I've been doing a terrible job of maintaining GNU Stow the last year, and there's quite a backlog of bugs, feature requests, support requests etc. So it's a good time to catch up on these.

Check if it is possible to create a python application to aid autofocus micro adjustment on a DSLR. There are some commercial applications that are capable of that, such as Reikan FoCal (https://www.reikanfocal.com).

Inspired by a conference talk I've attended a while ago (and my own struggles when trying to create something pretty basic just recently) I want to learn more about SVGs in general and their powers for modern web development in particular.

Sorbet is a gradual type checker for Ruby.

Milkytracker is a free software multi-platform music tracker for composing music in the MOD and XM module file formats.

A few years ago I wrote the "worst 3D Printer". Basically, it takes a 3D model (VRML) and slices it to bitmaps, which can be arranged on paper and printed, then manually cut out and glued together. As you can imagine, just doing a small print could take 500 layers, so it could take a day to assemble (hence "worst"). [1]

Brewtarget is an open source brewing software, similar to the commercial product BeerSmith. For hackweek I'd like to investigate the capabilities of Brewtarget and perhaps add some features/improvements for my use case.

Following a FOSDEM presentation on Angr for binary analysis, I started packaging it in OBS.

The Goal is...

Well the see of openSUSE Infrastructure has been unrest and need our attention. I would like to invite you for this cruise trip.

...because openQA isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I want to be able to create some 3D printing models for 3D printers. So starting to search for a good introduction and try it out...

The monitoring in our internal infrastructure needs some love and attention. I want to spent some time during this hack week on the monitoring by fixing old checks, implementing new checks and making sure that those are configured and installed via configuration management.

Stream Radio device - It is built with Raspberry Pi Zero WH

Goal is to implement a rados backend in drivers/nvme/target. That will allow the NVMe target implementation to directly access Rados objects (ie export RADOS objects as namespaces), allowing third-party applications and/or OS to use NVMe-over-Fabrics to access a ceph cluster.

or how to replace git push heroku master and cf push with Kubernetes

What is ResourceSpace

This can be seen as a subproject of ethtool netlink interface but from the technical view it's independent.

As the automation became a standard within Maintenance QA work, I would like to became more familiar with the whole magic behind. Plan is to go through internal docu a try to setup openQA and write some simple tests (and adjust the docu once there are any gaps):

This is my attempt to catch up on the field of machine learning. In order to not "waste" time of exercising with dummy data the Security team came up with a couple of interesting questions:

I use my Raspberry Pi 3B as a router. I have seen this crash:

The day has come to finally merge more and more apps into one single place, and this time it shall be externaltools.

Since quite a while I'm interested in learning the programming language golang. I want to use the time to get a basic understanding and maybe realize a small project with the gained knowledge.

QDirStat in General

Learn Go language by through The Go Programming Language book.

This is a side project I started a while ago. The idea is to implement a tagging engine with some "advanced" features for the Django web framework (in what Django calls a "reusable app").

People are interested in Linux on Windows via WSL, especially given the new fully virtualized Linux kernel in WSL 2. It's interesting to know whether registered SUSE installations might be running in WSL as opposed to other Microsoft virtualization platforms, but the current approach taken by SUSEConnect (the client for SUSE Customer Center) does not permit this.

In the other day, there were questions about to migrate high availability solution into OpenStack.

Short-term:

1. Understanding of docker knowledge

The goal of this project is to create video tutorial describing configuration of SUSE Manager for Retail.

The plan is to implement a safe path resolution library for Linux to avoid the plentiful numbers of security vulnerabilities that have been seen in the wild related to path resolution race conditions and various other attacks. I've been working on kernel-space solutions but even if they were merged, it is difficult to use them safely directly. So this library intends to provide simple wrappers that everyone can use.

My music manager, Bard, was improved in the last hackweek with a very simple React-based web interface but I didn't like the result at all (basically, after learning React I noticed I didn't like it and all the dependencies and the complexity it added) so since then, I've reimplemented the web interface using just jQuery. Also, in the last months I've added musicbrainz data structures to the database (which was also ported to use Postgresql) to prepare bard to use MusicBrainz's data. I also stopped using other python libraries to read audio files and use the ffmpeg libraries directly instead with a c++ wrapper implemented inside Bard which is much much faster.

Currently it's pretty difficult to create tests for some specific package. So something like TravisCI for OBS would be good.

My goal is build on Alberto's work on "yomi" and the new Salt-based virtualization management features that Cedric has contributed, then combine them with a Redfish prototype to do the following from one (ideally idempotent) Salt state (orchestration state if required):

This is a task to update current WSL-Launcher (which can be already buildt in OBS) with latest-greatest upstream code https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL-DistroLauncher

Having done only very little with openQA in the past I would like to learn more about it. I would like to start writing a test suite for profanity.
