The goal of this project is to get an overview of the state-of-the-art technology on training and deploying machine learning projects with kubernetes and apply that to a SUSE CaaSP cluster.

Update: Ruqola ('zypper in ruqola') is now in Tumbleweed and Leap 15.2!

I want to learn more about robotics. The goal is to have a small robot at the end of the week.

SUSE Manager uses an ivy repository on the R&D network to get the packaged jar to build against. To remove the manual maintenance of that repository and allow external contributors to hack the Java code of Uyuni / SUSE Manager we need to provide an Ivy plugin that gets the jars directly from OBS.

I have previously implemented a major portion of the C++ standard library for HelenOS [0][1][2] as part of my master thesis. In this project, I will be adding

I plan to work on libgphoto2 Lumix WiFi support.

The Parrot seems to have many fans meanwhile, in particular since we're running Rocket.chat at SUSE. Some may find these emoticons distracting, some find it just cool and I would certainly love to see something like the Partyparrot but as a "SUSE parrot", probably someone manages to make the SUSE Geeko move in a similar fashion, as party_geeko. Finally I'd love to see this uploaded to the cultofthepartyparrot.com under "Party Guests". Because clearly the Geeko insists! :-)

The idea is to look at some technologies:

Use mouse to select a word on the screen, popup a small icon, click icon, then show a window to display word online translation result.

motivation

Many people ask how to start with openQA, ask "can you run these two lines in bash in an openQA" test and some shun the effort to try out openQA because it is "too big".

We are running the geekos app at geekos.prv.suse.net since some time now in the SCC CaaSP cluster. The goal we have is to bring this to production in the CaaSP cluster maintained by the engineering infrastructure team.

Description

LanguageTool is a style and grammar checker for 25+ languages https://languagetool.org

Given that free time is always a scarce resource, I'd like to use the hack week to work on v2.0 for OTPClient

During the previous Hackweek I did a workshop in a Montessori school. This time I would like the same but with focusing on Robotics.

I would like to convert a very cheap foam toy plane into a radio control plane

In order to see the SPD (detailed memory information) data, the user currently has to manually load the needed kernel driver. Which driver to load depends on the memory type. Depending on the driver user, the devices may even have to be instantiated manually and this is a non-trivial multi-step task. Plus you need to be root to do it.

Produce a ~3 min demoscene using modern javascript libraries combining graphics with original music.

The youngest architecture addition to the mainline Linux kernel was C-Sky (arch/csky/).

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:

Few weeks ago whilst analyzing the possibility of using Terraform[1] via terraform-libvirt [2] plugin, I came across Terratest [3], which is an automated testing framework.

Learn Rust by following The Rust Programming Language book.

So far the style (color, shape, ...) of the devicegraph output of libstorage-ng is hard-coded. The user of the library should somehow be able to customize the style.

Following the work started in the last hackweek, Improve OBS service scripts, I will try to migrate current service script for workers to systemd unit, and at the same time, try to get rid of the sysv code.

Create a sound board that has the following requirements:

The idea is to have a friendly way to access live cluster's nodes, compare outputs of simple commands and find out differences in tables data / structure.

When all of the SUSE Manager squads switched from SCRUM to a Kanban we lost estimations and therefore also the ability to do predictions. But there are other ways to get insights that are even more reliable, since they are based on anecdotal data. The lead and cycle times of issues are the two most important here.

Create a new generic CUPS wrapper backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/monitor that runs in parallel with the actual backend to monitor it.

Following trademark and licensing issues with Grafana, explore the possibility of debranding Grafana and use that in SUSE Manager (and maybe others)

At SUSE Manager and Uyuni we use right now a set of bash scripts called sumaform-test-runner to run terraform and cucumber, send notifications and store cucumber results.

We've (mostly @cbruckmayer) put a significant amount of time into our performance measurement dashboards based on influx/grafana. I want to share this with the world because it's most awesome and easy to use. It's also nice if people don't go to some PaaS provider just for this...

Currently, the SUMA test-suite takes about 6 hours to complete, often fails in the first tests, which set up the environment for the rest of the tests, those tests are what we named "core features".

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, ...)
