(was: Create a DRM driver for Matrox G200) Even after 20 years, the Matrox G200 series is still an excellent 2d graphics card. Unfortunately, there's only an fbdev driver and a user-space driver. Both are obsolete, as modern Linux uses the DRM framework for managing graphics cards. There already is a DRM driver for the G200 server series. This driver is under-maintained and doesn't work with desktop chips.

Project Description

I plan on continuing on with my Linux Kernel Library efforts from Hackweek 19. This time I'd like to spice things up a bit by plumbing USB devices into LKL, allowing reuse of native Linux USB host and filesystem drivers on non-root Android.

Project Description

GTK+ software for two-factor authentication that supports both TOTP and HOTP.

Project Description

Sometimes when we reproduce a customer issue, it doesn't always demonstrate the same behavior the customer is having. So, we engage backline or open a bug or throw up our arms in frustration. I have one such customer with just an issue like this. Running the exact same commands in an almost identical sles4sap version environment and yet I cannot reproduce what she is seeing? What to do?

Project Description

Kanidm is a identity management system (a store of accounts, groups and more) that supports authentication to opensuse, web sites, networks, and more. The project has a focus on respect of humans, correctness, simplicity and performance. In previous hackweeks we have implemented cryptographic authentication (webauthn), wasm based web UI and more.

Project Description

A lot of people are using mechanical keyboard. Having a custom SUSE-branded keycap would be cool. The idea is to create a set of 3D models for such keycaps in various profiles for everyone to print.

The world is changing. A mouse got lose and fell off the discworld. Consequently the elephants got scared and hopped off Great A'Tuin's back. As luck would have it a gigantic crab with four gophers on its back took its place.

Project description

WozMania is an Apple ][ emulator on ARM processors that I wrote during my spare time. It works fine, but for the moment it's text-mode only.

Motivation

There is a (Windows-only) software for controlling / setting the color modes on the Genesis Thor 300 RGB keyboard. I believe the communication protocol can be reverse engineered and an open-source variant for the accompanied software can be created and full potential of the keyboard unlocked.

Project Description

One day in the past, a relative young geek met Wezterm terminal emulator in a wood or rusty repos. At that time he was used to drive a Win10 machine for work and a Linux shiny supercar for fun and Wezterm fit on both.

Project Description

rinit is an init written in Rust. It offers a valid alternative to systemd for PID 1 and service management. It uses the supervision to manage long running programs (deamons), log everything to files (no binary log interface) and provides an easy to use command line interface. rinit is already working and able to spawn services and handle their dependencies.

Project Description

zellij is a tmux-like terminal tiling and session manager written in Rust.

Update: The invitation to contribute to open source and SUSE documentation does NOT expire. If you want to collaborate with us, contact us at doc-team@suse.com.

Project Description

The Commanded Elixir CQRS framework provides an EventStoreDB adapter that uses TCP protocol which is being phased out.

Motivation

When automating tasks often the requirement comes up to retry commands, for example when network connections are involved and commands do not return successfully immediately or if resources are temporarily not available. Sometimes a simple for-loop in bash is sufficient. Sometimes it is necessary to use additional waiting between retries, sometimes timeouts are desired. Getting all those combinations right can be tedious and error-prone so a generic "retry" command should be available in usual environments so we should provide a retry command to openSUSE distributions.

Project Description

This is a continuation of last year project:

Learning about seal secrets and how to use those for home-cluster

Project Description

The idea is to drastically improve Developer Experience by providing a centralized Developer portal that streamlines development environment (whatever that means :smile: gonna experiment to explore the possibilities)

Project Description

There is this text editor vis, modal text editor based on the Plan9 structural regular expressions and se(1). However, comparing to sam(1) or acme(1) it feels mostly like advanced vi(m) not something completely new (and it is not mouse-driven).

Project Description

I have had a hobby project of running Raspberry Pi to record video when detecting motion, mostly catching rabbits and such on the yard.

Hack Week 23

Project Description

Project Description

At my home we have solar PV hooked up to Victron inverter/chargers and a Redflow ZCell battery for energy storage. The setup is described in detail on my blog. By their nature, ZCell flow batteries needs to undergo a maintenance cycle at least every three days, where they are discharged completely for a few hours. Having only one battery, this means we can't use the "minimum state of charge" feature of the Victron kit to always keep some charge in the battery in case of outages, because doing so conflicts with the ZCell maintenance cycles. This isn't a problem if you have more than one ZCell, because the maintenance cycles interleave in that case, but so far we only have one of these things. If I want to keep charge in the battery for emergency purposes on non-maintenance days, I can do that by configuring scheduled charge settings manually on the Victron Cerbo GX console, but then I have to remember to turn those things back off (or otherwise adjust the settings) for the next maintenance day. For this hack week, I'm going to see if I can automate that piece somehow.

Project Description

I've got an old Borderless Electronics board (Arduino Leonardo clone) and will be following the built in examples in the Arduino website using the components I have around.

Project Description

A supportconfig provides a lot of files and data from the system, but it is often hard to spot the real issue in it. The idea of this project is to get machine-readable output for the supportconfig data and analyze them.

Project Description

Develop an SDK in Go to connect to salt rest API.

Motivation

The PostgreSQL database implementation is an integral part of many important software stacks, most importantly for me openQA. I learned database "by doing" but never properly. Given that we recently had (again) an incident related to specific details of how a database behaves under load maybe it's time to learn more about PostgreSQL.

Project Description

SUSE Manager (SUMA) can export a information about client machines that it manages already, but the information exported is a limited and there is no option to adjust what is exported. The idea behind this project is to use the extensive API for SUMA to extract further details about managed clients.

Project Description

I found in the basement an old vintage iMac G4 laying around taking dust. Has beautiful design, it's working and running original OS but pretty useless for modern computing standards.

Project Description

The outcome of this project will be a static web page that can be used to diagnose different diseases based on a Chest X-Ray.

Project Description

Back in June 2018, G. Branden Robinson submitted a 26-patch series intending to fix quilt's manual page, addressing both contents and technical issues with the roff formatting. I went through the whole series and reviewed it carefully. I recall I had many objections so there was a significant amount of work needed, including reordering some of the patches, before resubmitting a patch series I would consider committing. Unfortunately, the contributor vanished before resubmitting, and all the work from both sides went to oblivion.

Project Description

The issue is described in the OBS GitHub project: https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/12649

Project Description

I have a command line utility written in C that I use to customize an existing qemu command line for starting vms. The utility saves me from and tweaking the commands line (which is huge) by hand. I would like to learn Rust and thought a good starting point would be to port qcmdln to Rust.
