There are a couple of interesting initiatives that make the openSUSE project interesting for SMB, such as
The Invis Server
The Invis Server base on openSUSE is a server for SMB built on openSUSE. See the Invis Page for more information.
The maintainers are asking for help with all tasks listed on progess.opensuse.org
Kraft
Kraft is software to handle daily quotes and invoices in the small business. It is easy to use, protects privacy by running on the desktop and provides premium printout quality.
Kraft was recently released in version 0.81 which is the first bugfix release of Kraft running on the latest Qt version. Kraft is fully ported to Qt5/KF5 and integrates into modern desktops. It comes as AppImage and rpm package.
The project is seeking out for help in
- porting to MacOSX and maybe Windows (Qt5, C++, cross platform)
- providing a MacOSX address book integration. Kraft provides an abstracted address book interface that allows that easily.
- building an ownCloud-app to span across locations and use the private cloud as storage backend.
- documentation improvements
- providing mobile apps to display documents and catalogs

Port some classic game to Linux by MDoucha
Let's pick some old classic game, reverse engineer the data formats and game rules and write an open source engine for it from scratch. Some games from 1990s are simple enough that we could have a playable prototype by the end of the week.
Write which games you'd like to hack on in the comments. Don't forget to check e.g. on Open Source Game Clones, Github and SourceForge whether the game is ported already.
Hack Week 25 - TBD
It's time to pick a game for the upcoming Hack Week. Discuss in the comments what game you'd like to hack!
Hack Week 24 - Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares & Chaos Overlords
Work on Master of Orion II continues but we can hack more than one game. Chaos Overlords is a dystopian, lighthearted, cyberpunk turn-based strategy game originally released in 1996 for Windows 95 and Mac OS. The player takes on the role of a Chaos Overlord, attempting to control a city. Gameplay involves hiring mercenary gangs and deploying them on an 8-by-8 grid of city sectors to generate income, occupy sectors and take over the city.
How to ~~install & play~~ observe the decompilation progress:
- Clone the Git repository
- A playable reimplementation does not exist yet, but when it does, it will be linked in the repository mentioned above.
Further work needed:
- Analyze the remaining unknown data structures, most of which are related to the AI.
- Decompile the AI completely. The strong AI is part of the appeal of the game. It cannot be left out.
- Reimplement the game.
Hack Week 20, 21, 22 & 23 - Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares
Master of Orion II is one of the greatest turn-based 4X games of the 1990s. Explore the galaxy, colonize planets, research new technologies, fight space monsters and alien empires and in the end, become the ruler of the galaxy one way or another.
How to install & play:
- Clone the Git repository
- Run
./bootstrap; ./configure; make && make install
- Copy all *.LBX files from the original Master of Orion II to the installation data directory (
/usr/local/share/openorion2
by default) - Run
openorion2
Further work needed:
- Analyze the rest of the original savegame format and a few remaining data files.
- Implement most of the game. The open source engine currently supports only loading saved games from the original version and viewing the galaxy map, fleet management and list of known planets.
