Package odpdown a project by jgrassler I have been known to talk anybody I held presentations with into using odpdown. That was always a little awkward, since it started off with `pip install odpdown`, rather than `zypper install odpdown`. I want to fix this awkwardness and package `odpdown` properly so it can be installed as a RPM package. I'll also include the auxiliary infrastructure I've added around it over the years (various Makefiles and scripts for generating transcripts from comments) to the package so others can benefit from that stuff, too.

Rewrite makedumpfile using libkdumpfile as backend a project by ptesarik 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. Updated over 4 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
Simulating Tape Drives via tcmu-runner a project by lee_duncan 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. It would be nice to take away the kernel component, so that it's easier to compile and use this package, since the current mhvtl kernel driver has not been merged upstream so has to be supplied as a KMP. [And KMPs are evil.] Updated about 5 years ago. No love.

[unassigned] improve new openSUSE image writer an idea by lnussel In order to aid loading openSUSE installation and Live images on USB sticks we have a little GUI program called imagewriter. It's a bit dated so Fabian started a newer one with better UI suitable for touch screen that offers the available images on demand, store images offline for conferences and fairs etc: https://github.com/openSUSE/imagewriter2 It's written in C++ with Qt and still needs some work to be production ready: Updated over 1 year ago. 6 hacker ♥️.

Path clustering for multipathd an idea by mwilck Recent multipath-tools contains a patch series that allows latency-based path prioritization. However the code is clumsy and not well designed. More importantly, I think that the applied algorithm, which is based on simple methods like comparing averages and standard deviations, is suboptimal. I consider replacing it with a clustering-based approach, using the open source cluster library. Updated over 3 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Use avahi for mdns queries in hplip an idea by mwilck The HPLIP package contains a custom implementation of mDNS queries (actually, 2: one in the core C code and one in python for the administration tools). This implementation is simplistic and sub-optimal. I fixed a problem of this implementation in the past, but unfortunately my patches don't apply on the latest HPLIP releases, and aren't easily forward-ported. The Right Thing to do for mDNS on Linux use use avahi calls. I want to look into using avahi for this purpose in HPLIP. Updated about 5 years ago. No love. Has no hacker: grab it!
git-based mail client an idea by KGronlund I want to create a more modern mail storage format, which leverages git and tagging instead of folders to manage my mail. This is inspired by having used notmuch and mbsync for a long time, liking the good aspects of this setup but getting frustrated with the problems. Mainly the issue of storing mail on multiple computers with eventual consistency (for example being able to read mail on my laptop when travelling but my desktop computer when at home).
