Machine Learning Trainingan idea by johnvickyy Intellipaat offers Machine learning training that mainly focuses on key modules such as Python, Algorithms, Statistics & Probability, Supervised & Unsupervised Learning, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Linear & Logistic regression, etc. Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it learn for themselves.Machine Learning, as the name suggests, provides machines with the ability to learn autonomously based on experiences, observations and analysing patterns within a given data set without explicitly programming.

Investigate whether Kimchi server works on SLESan idea by waynechen55 Kimchi is an HTML5 based management tool for KVM. It is designed to make it as easy as possible to get started with KVM and create your first guest. Kimchi manages KVM guests through libvirt. The management interface is accessed over the web using a browser that supports HTML5. Its installation and configuration does not adapt to work very well with SLES, although it fully supports openSUSE Leap. |

Virtualization CI/Testing Worka project by bfrogers There are a number of items related to doing Virtualization CI and testing which I have a hard time getting to during my day job. I'll take Hackweek as an opportunity to get at least a little out of my normal space and improve our methods. This mainly focuses on QEMU/KVM and some of the efforts and infrastructure I've already got in various states of development, or at least investigation. Part of this effort is to try to leverage what is available in this space upstream, and to focus on watching the state of CI as it exists upstream, not just in our shipping products. |

Embellishment of Solid Ground's Web User Interface (WUI) via Bootstrap v4a project by vstsironis Solid Ground[1] is a powerful software tool, essential for the daily tasks of an L3 agent. Built upon Django framework[2], it greatly simplifies the storing and management of the needed information for orchestrating the various, tedious and sometimes quite complicated actions (steps) of the L3 process[3]. And although Solid Ground is significantly benefited by the utilization of Django's ORM (and other components such as Rest, views, etc.) and has very strong command line interfaces (l3t and Django admin's shell), it lacks a modern, user friendly, clean and with nice user experience (i.e. engaging) WUI! The purpose of the current project is to leverage Bootstrap - the world’s most popular framework for building responsive, mobile-first sites[4] - in order to enhance Solid Ground's WUI without disrupting its operational capability! In other words to apply a cleaner, more engaging look and feel that will not break Solid Ground's functions. |

It's provided via the Public Cloud Module in SLE as well as in the Cloud:Tools repo. As more and more people are asking about information on the images we've published but not all of them feel comfortable using tools on the command line we like to provide a web UI which shows that data. One should be able to search for specific images, sort by regions or state etc. |

Graphics support for SGI Octanea project by tsbogend With the approach of kernel 5.6 SGI Octanes are supported with builtin IO components. What's missing for a graphics workstation is a driver for the graphics card. There is already a not upstreamed framebuffer driver for Impact graphic cards. Since there will be no new framebuffer driver accepted upstream, the goal of this project is to convert the existing frame buffer driver to a DRM driver and make it ready to be sent upstream. |

CephFS client for Android using the Linux Kernel Library and Wireguarda project by dmdiss CephFS is awesome, but without a VPN it's not safe to be routed over the internet, and it lacks client support on many platforms. The Linux Kernel Library allows for the linux kernel to be built as a cross-platform user-space library and integrated into a regular Android, Windows, macOS, etc. application. This project combines CephFS, LKL and wireguard, and sprinkles some io-uring on top. My objectives are: |

CaaSP in CaaSPa project by pchacin Summary Using K8s for managing VMs is a requirement in many environments, as not all applications are designed to be cloud-ready. Some projects like Kubevirt[1] and Virlet [2] aim to address this requirement. However, they introduce their own complexity, creating a parallel control plane for VMs. RancherVM [3] has a different approach, launching VMs as pods, but requires custom-built images. |

Play with Go and RLa project by EDiGiacinto I would like to learn and play with RL/ML and Go ( gorgonia for example). The lack of Reinforcement Learning library in Golang makes me very sad, so I wanted to implement a RL algorithm and alongside create a small library for RL and go in general. On the other hand, I would like also to expand and add features on a project that I'm working on: https://github.com/mudler/luet . It's a package manager based on containers, focused on cloud/OTA-alike update delivery. It would be nice to combine the two ideas, for e.g. to achieve one feature. |

Install LTSP server in a Docker containeran idea by michael-chang The LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) helps in netbooting LAN clients from a single template installation that resides in a virtual machine image or a chroot on the LTSP server, or the server root (/, chrootless). This way maintaining tens or hundreds of diskless clients is as easy as maintaining a single PC. The objective is to learn and setup LTSP server/service via our KIWI-ltsp and look a bit into container technology to have the process automated in a (presumably) docker container. That will help a lot in migrating the LTSP server to a different PC or creating new instance almost effortlessly. |

make "predictable network interface names" more predictablean idea by mkubecek Since the so-called "predictable names" for network interfaces were introduced, the concept and mainly its implementation has been a target of a lot of critique and sometimes even hate. On the other hand, similar idea works reasonably well for block devices. In my opinion, the main reason why "predictable names" reception was not nearly as good as for block devices is the difference in how the implementation works. For block devices, the device name provided by kernel is preserved and other names based on multiple naming schemes (by path, by UUID, by various device identifiers) are created as symlinks so that all of them (including the original kernel one) can be used simultaneously. On the other hand, network interface has only one name and as it is not represented by a file, symlinks cannot be used for aliases. Therefore even if there are multiple naming schemes (e.g. based on BIOS enumeration, bus address etc.), only one of them can be used for each network device and it's rather unpredictable which one is it going to be. Moreover, some of the generated names are rather long, ugly and inconveninent and unlike with block devices, one cannot just ignore them and use a different name (e.g. one provided by kernel). |
Golan no vendora project by rjschwei At present it is our practice to "vendor" all dependencies for a Golang package. This has the advantage that everything is in one nice package and self contained but it has the disadvantage that dependencies are hidden and therefore security issues may slip through the cracks. The idea is to investigate and create automation "go2rpm" that generates a spec file with the necessary "BuildRequires:" such that the dependencies can be broken into golang- packages and we get rid of the implicit dependency inclusion via "vendor". The potential problem is scale, with some golang applications having thousands of dependencies. |
Package ROS for Opensuse and SLESan idea by neotinker2 I have a few robotic projects I wanted to work on and didn't like the idea of run Ubuntu to control them... So I'm packaging all the Standard ROS stacks for Opensuse 15.1 and SLES 15 SP1. My goal is to build for all possible architectures. I currently build the ROS Infrastructure packages for aarch64, x86_64, and armv7l. These are required to perform a source install of ROS. |
Modernize Mash deploymenta project by seanmarlow Mash is a Python based CI/CD pipeline for automated testing and publishing of public cloud images. Currently the production and development deployment for the package is inconsistent, slow and manual. This is a barrier to rapid development, deployment and testing. It also means the development workflow is different than production. This can lead to production issues which were not seen during development. In order to modernize the Mash workflow I plan to spend the week digging into a plethora of tools to first learn then build out a new workflow. The goal is to simplify deployment by choosing tools that provide consistency, modularity and repeatability. By leveraging the best tools available we can harden the code and accelerate the release cycle. |
Try to write simple rope-base Python language-server for LSP protocola project by mcepl Future of tools supporting editors in dealing with particular languages is in my opinion in the LSP protocol. Therefore I look with a bit of worry on the fact that there is no good LSP server based on the top of rope. python-language-server uses it a bit internally, the Microsoft Language Server for Python is in C#, so it is completely something different. The goal of this project is to write a very simple nucleus of the LSP server based solely on rope for the language analysis and actions, which would be at least able to do “jump to the definition of a symbol”. |

Home assistant that doesn't spy on you - developer's editiona project by DKarakasilis There are various home assistant solutions out there but all of them transfer your voice to some server for processing. This is a no-go for sane people although the technology is interesting and could be useful. There are various open source tools out there to achieve the same result but there is no turn key open source self hosted solution. The goal of this project is to implement a way to have a home assistant running locally - ideally with one command. The project that is closer to the desired result is Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai/). It is very easy to run the client side components using one docker command but their backend is running remotely. All the tools they use though are open source so it only needs one to do the work and package them in a nice little docker-compose file (https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/about-mycroft-ai/faq#can-mycroft-run-completely-offline-can-i-self-host-everything). |
Reimplement Finglonger in Goa project by malbu Finglonger is an internal tool used by the SUSE Manager team intended to make the life of the Round Robin Bug Guy easier. It was originally written by @fkobzik in Clojure. This is an attempt to learn some Go by reimplementing Finglonger. |
Default web camera selector for GNOMEan idea by lkotek There is no possibility to select default web camera at GNOME settings, but we can easily run into an environment with multiple cameras (integrated and the external one). As a result we can only select web camera if certain application allows us to do so via menu provided by the same application. This could be a problem, because not all applications do so - for example Firefox automatically selects first available camera on the system. This project aims to find suitable way for adding this functionality at GNOME level. For example via contribution to Tweaks tool (formerly known as a Gnome Tweak Tool) or other tool if necessary. |

Lioncast RGB Keyboard user software, protocol reverse engineeringa project by rsimai I recently bought a Lioncast LK200 RGB keyboard which is a nice piece of hardware and has exactly the look and feel I want. All basic functions work well under Linux. Unfortunately the manufacturer only provides user software to upload/download profiles and control the LEDs for Windows. The device can be configured and operates autonomously from any OS but color setup is a PITA and it's very easy to factory-reset, and lose all config. I approached them but Lioncast seems neither interested to support native Linux nor to provide protocol specs so one can implement it. I thought to take this as an example to learn about reading and reverse-engineering USB device software. |

Add support for the new lockless printk ringbuffer into crash-pythonan idea by pmladek printk() is function that is used to print messages in the kernel code. The messages are stored into an internal buffer and show on the registered consoles. They could be read and stored by userspace when the system is running. The messages might not reach the console or userpace when the system crashes. One way to see them is reading them from a kernel crashump. crash-python is a semantic debugger for the Linux kernel. It is a very powerful tool for analyzing kernel crashdumps. |

Port some classic game to Linuxa project by MDoucha Let's pick some old classic game, reverse engineer the data formats and game rules and write an open source engine for it from scratch. Some games from 1990s are simple enough that we could have a playable prototype by the end of the week. Write which games you'd like to hack on in the comments. Don't forget to check e.g. on Open Source Game Clones, Github and SourceForge whether the game is ported already. |
pacrunner for SUSE, and other proxy-related ideasan idea by mwilck I've got a small filtering proxy in our home LAN, used as a web filter for my kids. One most annoying mis-feature is that every time a Linux computer with a "modern" UI such as GNOME connects to the network, a popup window asks the user to enter "tickets" for my Fritz! box, although NM correctly sets up the proxy and net surfing is possible just fine. Currently the only workaround for this is to deactivate NM's "connectivity check" altogether. IMO that's not the right solution - if NM is able to detect and configure proxies for the system, it should also be able to use these proxy settings for its connectivity check. This touches on the fact that proxy configuration support is generally in a miserable state (not only) on Linux. |
Modular maintenance and packaging of driversan idea by mwilck We currently maintain all drivers in the SUSE kernel tree. While this is a well-established procedure, it also has a number of drawbacks in my opinion. I've been experimenting with a different model, tracking (so far, only one) driver in a separate git repository, and packaging it as kernel module package (KMP). This way of working fits my own mental model of code development better than the quilt style we employ in day-to-day driver maintenance. |

Bluetooth audioa project by mwilck I'm hearing impaired. Where others have no issues following talks or dicussions, I often fail even grasp the bottom line what it's about. I've got hearing aids, but they help only so much. I also have an add-on device for my hearing aids that acts like a bluetooth headset. Unfortunately, making this thing work under my Linux desktop has been an ongoing, frustrating struggle. On the contrary, it works flawlessly with Android devices of different generations, and even with my lowly Gigaset phone. Actually, the thing works better with older kernels/Linux versions than with current TW. While I've little hope to solve the bluetooth audio issues on Linux for good, I hope at least to be able to understand better what's going wrong, and be able to slow down or even stop the deterioration I've observed lately. |

Install openSUSE Tumbleweed and set up hass on rpi4a project by mlin7442 I got a Raspberry pi 4 not long ago, I'd like to install openSUSE Leap 15.2(Alpha) on it, and set up hass - Home Assistant, a open source home automation assistant on rpi4, then have some fun with it! Update: hassio dropped py3.6 support in Dec 2019, since Leap 15.2 stays with python 3.6 rather that python 3.7, I've to use Tumbleweed instead. |

Finish my home-made 3D printera project by ilausuch I started 3 years ago creating a CNC, but soon last past 6 monts I realized that I could use it as a 3D printer. The software was good enough, the hardware and firmware had evolved. And now I could print 200x200x300 pieces with 0.1mm precision. But at soon I had this one finished, I decided to create a new compact, silent, light 3D printer. |
Geeky clock face for Fitbit Versa 2an idea by joadavis I recently got a Fitbit Versa 2 smartwatch (thank you wellness incentive) and found there was a clock face that looked like a Linux prompt. Which got me thinking about creating my own. The dev.fitbit.com site looks helpful and worth following their quick tutorial. Mix in a SUSE logo and a tail that curls/uncurls with the seconds and it may become a great way to show off some nerdiness. |
A CI/CD approach for Solid Grounda project by vstsironis Solid Ground is an essential software tool for the daily tasks of an L3 agent. A continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), and even more a continuous deployment, approach is currently missing from its development ecosystem slowing down its release cycles. Current project aspires to sketch the design principles of such approach and if possible to end up with a functional CI/CD mechanism that will be utilized in the next software releases of Solid Ground. |

Tool to help diagnosing stalling systema project by jankara Diagnosing issues with stalling desktop application (or a whole desktop environment) is difficult these days as the application often requires multiple processes interconnected with sockets, pipes, futexes, etc. to work and often it is not clear which process is the one responsible for blocking the whole ecosystem. The idea of this project is to write a tool that gathers information about processes in the system and for each process that is sleeping display the resource (file, socket, futex) it is waiting on as well as the process that is likely responsible for unblocking (feeding pipe, sending data to socket, unlock futex, ...). Once the information is gathered, we can also plot it for graphical displaying with tools like graphviz. |

Rewrite transactional-update in C++a project by fos transactional-update, the application to update read-only systems such as openSUSE MicroOS and openSUSE Kubic and the Transactional Server installations of openSUSE Leap, openSUSE Tumbleweed and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, evolved from a POC to a fully fledged solution - and is currently completely written in Bash. This has been working really well in the past, but is gradually reaching its limits, especially when thinking about supporting additional file systems or ports to other Linux distributions - yes, we have a huge interest in other distributions adopting our technology. A C++ version would simplify those abstractions, but would it also make maintenance of the complete application easier? Check that as part of a POC and refresh C++ knowledge on the way there. |

Smart tool to show current K8s network performancean idea by mosquetero How cool would be it if a Sales Engineer could run a tool in the customer's site that measures the network performance to demonstrate how fast our K8s platform is? What if the customer could do that herself/himself to provide useful information to our support team in order to find the source of a bug? What about using such tool for our CI to discover potential performance regressions? What if the tool was smart enough to change configurations on the fly and run optional tests based on the measurements it collects? It is obvious there is a wide variety of use cases where we could benefit from such tool. I have been learning Kubernetes and go for a few months and now it is time to combine both! This tool will use a K8s controller that will create pods to do the measurements and then fetch the results. Based on those, it will decide to just return those values or change config and run extra tests. |

However this sounds like a bit of an overkill. Lately, there has been a debuginfod project announced: |

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! |

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. |

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.

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: |

ethtool ops for netdevsima project by mkubecek This can be seen as a subproject of ethtool netlink interface but from the technical view it's independent. Every new piece of software is going to be buggy and with frequent changes and rewrites, new regressions are introduced. Automated selftests can help a lot but as ethtool deals with hardware devices, we do not want these tests to depend on a specific hardware. The netdevsim driver was created as a virtual device which (unlike e.g. dummy) cannot be used for actual network traffic but implements various configuration interfaces so that it can be used for their (automated) testing. |

work on sunxi a64 cpufreq driver (for teres-1, pine64)an idea by mbrugger With the teres-1 [1] laptop we have a first arm64 device we could use as end-users. Much work to run mainline kernel + u-boot was done already. But power consumption of the laptop is not optimal (~2 hours of battery life time). The idea is to support cpufreq for the A64 SoC upstream, which would enable the teres-1, pine64 and pinebook to run more power efficient. up to now it seems nobody is working on the driver [2]. |
Rewrite Jangouts using React/Reduxa project by IGonzalezSosa We already tried to improve the Jangouts data model in the past and, although we made quite some progress, we did not finish it. I've been playing a bit with React and Redux lately, and I would like now to try a different approach replacing Angular with that combo. Using Vue.js might be another option too. Of course, we are not going to rewrite Jangouts in just one week, but let's see how far we can go. By the way, the redesign branch contains some interesting stuff from one of the GSoC that we should consider. |

File system block allocation algorithms comparison and analysisa project by ganghe In the past, some customers ever complained that OCFS2 file system performance went down when listing a big directory (e.g. include 400k files). According to my preliminary investigation, this performance problem is related to file system block allocation algorithm. Then, I want to look at the current mainstream file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS, etc) block allocation algorithms in this hack week, compare and analysis these algorithms advantages/disadvantages. |
Write a simple ESMTP mail server in Haskella project by psimons Hackweek 21?Postmaster desperately needs a mail spool. I need to come up with a good way to store meta information about queued messages. An sqlite database seems like a natural fit because I might want to do some nontrivial queries in there to figure out which messages to deliver (and where). On the other hand, interfacing with sqlite is a bit unpleasant, so instead I might want to write one big JSON file that contains all relevant information. That would certainly suffice for the first version ... |

Scripts and recipes for setting up VMs with multipath and other compex storage stacksa project by mwilck Customers are using complex storage stacks such as LVM over dm-crypt over MD RAID over multipath over iSCSI and FC with LOTs of LUNs, and we're facing problems in that area which are usually very hard to reproduce. It's also hard to guard against regressions. Being able to quickly and reliably set up VMs with various types of storage / multipath is a key part of testing multipath. It's doable, but cumbersome and has a steep learning curve. I want to create easy-to-understand manual recipes plus scripts that are both easy to understand / customize and deploy. |
Setup E-Mail notification about new or changed SAP Notesa project by AngelaBriel Try to get back an automatic email notification about new or changed SAP Notes. Since SAP has closed down some of their internal servers, which hosted an unofficial database/API to the SAP Notes, the nice email notification service of the SAP LinuxLab is terminated. |
netlink interface for ethtoola project by mkubecek There seems to be an overall consensus that the ioctl interface used by ethtool is a poor design as it's inflexible, error prone and notoriously hard to extend. It should clearly be replaced by netlink and obsoleted. Unfortunately not much actual work has been done in that direction until this project started. The project started in Hackweek 16 (fall 2017) and has been worked on since, both in Hackweek 17-19 and outside. First two parts of kernel implementation are in mainline since 5.6-rc1, first part of userspace implementation (ethtool utility) has been submitted to upstream at the end of Hackweek 19 (2020-02-16). |
