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.

Terratest playground

an invention by szarate

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. My initial thoughts have been written here [4] but I'd still like to check out Terratest in more detail.

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. 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. I'd like to extract those two for all of the issue from the spacewalk project and explore how they can be visualized in meaning- and helpful ways.

From bare metal to virtualized Kubernetes cluster with just Salt and Redfish

a project by joachimwerner

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): * mount the installation media via Redfish

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. 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. https://github.com/openSUSE/libpathrs

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.

Evaluate onedrive as a backup target for my laptop

an idea by fcrozat

Due to office move and separation from MF in Paris office, I don't have backup solution for my work laptop anymore. Since Office365 provides 1TB of space, it might be a good location to store backup of my work laptop.

Phylogen: an iterative approach to evolutionary tree analysis

a project by dmulder

https://github.com/dmulder/phylogen As part of a graduate project I created the phylogen script, which combines the ASTRAL and IQTREE analysis tools into one iterative approach to finding the highest bootstrap score tree for various species of Mayflies. At the completion of the project, there was some work left undone, and I had a few ideas on how to improve the average bootstrap score of the final tree.
