The idea is about an easy way to allow users to make upgrades (e.g.: changing from one major version like 15.0 to version 15.1) using a GUI and as easy as they can in Ubuntu. Something like a notification with a button to perform the upgrade with just one-click, instead of having to deal with the terminal, that frights some new users and gives them the sensation of an outdated system.

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.

Core Project

Project Description

SUSE dissolved an old warehouse, containing lots and lots of boxes with old SUSE / SuSE / S.u.S.E software. All of those boxes were originally going to be dumped in March 2021, which could be prevented.

New Development In previous hack weeks, the first few days ended up being wasted on just getting it working. I'm pleased to share that the code quality has improved dramatically since the last hack week and there are now extensive test cases for both unit testing and testing against real vmcores, and we'll use both mypy and pylint (if installed) to perform static analysis. Packages for those are available in openSUSE or as part of the crash-python OBS repo for SLE15. It has been tested with kernels from 3.0 to 5.1.

Project Description

In the past year we've found ourselves in the middle of a pandemic, we merged two awesome companies together, and we have completely changed the trajectory of SUSE and Rancher. This project is intended to transfer knowledge of SUSE to Rancher and Rancher to SUSE for those who may be challenged with time and resources to try new things. This gives us a chance to explore other uses for Kubernetes all while taking advantage of older equipment (for use as workers) we may have to spare.

This is the tool I've been working on since HW11 and it needs more work. Actually, there's always something which could be done on it. It is basically an x86 instruction decoder with special emphasis on the kernel and decoding interesting pieces of it in order to help in the development of low-level patching techniques, among others. git repo: https://gitlab.suse.de/bp/x86d

For events like engineering summit or hackweeks, it would be nice to have a SUSE instance of workadventu.re, and have our own maps, wired with (open)SUSE's jitsi! I am looking for folks willing to help on those 3 teams:

Make a final attempt to implement a graphical user interface for grub2 (gfxboot2).

It's quite some work, unfortunately. Here's what's done so far:

Project Description

The SUSE Enterprise Storage team has embarked on a new open source project: Aquarium.

Project Description

Provide image based transactional updates for MicroOS.

Primarily to support Hackweek, but also to gain experience for a potential future corporate use, I like to run the open source Jitsi in a SUSE context and within a setup that is close to what SUSE IT is doing. The service will be built in AWS/EKS within the SUSE E&I space and should be up and running on day 1, but will need love during the 5 Hackweek days to

Dochazka is a long-term project to replace the obsolete Attendance & Time Tracking system used by the Prague office since 2007. Dochazka is a complex system consisting of three major components: - RESTful backend App::Dochazka::REST (with lots of help from Web::MREST)

openQA currently supports different architectures: x86(_64), ppc64le, aarch64 and s390x. In this project I would like to add support for RISC-V[1]. First emulated ontop of x86, like we previously did with aarch64. As openSUSE images for that processor are already generated, it could be useful to do some basic automated tests on them.

Few months ago I switched my home workstation and media center to Micro OS desktop and I cannot imagine switching back to normal distribution. After some consideration I realized it should work fine (even better) on the notebook I am using for work.

Project Description

• Create an automated L0-support-like analytics solution for supportconfig data that is tiered across a customer's environment and SUSE environment (similar to a very modular AIOps Edge-Core approach). A pictorial overview of the ecosystem

Deploy Uyuni as an app from the Rancher marketplace - or install via Helm on any Kubernetes cluster, on any OS, or any Public Cloud.

The dream

We've developed a bit of a habit within the Cloud Solutions leadership team to talk about new culinary endeavors after the weekend, telling the others about what fine dishes were created and sharing photos. We discovered that if we combine them to a menu we'll probably have the best international Dinner in the world but since we're all far away from each other we need to share the recipes to make it work. We're likely not the only ones doing that, so why not start a SUSE cookbook in a open source developer fashion, in a git repository and jointly feed - pardon - fill it with recipes for food the SUSE family likes.

There is always something to do if you run the infrastructure for such a big project like openSUSE.... Our Admin wiki currently lists over 80 machines - and while we already "salted" some of them, there is always room for improvement and room to learn something new just by making your hands dirty and diving into the administrator role for a machine.

Bug reports can be a great source of information, but usually finding the information requires extensive work in reading through all of the discussions and understanding the details about it. Could it be that machine learning can be used to extract meaningful information out of that? That's what this project is about.

Since it has been near impossible to collaborate with other musicians at SUSE during the pandemic, I was considering an alternative music project for this Hackweek with any musicians at SUSE who might be willing to join.

2019

The situation of maintained ansible roles for boring server stuff like setting up a LEMP stack (Linux, nginx, mariadb, php) is dire and I would like to improve that. This project is about creating a handful of ansible roles with focus on * Fully supported in openSUSE (Leap and Tumbleweed)

The recent glibc 2.33 version recently available in Tumbleweed includes this change: ```

Language Server Protocol (LSP for friends) is used in a number of code editors these days. There are implementations for various languages, but none for Salt States. The idea is to leverage Salt state module to parse edited files to provide completion of the state ids or paths.

Do you need to record podcasts or interviews remotely?

Project Description

The kdump plumbing is implemented as a dracut module. The original intention was to reuse the logic that dracut uses to deal with storage and network, but it turns out that kdump needs are often very different, so a lot of time is spent on avoiding dracut features that are undesirable.

Project Description

It's becoming less and less likely that server-class machine support booting with legacy BIOS. The industry standard is now UEFI, and has been for 15 years; this is what vendors test and support.

Project Description

Inspired by one of the proposals for GSoC and given that I'm usually working on maintenance updates for SUSE Manager - Uyuni I decided to translate it to Italian. :)

Project Description

The DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K is a PCI Express capture card featuring one 6G-SDI and one HDMI 2.0a connection. It can record all formats uncompressed up to 2160p30. The big difference with this card compared to many other capture cards is that it captures all the raw data uncompressed. This allows for it to be used for automatic testing of graphics cards.

Project Description

Set up Rancher Cluster on bare metal in Provo datacenter to host SUSE infrastructure projects like JIRA, Confluence, RocketChat and Jitsi.

Project Description

So you have an idea for a machine learning project for HackWeek. Have you thought about what tools you'll be using? Choosing the right set of machine learning tools and making them work together can be time consuming, not to mention the unavoidable learning curve. Perhaps you could use some help with that.

Project Description

Uyuni recently made the switch from Javascript to Typescript. Alas, the team has a very mixed bag of experience with the technology and we could use a way to get everyone up to speed quickly.

I intend to work on translation of KDE to Czech language. There are lot of typos and fuzzy messages accumulated in Summit project of KDE. I intend to work on them and increase KDE translation coverage.

Live audio tools could use some work in openSUSE and are fun to play with. Finally many of these tools are making it into tumbleweed (And Leap 15.3) especially Cadence.

I'll continue the effort I started at last Hackweek to support Windows clients in Uyuni/SUSE Manager using Salt. When this is done, SUSE Manager would act as a WSUS server to Windows clients. https://hackweek.suse.com/20/projects/suse-manager-windows-client-support

Project Description

Grub has limited LUKS2 support in master branch for few months (only PBKDF2, Argon2 is not yet supported). It'd be useful to implement LUKS2 detection in grub-probe in order not have to specify required modules manually.

Not a Hack Week project per se, but I am trying to connect with a few like minded people - I like playing Texas Holdem poker and am tired of playing bots/strangers online. I am hoping to gather a few fellow players for a game.

Learn to program a FPGA using Verilog and VHDL

Some weeks ago I bought a TinyFPGA BX which uses the Lattice iCE40. The iCE40 is the first FPGA where the bitsteam was reverse engineered and a complete open source tool-chain is available.

Back in the late 90s to early 2000s, SiS graphics chips were fairly common and found in many low-end devices. Today, the chips are still capable enough for simple graphics needs, but the graphics cards were on PCI and AGP buses. They are not usable in modern computers. However, there exist USB-based graphics cards with a SiS 315 graphics chip. Those are around on Ebay et al [1] and easily usable with current computers. I already do have a driver for the old PCI-based SiS drivers and have long been struggling to find something useful to do with it. Converting it to serve USB devices would finally make it useful.

Project Description

Releasing rancher is currently a complex process and requires release captains to make alot of manual commits. Much of this work is very procedural. Our goal is to automate the more mundane tasks to make it faster and easier for new release captains to get started.

Project Description

I started developing Loggee as a CLI to interact with Board Game Geek and it's API. I wanted to have an easy way to see my games and log my plays in the site, and as a bonus, learn more of the functional programming language Elixir.

One of the projects that the EOS open source community has been working on for some years now is the User Story. An open roadmap and feature request tool for open source. https://userstory.eosdesignsystem.com/

Project Description

Terraform's remote backend requires a Terraform Cloud account and has an initial limited offering. While the initial offering is suitable for small resource management and teams this quickly becomes an issue as usage demands increase. In addition Terraform's remote operations (plan,apply, etc) are executed on HashiCorp's cloud resources which present issues for sensitive data such as passwords and access keys. Users are also constrained to as what tooling is available on the remote execution environment for example having kubectl as part of a local-resource. This project aims to address these shortcomings in a native Kubernetes implementation.

Project Description

For this Hackweek, I want to focus on building a small application around Raspberry PI, motion-sensors and video capture.

Project Description

Improve the gnome-shell extension Screen word translate and Switch Workspace

Bisection is a well known method of localizing which commit caused a regression in a code repository. git-bisect is a particularly used tool for this problem in git repositories. However it is often the case that the failure is probabilistic in nature - either because we don't have a reliable reproducer of the failure and thus not reproducing a problem on a particular commit does not mean the problem is not still present there, or because of inherent variability of e.g. performance regressions. Bisection for such failures is problematic as it takes only one false result for the bisection to end up in an unrelated part of code history. So in these cases we usually have to heavily extend runtime of a reproducer or do multiple test runs or multiple bisection runs to minimize a chance of error. The aim of the project is to implement stochastic bisection for git. I.e., a method that will count with the fact that test results at each point of code history have some error rate and provide points in code history to test to find commit in code history that is with high probability introducing the regression in the smallest possible number of tests. Then we can use this method for bisection of performance problems in our performance testing grid Marvin.

Project Description

Although opensuse already supports CM4 and Pi400, there isn't an upstream devicetree for those boards. My plan is to spend the week implementing them. Sadly it's a project where collaboration is hard. But I'll be happy to try.

Project Description

I plan to learn how to program for PREEMPT-RT (Real Time) patched Linux kernel on aarch64 architecture. I will use a digital oscilloscope and a raspberry pi to compare preempt vs preempt-rt kernels on aarch64 vs a micro-controller. I then plan to build a 4WD robot utilizing the Raspberry Pi, I2C sonar sensors, DC motor controller and camera.
