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.

Thinking about extending the typical Twitter app that let's a user bulk-delete their tweets (with a limit of 3200 each time).

Why is it nice?

Learn the inner workings of TCP as implemented in the Linux kernel. This will involve

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.

Problem description

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.

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.

Features I'd like to implement:

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.

The project aims to port openSUSE to the ROCKPro64.

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.

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?!

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 hackweek I will focus on improving my drawing/painting skills.

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:
