Investigate and setup internal survey systema project by rsimai 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. I want us to investigate and find (or found!) an Open Source project that allows to easily collect (internal) surveys. |

Learn python by building a homepage with Flaskan idea by mbrugger 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. |
SLE-15 virtualization server tuning - make it fasteran idea by oertel 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. |
git-based mail clientan 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). |
KDevelop plugin for showing information inline in the codea project by michalsrb 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. Examples include showing names of function parameters at call site, elided types of variables (e.g. C++ auto, lambda parameters), comments next to closing brackets etc. |
Learn Android developmentan idea by mvetter Over the years I have stumbled upon various Android projects where I needed a feature and wasn't able to implement it because I had no idea about Android development. Downloading an SDK by hand and setting it up one time on a computer always seemed like a waste of time to me. I prefer writing a package once or writing config files ones and then can use them everywhere later. This put me off for quite a while. |
SUSE Quiet (This year's Hackweek band)an invention by jctmichel SUSE Quiet is an acoustic version of SUSE Loud, the former SUSE Band from Maxtorhof. We will be making our debut on Thursday evening at the Hackweek Party. |
Bring /media directory backa project by sbrabec /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. As mounts are private to users, the old style of /media use cannot be returned back. But with a kernel namespaces feature, it is possible to make private mounts, and each user can see a different contents of /media. |
Storage War Gamesa project by jluis 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. Eventually, we settled with keeping the name and changing the scope. |

OCFS2 optimization on hybrid storage investigationan idea by ganghe Nowadays, SSD (fast hard disk) is very popular, but still expensive. Some users want to use some SSD hard disks and some common hard disks to set up a hybrid storage infrastructure, in this case, how does OCFS2 file system utilize these SSD hard disks effectively? so far, we have not any particular optimization, OCFS2 considers these hard disks as one kind of hard disk. So, I want to investigate what we can do in improving OCFS2 under a hybrid storage infrastructure, let OCFS2 be able to aware fast hard disks, and use them more effectively. |
git snitcha project by zhangxiaofei 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. So I wish to get mail notifications when new commits with certain keywords (e.g. SIG, {crash, hang}{s, ing, ed}, leak(age), CVE-, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=*, etc, etc) come in. |

Effort planning in large-scale agile projects with multiple stakeholdersa project by rtsvetkov Effort planning in large-scale agile projects with multiple stakeholders The analysis and selection of requirements are important parts of any release planning process. Most practices focuse on release planning based on plan-driven optimization models. Nevertheless, solving the release planning problem mechanistically is difficult in an agile development context with multiple stakeholders. |
Explore replacements for genksyms/modversions for kabi checksa project by Jessica Yu 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. |

distributed card games, a.k.a. mental pokeran invention by AndreasStieger Mental poker is a principle and also specific protocol to play card games without a single trusted party. This includes shuffling cards, enforcing card visibility and commitment schemes. Imagine playing rock-paper-scissors via phone only. libTMCG is an implementation of the protocol and SecureSkat is an application of this protocol/library to the popular German card game Skat. |
