Investigate on our virt setup. Some things we found with sle12 might no longer be true, new I/O schedulers exist, network setup might have room for speedups as well.

I thought it would be time to learn a new programming language. I decided to go with python, as it's an all-rounder and I have some basic knowledge on that. The idea is to go through the Flask how-to and from there on start to implement my own homepage. This will introduce me to Python and web development at the same time.

We had the idea of a event based, non blocking libzypp API. Would be nice to iron out the requirements and maybe do some prototyping to see if the idea makes sense. Event loop would be based on glib which would make it instantly compatible with at least GTK and Qt applications.

I have a RPi3 + touchscreen on my desk for some time. I'd like to play with Kodi + Mycroft to create some sort of OSS Alexa to connect to my bluetooth speaker. Goal would be to be able to play music via voice activation or using the touchscreen.

OBS is the goto tool for providing source packages not just for openSUSE but also for other distributions. The Wine team needs new package building methods, so I am planning to

Ansible is great for easily provisioning systems and whole clusters. Compared to Salt it may be slower, but on the other hand it doesn't have to install "minion-like" software on the hosts it operates on. My very-near-future plan is to create an Ansible playbook for fast-provisioning Ceph clusters and automatically running a series of functionality tests on them. Also, I can see Ansible playing an important role on my efforts for automating virtualization testing.

People do photos everywhere, and share them via social networks. some like it, some also really not. Social networks arouse suspicion to do face recognition on posted photos and that is the point where it really becomes scary.

minikubic minikube is a very helpful tool to set up and play around with a small Kubernetes cluster. By default it does use Ubuntu 16.04 as a base for its virtual machines.

When you make photos with devices that have a GPS on-board, the coordinates of the take are often included in the pciture meta data. Certain fruity viewers group pictures according to location (eg "Maxfeldstr. 5; 90409 Nürnberg" and date (eg "6. Juli 2018"). I'd like to write a (qt-based) picture viewer which does that.

I want to look into the possibilty to have pam module which gets its information via openchain.

Self Encryption Drive (SED) is used to achieve hardware based full disk encryption provided by hard disk drive vendors. The project is aiming to use openSUSE to build the package necessary to enable the device, notably a more intuitive way to build Preboot Authentication (PBA) Image and deploy it to unlock the device at boot time.

So far, ocfs2 has no tool for defragmentation. This project intends to write one. :smile:

Continue to get familiar with openQA components and workflow by performing virtualization host upgrade automation. Get first-hand impression on openQA's characteristics and weaknesses. Note down any findings that worth noticing.

purpose: a study project. motivation: I know a little of Python, but have no experience with

I will learn to create images for openQA SLE12SP4 Migration group during Hackweek 17.

This is a book about modern C++ programming. I mean, if you are a C++ programmer, you’re going to love all the code in this book. I will share the main ideas with my teammates. Thanks.

Continue the project from Hackweek 16 to read the book of source code analysis of docker.
