Goal: I'd like to have the release process defined in markdown/git and use it as a source for process creation in redmine.

You can encrypt your servers root filesystem, but need to provide a password during the boot process in order to "unlock" and start the system. This is easy if you have physical access to the server by entering it via keyboard. But if you do not have physical access it's not that easy. This project is about to set up a server that might be able to have an encryted root filesystem which can be "unlocked" by entering the password via ssh.

The ESP8266 is a low-cost WI-Fi microchip with full TCP/IP stack and microcontroller capability. I want to explore the features and (in case of success) attach a BME280 to get temperature, humidity and barometric pressure information streamed over WI-Fi. As the price of both components is just around 10 EUR, this would be a nice add-on for my weather station at home...

Research on BI tools to crawl eg. SCC data. This is an internal project, tracked at SUSE Confluence.

Acronyms are fun. Everyone at SUSE loves them. Just sometimes… you might not know what one stands for.

For a very long time, I have been planning to play with Crystal as possible substitute/complement for Ruby. With that goal, I have isolated a very small subset of the Ruby project I know the best (yast-storage-ng) and I want to migrate that subset to Crystal to get a general feeling about the language. See the repository with the experiment already in progress. There is no evil plan to migrate YaST to Crystal. This is just done in the Hack Week spirit of "what if". But if more people join maybe we could get this to an state in which some benchmarks can be executed to check what's the real gain in speed and memory consumption using Crystal instead of Ruby (note: speed and memory are not the only goals of the migration).
