dmidecode: no more open-coded printfsa project by jdelvare There's a long standing request to extend the output of dmidecode to something that would be machine-readable. Something like an XML or JSON-based format. Unfortunately this can't be implemented right now because the output of dmidecode is generated by open-coded printfs as the DMI table is being parsed, with no intermediate structures nor temporary buffers. While implementing a machine-parseable output is out of scope for a single hack week, let's remember that even the longest journey starts with a single footstep. I would like to try and rewrite the 5200 lines of code of dmidecode in such a way that printing the output would be somewhat separated from parsing the DMI table and done by a limited set of dedicated functions. Alternative output formats could later hook into such functions. |

Btrfs OSD for Lustrean idea by jeff_mahoney Modern Lustre supports compelling features like snapshots but it requires OSDs to use ZFS in order to implement it. Since ZFS and Linux licensing is incompatible, it's not really a supportable solution. This project has an aim to implement Lustre OSDs using Btrfs underneath them, leveraging the btrfs feature set to enable the features that ZFS-based OSDs provide now in a supportable way. |
openSUSE for Androida project by adrianSuSE Termux is already bringing a terminal and debian package manager to Android. Let's see if we can reuse it and provide a base system with zypper and build openSUSE:Factory for it in OBS. |
Focus Friendly Desktop Adaptationsa project by wstephenson BackgroundGiven the number of different demands on our time and attention, it becomes increasing hard to focus and find the 'flow state' where a developer can be most productive. Interruptions due to chat notifications, email, and updater applets all break focus. Additionally, the desktop metaphor has in most cases failed to evolve as the browser and other MDI interfaces have become the focus for many users, and increased performance has allowed us to keep more tasks running and present on the desktop at once, presenting a higher cognitive load to the user. |

Floppy disk controller/drive emulatoran idea by jmoellers I am into retro-computing and one of my treasures is an SB180FX microcomputer: an HD64180 CPU running at blazing 9.something MHz and having a whopping 512kB RAM! The "machine" has an NCR5380 SCSI host-adapter and a 9266 FDC which supports up to 4 floppy drives. |

Migration of Pology to Python3an idea by vpelcak Pology is a Python library and collection of command-line tools for in-depth processing of PO files, the translation file format of the GNU Gettext software translation system. Pology functionality ranges from precision operations on individual PO messages, to cross-file operations on large collections of PO files. |
