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one-click, instead of having to deal with the terminal, that frights some new users and gives them the sensation of an outdated system.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.

Project Description

SUSE IT needs help from fellow geekos with release engineering skills to define the requirements, process, infrastructure, and tools for building an openSUSE-based distribution bundled with SUSE IT-supported application stack. The resulting OS build will be offered as a standard distribution for new SUSE employees in addition to the existing Operating System library.

Core Project

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.

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

When we experience a early boot crash, we are not able to analyze the kernel dump, as user-space wasn't able to load the crash system. The idea is to make the crash system compiled into the host kernel (think of initramfs) so that we can create a kernel dump really early in the boot process.

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)

So, he is taking a photo of each page, passes that to the OCR to extract the text in digital form, then passes that to some text to speech engine to read it out loud.

Project Description

Harvester CLI is a command line interface tool written in Go, designed to simplify interfacing with a Harvester cluster as a user. It is especially useful for testing purposes as you can easily and rapidly create VMs in Harvester by providing a simple command such as:

Project Description

We're always struggling at home with the lunches and dinners. Most of the time we realize that by the end of the week that our diet has diverged from what WHO and many other organizations suggest. My idea is to create a scalable database of meals, a web interface and some logic that generates a balanced meal plan for a 5-day or 7-day week.

Project Description

Different people use different ad-hoc tools to debug Linux kernel MM (memory management) related issues. I have couple of those myself. They fall into two main categories. One set for proper data collection and the other for some high level analysis. Our customers would benefit from the former and we (L3 labs from the later). Having them in a single package sounds quite reasonable to me.

ostatus is a command line tool designed to answer questions like "what deviations has my system from a fresh installed system", at least in term of installed packages.

fq is an open source command tool used for formatting and inspecting binary data. It has a modular architecture that allows for adding support for all sorts of different binary data (e.g. MP4, BZIP2, ELF, etc.) While working on a legacy booting issue for Harvester HCI, I learned about the format of the legacy MBR (master boot record). I started adding support for it in this PR, but I haven't finished it yet. I am interested in better understanding the ways computers boot up so I can better understand what goes wrong when people try to boot Harvester (or relatedly, openSUSE).

Project Description

Crev [1] is a collaborative code audit idea. Since it's common that more security engineers can work on the same projects, or there can be a different person auditing a piece of code after some time, there is the need to keep track of the code audit notes in a non-repudiable way.

I have several themes in progress, they all need lots of work before they could be used with openSUSE. * The gtk people keep changing things so the gtk theme I use to match my enlightenment theme also needs fixing.

For quite some time I am providing a ResourceSpace container on Docker Hub. It is meanwhile pulled about 234K times but unfortunately still based on Ubuntu. Meanwhile I have updated the base to Ubuntu 20.04, but I would like to move it to openSUSE instead. With ResourceSpace 9.5 coming out soon I see a possibility of introducing this switch. Enno Gotthold also did a great job of packaging ResourceSpace on OBS, so this could be used as a starting point for the container.

I have in my house a solar panel to heat water that is controlled by a "dummy" control panel from which I can see the current temperature of the water in the solar panel and the water in the tank. There's a pump that moves water from the tank into the solar panel and back into the tank in order to heat it when the temperature of the solar panel is x degrees higher than the temperature in the water tank. There's also a resistance in the water tank that can be turned on to heat the water when there's no sunlight.

I noticed during home office times as well as with multiple people in one office how quickly air quality drops, which affects concentration and finally performance, as it causes tiredness and headache. I want a device that continuously measures the quality and reminds me in time to make adjustments to the airco (if available) or when to air the room, or take a break outside. Parameters to measure are at least temperature, humidity and CO2 level. The device should be stand-alone and potentially battery powered, with the option to connect to other devices such as PCs or smart phones through Wifi, Bluetooth, Serial, ...

Most developers are comfortable with the workflows of git hosting services like gitlab and github, including their CI/CD capabilities. This project aims to experiment with new downstream package development and maintenance workflows based on upstream git repositories cloned at gitlab.suse.de. I'll be using the libvirt package for these experiments since it typically contains a healthy mixture of downstream-only patches along with upstream cherry picks.

Project Description

There are lots of interesting presentations happening all throughout SUSE on all manner of subjects. Presenters have found all kinds of creative ways to showcase their content using different shapes, templates, and other tools to convey important information. If you're looking to start a new presentation, the current slide templates are great to get started with but often time presenters have to look elsewhere for design inspiration. The goal of this project is to create a centralized "extended catalog" of Powerpoint and Impress templates, as a compliment to the existing templates, and make them available to SUSE employees through ImageRelay, that can serve as inspiration and templates for those looking to create rich and complex presentations based on examples built by fellow SUSE employees.

Most of us remember a period of our lives when we had time to stay somewhat uptodate on the research and developments in our area of expertise. However, this often falls short during our day-to-day work, as we get bogged down in the engineering problems of the real world, and the struggle of explaining even basic concepts to laypeople :-)

Keeping a consolidated view of a project's progress is a non-trivial endeavor. There are far too many moving parts from its inception, such as planning, issue tracking, development, and testing. All the while one must keep track of some form of metrics to ensure that there's progress, and that the progress is happening in the right direction (or whatever is considered the right direction at the moment).
