Investigate debuginfod & cores from SLESa project by alnovak It's not always straightforward to open a core dump originating from customer's environment, since there's a wide variety of versions of all the binaries involved - usual workflow is to install a VM with the SP that the customer is using, enable debuginfo repositories and then follow the buildid hints that gdb is providing. However this sounds like a bit of an overkill. Lately, there has been a debuginfod project announced: |

SUSE Manager Cluster Extension (PoC)a project by bmaryniuk Since SUSE Manager doesn't scale out and stacking it into another pyramid of susemanagers won't help here, the real architectural changes needs to be done to achieve true scale-out of this product. This hackweek project is about how to Turn SUSE Manager into a cluster. Areas to be tackled: |
Polish filtra and move data collection to Postresqla project by jochenbreuer Last hackweek filtra was created – a tool to extract information like lead and cycle times from Github repos for (but not limited to) projects that are doing Kanban.

"Physical" notifications with Raspberry Pi and addressable LEDsa project by dannysauer I'd like a way to have a device on my desk which lights up to indicate that I have something I should be paying attention to. Initially, I'd like this to be for Office365 calendar events and GitHub mentions, but ideally it should support arbitrary messages. The plan is to assign specific colors (ideally "patterns" consisting of a sequence of colors and time) to specific message types. I have a handful of raspberry Pi Zeroes, a couple of OLEDs, a strand of individually-addressable RGB LEDs, a power supply, and some misc electronics (like the 3.3-5v logic level shifter necessary for the 5v LED strand). I'm thinking Python is probably the way to go for the software. I'm hoping OpenSUSE actually works on the Pi zero. :D If not, there's an ESP32 with a built-in display and a few Pi 3s laying around barely used, maybe one of them will work. |
Hammer an Envoy service mesh onto a SAP S4/HANA landscape and watch everything explode.a project by STorresi Although CNCF projects are almost exclusively related to Linux containers, some ideas, like wrapping all the services into network proxies to create a distributed data-plane and enable true observability, could perhaps be explored for some kind of backport in complex legacy distributed systems, like... say... S4/HANA?! I don't even know if this is feasible, but trying won't hurt... just stand at a safe distance from the cluster! |
Learn more about Kubernetes clusters and SAP Datahuban idea by dakechi SAP Datahub is the new SAP product entirely based on containers and Kubernetes orchestrations. This project is to learn more about both K8s and Datahub, how they work together, potentials, and how this product fits into existing SAP landscapes. |
Improve our 3D printersa 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. |

Automatic rotation film developer for analogue filman 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 applicationsa 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 desktopan 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:

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. |
coreboot on Thinkpad Tx40pan idea by persmule Flash and optimize coreboot to t440p and port coreboot to t540p. |
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. |

ocfs2: use iomapan idea by goldwynr iomap is a way to map file blocks to the device. Many filesystems such as xfs, ext4 or gfs2, use this common code to perform buffered and direct I/O. The advantage would be smaller codebase in individual filesystem code (ocfs2), lesser defects and better maintainability. |
HelenOS: <filesystem> of a downa project by jjindrak During the previous Hackweek [0], I have successfully implemented, tested and merged [1] an implementation of the entire C++ standard header <future>. This time, my aim is to modernize the C++14-esque standard library [2] of HelenOS [3][4] with a C++17 feature - the <filesystem> header. The <filesystem> header is much larger than the <future> header which I barely managed to implement and test in the allocated time for the previous Hackweek, but <future> was mostly OS-independent as it relied only on previously implemented features of the standard library. The <filesystem> header, however, is limited by the filesystem API of the OS and as such implementing of the entirety of it might not be possible, limiting the scope of the project (which is a good thing due to the time constraints). The primary features of the header [5] that should be implemented: |
labgrid: add support for sispmctl and remote ykush accessa project by mbrugger labgrid [0] is an embedded board control python library with a focus on testing, development and general automation.
