpfile. This should enable (among other things) filtering Xen DomU dump files.

I have been known to talk anybody I held presentations with into using odpdown.

Abstract:

• Cloud hosted applications are now composed of many microservices often deployed in containers. When things go wrong, are slow, or just not understood, where can we turn?

[CaaS] [CAP] Work on a long term solution for L3 team to easily reproduce customer's issues

I'm planning to get basics of Reactive Programming and especially the documentation in ReactiveX and try some examples from RxPy

Aims to understand Flatpak(previously aka xdg-app), an application sandboxing and distribution framework (formerly xdg-app) on Linux. The final goal is "build my first app".

A social network for Bugs and test cases!

Volumio is a great, Linux based, open source music player for Raspberry PI and x86.

I use the KDevelop IDE whenever I can. At SUSE mostly for reading code while debugging some bug. My plan is to create plugin that will show extra information inline with the code to make it easier to explore foreign code.

Can we improve the remote hackweek experience for remote or non NUE people at SUSE?

As title says, I want to finish the Windows Subsystem for Linux images of SLES and Leap 15, which Fabian Vogt provided, so they can be shipped to the Windows Store.

learn both and be awesome

My first hands-on machine learning using scikit-learn and tensorflow. If there is time in the end i would like to implement it into one of my existing projects by maybe processing some sensor data.

The incredible Neal Gompa has packaged Open Shift Origin (RH's core Docker + Kubernetes stack) for openSUSE

/media was a very comfortable thing standardized by FHS. After introduction of desktop based udisks mounts, the directory became empty. Paths like /run/media/me/directory or /run/user/1000/gvfs are used nowadays. When used from a terminal, it is very uncomfortable.

I use Qt for Python for the GUI and feedparser for dealing with the RSS feeds.

I have a broken disk - it has a broken head and I have a replacement disk with the head I want to transplant.

This involves customizing a tumbleweed image to configure cloud-init and adding other elements like docker, kubernetes, etcd, flannel which are required to get a kubernetes cluster running either using kiwi or disk image builder.

Problem

Somebody do something!

Planning to do some deep learning course sessions e.g. fastai , google ML crash course etc. Also try to understand common tools (tensorflow, jupyter notebook, numpy, pandas, pytorch) and practices e.g. Convoluation neutral nets, SGD used to solve learning problems.

A few months ago, I started thinking "it cannot be that hard to model my house using some CAD software". And of course I miserably failed.

The Fuji X series cameras are not well supported in libgphoto2 yet.

After playing around with Terraform, a wild idea appeared to write a plugin for SCC.

grub2-minimize-config

Replace the config-generating scripts to generate a minimalist grub2 config

What is Brine?

The goal of this project is to get an overview of the containers, Kubernetes and CaaSP.

I got a good textbook for learning Czech and I will be diving into it this week, focus on mainly in grammar and self-study, planning to use my "Welcome to SUSE" stickers to write down some interesting words in Czech and Spanish to fix better the vocabulary. Despite my survival Czech is ok to live in the country I am very curious to know better how is the internal machinery of this language so It will be beneficial for the future.

Since commit 556b535 windows can be switched in taskbar order using the mouse wheel. They taskbar buttons can also be rearranged with drag and drop.

Learn tinycc (tcc). Fix bugs, write features, etc. Hack on tcc.
