Salt is moving towards a plugable architecture using POP and Idem. This project is about experimenting with those new concepts by applying them to a real life case: the virt execution and state modules. The goals of this project are:

Thinking about extending the typical Twitter app that let's a user bulk-delete their tweets (with a limit of 3200 each time). The main extension is to allow subscribers to this service to add a hashtag to their tweets that will put a time-to-delete

Why is it nice?

Learn the inner workings of TCP as implemented in the Linux kernel. This will involve * reading textbooks and IETF docs

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:

Problem description Jira is used inside SUSE to track various process/workflows.

This is kinda continuation of my last hackweek project - learning python3 the parcical way. The goal is again to replace existing bash script which will generate 3 node KVM HA cluster on my workstation and automate quite a boring part of HA regression testing.

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:

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. The collected metrics can then be visualized with Grafana. Currently there are two problems with filtra:

Features I'd like to implement: * Built in search on obs, with one-click branch checkout,

I own a 3D printer / Anet AM8 / and after 1,5y its time to upgrade the electronics, mainly the stock motherboard and get it ready for multi-color printing. Also the time has come where I would like to not only download 3D models from thingiverse but also create or customize the models for my usage. Plan is to:

The project aims to port openSUSE to the ROCKPro64. The ROCKPro64 is the most powerful Single Board Computer released by Pine64. It is powered by a Rockchip RK3399 Hexa-Core (dual ARM Cortex A72 and quad ARM Cortex A53) 64-Bit Processor with a MALI T-860 Quad-Core GPU.

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.

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!

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.

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).

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:
