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.

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.

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.

Testing GUIs is hard: unit tests require a tremendous amount of mocking and often don't capture the exact user input anyway, integration tests on the other hand are difficult to setup as they often require a dedicated infrastructure with virtual machines.

This issue has been blocked for a while due to time constraints so I want to take Hackweek 19 to work on it.

The Gameshell is a small game console based on AllWinner R16 (Cortex-A7, IIRC the same CPU that the RPi2). Currently is supporting Debian, and some community member ported ArchLinux on it.

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!

Take the oportunity to learn Kubernetes, to play with AWS and compare performance and availability of openQA and OBS instances and openSUSE Mirrors running on AWS.

ABF is a buildsystem developed by ROSA (rosalab.com) and OpenMandriva (https://www.openmandriva.org/) currently being used for their distribution.

Description

Overview

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.

Idea is to write FF plugin which would process raw autoinst log and display it in more readable form .

This project aims to run VMs in a CaaSP 4 cluster using kubevirt and a libvirt+qemu container (aka compute container) based on SLES15 SP1/2. Compute containers based on openSUSE Leap15.1 and SLES15 SP1 already available in registry.opensuse.org and registry.suse.com respectively. VMs can be deployed to the cluster but there are several functional problems that need investigating, e.g. accessing the VM's serial and VNC consoles, proper network access, etc.

Uyuni is an heterogeneous and giant project (actually it is a beast) made of many pieces, many languages, many internal architecture structures, and also very old and new technologies live in it. Said that, and based on the fact Uyuni delivers tons of features/functionalities not all the end users use, it is not trivial at all to understand

Give a more complete overview of the infrastructure and the processes the documentation team uses to write, maintain, and publish the documentation for the SUSE products. Add missing information/chapters to the guide.

So I have 469.icu :), it's currently doing nothing... (and for sale) but in the meantime, I'd like to write an url shortener from scratch and deploy it on my own server

The next release of Ceph (Octopus) will be delivered via containers.

openSUSE now has a lot of black magic around building distributions for :Factory and :Leap

The goal is to use the work from the debug-early GCC branch to generate better debug information for LTO compiled objects, especially with regarding to language specifics like classes and templates. This has now been achieved and openSUSE Factory

There are many fun peripherials that you can connect to a RPi but PC users are not left out either

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.

Currently, way we distribute ssh keys within QAM on our testing infrustructure is a bit cumbersome - maybe we should try to (ab)use existing salt used by our internal infra team.

It ain't rocket science, it ain't thrilling, it's just useful.

The current GUI of FriCAS is ancient and difficult to use. I plan to improve that by using modern GUI frameworks, at least to make a working proof-of-concept demo to show this idea works.

I would like to learn more about something outside of engineering. I have selected to learn more about marketing; something our overall team is doing more of...

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.

Problem description

Why is it nice?

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.

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.

Investigate possibilities for the distributed builds for Ceph to speed up builds.

Many cases are Client-Server testing or Multi-Machine testing in FIPS area, I plan to hack and learn more deeply about Multi-Machine test automation in openQA.

I tried to work blockchain into this, just so we could cover the trifecta of buzz words. Sadly I could not maintain saintly and do this.

GitLab provides a bridge to connect to Gitter using an IRC client.

Create a tool which will make it possible to monitor the lifecycle of pods in a kubernetes cluster (as well as other types of tabular or structured data), and provide a convenient user interface for viewing and interpreting that data. This will be useful in development and testing of our kubernetes-based container platform (Cloud Application Platform), as it will allow us to better understand where things are going wrong when we encounter component failures.

Have a play with SUSE CAP on AWS during this hackweek.

The plan is to start working towards a rewrite of xdg-utils in python, focusing on the really bad bits such as dealing with desktop files and mime handling.

DevOps teams face double sided challenges: development tasks should be planable and maintenance tasks should maintain their flow to provide maximum value through the queue. Build a prototype JIRA project to help them organize their workload with a Scrum board for their development tasks and a Kanban board for their maintenance work, all fed from a common backlog.

SUSE CaaS Platform is a Cloud-Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) certified Kubernetes distribution.

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.

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.

****The motivation is create a open source solution, base on this business astronomy products: AZWO Asiair

Very often people find themselves wanting to store secrets in a way that either they can recover even if (for instance) their house burns down, or allow friends and family to recover if they pass away. Existing solutions to this problem are:

https://gitlab.suse.de/l3ms/RES-weather/ needs some improvements, e.g. manual generation of statistics and reports.

Recently, ConnMan got support for iwd and WireGuard. The current support is only a starting point and it needs some more changes in the core code base to support the cool features:

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.

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.

In a 2-node HA cluster without quorum server, since neither of the cluster nodes (partitions) has more than 50% votes in case of split-brain, we should configure corosync.conf to enable two_ndoe: 1, so that both nodes (partitions) will be granted "quorum". But there'll be potential fencing matches which could introduce double-fencing by chances.
