Rust Bootcamp
Project Description
Join an instructor-led bootcamp to explore the Rust programming language in two-hour sessions each day throughout Hackweek. Sessions will be between 7-10am Pacific, 3-6pm Central Europe (exact time will be determined as we get closer)
Goal for this Hackweek
We want to raise awareness of Rust and give hands-on experience over HackWeek. If the attendees want to hack together on a Rust project, I'm fully in support of that.

Update
*Our instructor will be Anatol Ulrich of Ferrous systems.
*We will be recording these sessions and posting them in the HackWeek Stream
*We have a rocketchat room #RustBootcampHackWeek20
*More about the company running the training https://ferrous-systems.com/
*More about Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/
Looking for hackers with the skills:

Does anyone know if SUSE has plans to use/include Rust in distros?
Reply to agraul
Rust is already part of SLE 15 (see SMELT), openSUSE Leap 15 and, of course, openSUSE Tumbleweed

I think is a good idea to have the environment ready for the sessions. Which version of Rust and tools do we need?

I will be sending out invites to the sessions tonight or tomorrow (US time). We can have 15 people in the session, so some latecomers will not be included. I have already started talking to Olli about just planning for another session for this during next Hack Week. With earlier planning we may be able to get separate sessions in geo locations and maybe full-day sessions.

Grapesss: a physical Shamir's Secret Sharing application [ESP32-C3 + Mobile] by ecandino
Description
A couple of years ago I created StegoSecretS, a small cli used to encrypt and split a secret into multiple keys, using the Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm.
The idea is to re-implement the project using physical devices. One device alone will be useless, but when close together they can be used to decrypt the secret.
On a practical side the user encrypts the secret with a mobile application. The same application is used to split the secret, and load the partial keys into different micro-controllers. Another user will be able to decrypt the secret only having at least N devices close together (using the application).
I'm planning to use a couple of ESP32-C3 I bought, and build a very simple Android mobile application.
Goals
- Learn about Rust and micro-controllers (ESP32-C3)
- Learn about mobile applications (Android and Kotlin)

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.)
Write an url shortener in Rust (And learn in the way) by szarate
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

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).

SUSE Prague claw machine by anstalker
Project Description
The idea is to build a claw machine similar to e.g. this one:
Why? Well, it could be a lot of fun!
But also it's a great way to dispense SUSE and openSUSE merch like little Geekos at events like conferences, career fairs and open house events.
Goal for this Hackweek
Build an arcade claw machine.
Resources
In French, an article about why you always lose in claw machine games:
We're looking for handy/crafty people in the Prague office:
- woodworking XP or equipment
- arduino/raspi embedded programming knowledge
- Anthony can find a budget for going to GM and buying servos and such ;)
Explore simple and distro indipendent declarative Linux starting on Tumbleweed or Arch Linux by janvhs
Description
Inspired by mkosi the idea is to experiment with a declarative approach of defining Linux systems. A lot of tools already make it possible to manage the systems infrastructure by using description files, rather than manual invocation. An example for this are systemd presets for managing enabled services or the /etc/fstab file for describing how partitions should be mounted.
If we would take inspiration from openSUSE MicroOS and their handling of the /etc/ directory, we could theoretically use systemd-sysupdate to swap out the /usr/ partition and create an A/B boot scheme, where the /usr/ partition is always freshly built according to a central system description. In the best case it would be possible to still utilise snapshots, but an A/B root scheme would be sufficient for the beginning. This way you could get the benefit of NixOS's declarative system definition, but still use the distros package repositories and don't have to deal with the overhead of Flakes or the Nix language.
Goals
- A simple and understandable system
- Check fitness of
mkosior write a simple extensible image builder tool for it - Create a declarative system specification
- Create a system with swappable
/usr/partition - Create an A/B root scheme
- Swap to the new system without reboot (kexec?)
