Write "advanced" tagging engine for Django a project by gniebler This is a side project I started a while ago.

Differentiate Microsoft virtualization types (WSL1/WSL2/Azure/Hyper-V) in SUSEConnect a project by wstephenson 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. By inspecting the contents of /proc/, it is possible to tell these platforms apart. This project aims to enhance SUSEConnect to do so. Updated almost 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.
HA inside OpenStack VM ( SLE12SP3 code stream ) a project by zzhou In the other day, there were questions about to migrate high availability solution into OpenStack.

mailprocessing performance improvements an invention by jgrassler I maintain the mailprocessing utility, a Turing complete maildir and IMAP capable filter with rules written in Python, both upstream and in openSUSE. It is currently suffering from some performance problems I'll devote my Hackweek (or part of it) to improving. Most notably the following areas will need some attention: * Ability to deal with large inboxes. This one is already done and I have been using it myself for a while but not released, yet. If you urgently need it feel free to grab it from the `master` branch. I'll give it another once-over before release, but it should be fine. Updated almost 5 years ago. No love. 1 follower.

SUSE Manager for Retail Instructional Video Tutorial a project by lkotek The goal of this project is to create video tutorial describing configuration of SUSE Manager for Retail.

libpathrs a project by cyphar 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.

Simplify implementations of lockless printk ring buffer an invention by pmladek There are attempts to solve some kernel deadlock with using lockless printk ringbuffer. The proposed implementation is pretty complex (6 stages, 6 write and 6 read barriers, two buffers, entries linked via list, ...) I have a idea how to make it easier with tracking the state and sequence number in one atomic variable. It might allow to remove the lists and many barriers. It is possible that it will just not work. Let's see. Updated about 4 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.
Integrate Bard with MusicBrainz and implement a proper web interface a project by alarrosa 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. In this hackweek I'll try to finish the integration of Bard with MusicBrainz (basically, import the needed MB data to the database) and use it to generate a web interface that shows and uses that information to organize music. This would allow to show information and for example perform searches for songs not only on the main artist but also on performers or even mixer (see for an example all information available on this Queen album) Updated almost 5 years ago.

Extract lead and cycle times from Github an invention by jochenbreuer When all of the SUSE Manager squads switched from SCRUM to a Kanban we lost estimations and therefore also the ability to do predictions.
