Improve our 3D printers

a project by lrupp

Currently we have two sponsored 3D printers available in the Nuremberg office. Both are located in a lab - which makes it hard to access them. Both also need some (hardware) maintenance. This (hopefully short) side project should make the printers more usable and accessible for others.

Increase "osc checkout" speed.

an idea by jsikes

Using osc I noticed that when checking out projects the project files are requested and loaded one at a time. My first order of business would be to combine the individual requests into one request.

Drawing in the software world/context and beyond

a project by dmaiocchi

This hackweek I will focus on improving my drawing/painting skills. I will do either some portrait for people I know at SUSE and this could be used as Github profiles or do something related to Linux/SUSE chameleon etc. ( without any precise goal).

Ceph as a ephemeral storage for containers

a project by denisok

The idea here is to study and understand how ephemeral storage for containers works and investigate if local storage could be avoided at all and Ceph used instead. Could new storage driver be developed to support Ceph storage:

a project by rdannert

  • implement a POC deploying CaaSP v4 on top of AWS using: Spotinst's elastigroup
  • "Spotinst Elastigroup predicts Spot Instances behavior, capacity trends, pricing, and interruptions rate. Whenever there’s a risk of interruption, Elastigroup acts accordingly to balance capacity up to 15 minutes ahead of time, ensuring application availability.

Automatic rotation film developer for analogue film

an idea by suntorytimed

I would like to build a rotating film developer like the old Ilford Cibachrome by using a stepper motor, Raspberry Pi Zero WH and some additional motor controls. For this a 3D printer might be useful to create some of the parts. All of the work should be open sourced, including the schematics.

openSUSE-release-tools for Homebrew (macOS support)

a project by suntorytimed

OSC is already available on Homebrew, but it is missing the integration with Staging as the openSUSE-release-tools are not available. In this Hackweek project I would like to get the openSUSE-release-tools running on macOS via Homebrew.

Fix order of use co-operation between vlc and camsource applications

a project by dmair

Using the camsource and vlc packages as an example. If camsource is configured to use a given dev/video[n] device with a choice of resolution in the width and height fields of a camsource conf file then if camsource is the first application to access the device captured images are as-expected. However, if an application like vlc is used for the same device (and exited) before starting camsource (e.g. to check the view from the camera before starting camsource) and if the camera supports higher resolutions than used in the camsource configuration what occurs is that camsource will not setup the camera to use the configured resolution and has a broken view of the camera output based on the vlc chosen resolution chopped to the camsource configuration. For example, with camsource configuration set to use 640x480 on a camera that supports 720x480 and vlc is used and exited before camsource is started then the captured camsource images contain two non-continuous partial image blocks with a horizontal border dividing them. I assume either vlc fails to fully reset the device configuration when exiting or camsource fails to initialize the device "from scratch" when starting. The two applications use different video device APIs but the setup and cleanup for the camera in each case is a very limited part of the application's functionality.

Advanced online payment app for desktop

an idea by MDoucha

There are mobile payment apps which allow you to pay via QR code. But I couldn't find any app that would work on desktop e.g. via special URI. So here's my idea: Create a universal URI scheme for payments that can launch a handler app (just like mailto: URIs can open your e-mail client). This app could then send wire transfer instructions to your bank account via public internet banking API (if your bank has one). The app would also have a server-side e-shop module for payment processing which would allow instant checkout (if you bank supports instant wire transfers to the e-shop's bank account).
