The idea is about an easy way to allow users to make upgrades (e.g.: changing from one major version like 15.0 to version 15.1) using a GUI and as easy as they can in Ubuntu.

New Development

Make a final attempt to implement a graphical user interface for grub2 (gfxboot2).

This is the tool I've been working on since HW11 and it needs more work. Actually, there's always something which could be done on it. It is basically an x86 instruction decoder with special emphasis on the kernel and decoding interesting pieces of it in order to help in the development of low-level patching techniques, among others.

We already tried to improve the Jangouts data model in the past and, although we made quite some progress, we did not finish it. I've been playing a bit with React and Redux lately, and I would like now to try a different approach replacing Angular with that combo. Using Vue.js might be another option too.

Description

It can boot up from udisk/floppy.

PXEAT (stand for PXE Administration Tool) is a tool to easily deploy and manage PXE service.

Let's make reposync faster

RPMlint upstream milestone 2.0 is shaping up but there are still ticket that needs to be tackled to finalize the release and enjoy the freshness of awesome QA on Tumbleweed/SLE16.

I've attempted this several times already and each attempt had different shortcomings. I'm kind of curious about how exactly will I fail this time.

RISC-V is an open ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) based on RISC architecture. It's originated from UC Berkeley and it's attracting more attention in recent years because of its full open architecture so every developer has opportunities to get involved in application processor design or apply it into different applications, such as IoT, Robotics, ... etc.

The goal of this project is two fold.

The idea is to explore the technologies and the various components to realize some AI to predict pitfalls in source code which can potentially generate run-time misbehaviours.

The experience while navigating throughout the UI of Suse Manager it's not that nice. Whenever we navigate to a new page, the whole page gets refreshed and recreated, even when half of it didn't change a thing, for instance, the menu, topbar, and the notifications WebSocket connection, which in my opinion doesn't provide a smooth experience.

There are various email synchronization programs like offlineimap or mbsync, which have some inherent limitations:

There seems to be an overall consensus that the ioctl interface used by ethtool is a poor design as it's inflexible, error prone and notoriously hard to extend. It should clearly be replaced by netlink and obsoleted. Unfortunately not much actual work has been done in that direction until this project started.

Mottainai - Task/Job/Build Server for everyone!

Out of nowhere the idea came up to organize a rum tasting session on one of the HackWeek evenings.

To ease debugging cgroup relates issues this suggests to:

I have noticed that explaining HA cluster concepts to non technical people is not easy (my parents for example hehe). In order to improve that I would like to create a more visual project using raspberry pi-s.

During the last year Askbot, a question and answer oriented internet tool, similar to stack overflow has been tested for internal usage.

At SUSE we've implemented a module on Salt called ansiblegate which allows to run and manage your Ansible clusters using Salt.

Metal³ is the idea to support a declarative bare metal cluster management for Kubernates by employing a simplified stand alone version of Ironic.

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

Hackweek 18 Update

It's been a little while since I last needed to do some binary reverse engineering, so I want to up my game.

The salt-toaster (https://github.com/openSUSE/salt-toaster) is a tool created and developed by SUSE employees that we've been using for testing Salt since few years ago.

Pi Security

We kinda need more flexible PXE in Prague office, UEFI would also not hurt - so lets check what we can do to make it better.

The idea is simple - I want to learn Python :) My previous knowledge about Python is small. Only few tutorials and some initial readings of below mentioned books to get an overview.

Description

I want to get an openSUSE based image working on Samsung DEX:

Minnowboard is the platform for UEFI development and supports UEFI capsule update since 0.99, and we are supposed to be able to test the feature with fwupd. However, there is no capsule file in fwupd.org or the official firmware download site. Besides, the Minnowboard firmware source in the current edk2/edk2-platforms git couldn't build due to the recent change of directories. My goal is to rebase the Minnowboard build system to the current git master and create a working up-to-date firmware. Signing the firmware properly would be a plus so that we can apply a private repo in fwupd.org for the development or QA testing.
