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. Over the week, I want to

Sorbet is a gradual type checker for Ruby. Ruby is a dynamic language, which is great for reducing overhead for small

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

Why?

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] To be more useful, I want to rewrite the old code to properly support STL format. I attempted this once, but had trouble with the normals and getting the lines to connect correctly. So a rewrite would be good.

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. We've made progress on getting many missing Python dependencies into Tumbleweed already; remaining ones including claripy and angr itself.

The Goal is... to connect all the sources of information from our houses to the lighting system to produce a dynamic home environment where information is streamed to the users through a noninvasive and disrupted channel and, this way, avoiding a chain of human micro mental interruptions, like the ones that we have during all day produced by the mobile apps notifications and/or wall panels sounds or blinks and that causes anxiety, stress, and human disconnection.

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. Checks I have in mind for instance are:

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 PaaS has made deployment of applications very easy. Kubernetes has made deployment of applications very flexible but not easy. There are efforts to add the "easy" part to Kubernetes. That would make Kubernetes a good alternative to PaaS. With so many public cloud Kubernetes offerings nowadays, it would be nice if one could simply pick up their preferred cloud and have an app running in minutes. This HackWeek project will be and exploration of the available tools that can make Kubernetes as friendly as a PaaS for deployment but also how much Kubernetes can help development.

What is ResourceSpace https://www.resourcespace.com/

This can be seen as a subproject of ethtool netlink interface but from the technical view it's independent. Every new piece of software is going to be buggy and with frequent changes and rewrites, new regressions are introduced. Automated selftests can help a lot but as ethtool deals with hardware devices, we do not want these tests to depend on a specific hardware. The netdevsim driver was created as a virtual device which (unlike e.g. dummy) cannot be used for actual network traffic but implements various configuration interfaces so that it can be used for their (automated) testing.

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): https://confluence.suse.com/display/openqa/QAM

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: 1. Is a software mentioned in a bug or security issue relevant in incident management (Tagging as Not for us)?
