      The PR is in shape, and under review again. I will mark this project as done (even if is still not merged), as I provide most of the features that I wanted for this week.

    Better diff'ing experience by MSirringhaus

    Description

    For diff-ing directories, I usually like to use meld, but it struggles a lot with large trees. Experiment with writing a TUI meld-clone for diffing directories and files

    Goals

    Get first prototype going of a TUI that can show

    • diffs of text-files
    • diffs of directories.

    Stretch goals

    • Themes
    • Filters (no whitespace, etc.)
    • Live config changes (Show/hide line numbers, etc.)

    Hacking on sched_ext by flonnegren

    Goals

    Send patches to sched_ext upstream

    Also set up perfetto to trace some of the example schedulers.

    Hack on isotest-ng - a rust port of isotovideo (os-autoinst aka testrunner of openQA) by szarate

    Description

    Some time ago, I managed to convince ByteOtter to hack something that resembles isotovideo but in Rust, not because I believe that Perl is dead, but more because there are certain limitations in the perl code (how it was written), and its always hard to add new functionalities when they are about implementing a new backend, or fixing bugs (Along with people complaining that Perl is dead, and that they don't like it)

    In reality, I wanted to see if this could be done, and ByteOtter proved that it could be, while doing an amazing job at hacking a vnc console, and helping me understand better what RuPerl needs to work.

    I plan to keep working on this for the next few years, and while I don't aim for feature completion or replacing isotovideo tih isotest-ng (name in progress), I do plan to be able to use it on a daily basis, using specialized tooling with interfaces, instead of reimplementing everything in the backend

    Todo

    • Add make targets for testability, e.g "spawn qemu and type"
    • Add image search matching algorithm
    • Add a Null test distribution provider
    • Add a Perl Test Distribution Provider
    • Fix unittests https://github.com/os-autoinst/isotest-ng/issues/5
    • Research OpenTofu how to add new hypervisors/baremetal to OpenTofu
    • Add an interface to openQA cli

    Goals

    • Implement at least one of the above, prepare proposals for GSoC
    • Boot a system via it's BMC

    Kanidm: A safe and modern IDM system by firstyear

    Kanidm is an IDM system written in Rust for modern systems authentication. The github repo has a detailed "getting started" on the readme.

    Kanidm Github

    In addition Kanidm has spawn a number of adjacent projects in the Rust ecosystem such as LDAP, Kerberos, Webauthn, and cryptography libraries.

    In this hack week, we'll be working on Quokca, a certificate authority that supports PKCS11/TPM storage of keys, issuance of PIV certificates, and ACME without the feature gatekeeping implemented by other CA's like smallstep.

    For anyone who wants to participate in Kanidm, we have documentation and developer guides which can help.

    I'm happy to help and share more, so please get in touch!

    SMB3 Server written entirely in Rust by dmulder

    Description

    Given the number of bugs frequently discovered in the Samba code caused by memory issues, it makes sense to re-write the smbd service purely in Rust code. Meanwhile, it would be wise to abandon backwards compatibility here with insecure protocol versions, and simply implement the SMB3 spec.

    Goals

    Get a simple server up and running and get it merged into upstream Samba (which now has Rust build support).
