Learn the inner workings of TCP as implemented in the Linux kernel. This will involve * reading textbooks and IETF docs

Project Description

Edge environments need highly available infrastructure but due to scale, they also need to reduce costs wherever possible. Lowering compute hardware costs by 1/3 can be the difference between success and failure in launching an edge Kubernetes offering.

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

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.

This is mostly a learning activity for myself, others may benefit from documentation.

Experimenting with ALP

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one-click, instead of having to deal with the terminal, that frights some new users and gives them the sensation of an outdated system.

Setup a patchew instance

patchew allows you to easily track patch series sent to a mailinglist and see the diff between the different series.

Project Description

We are currently at GHC-9.4.x, which a bit old. So I'd like to take a shot at the latest version of the compiler, GHC-9.6.x. This is gonna be interesting because the new version requires major updates to all kinds of libraries and base packages, which typically means patching lots of packages to make them build again. A significant part of the development effort will be live-streamed on Twitch so that others can collaborate easily.

Project Description

Overall: Existing NFS-HA Consulting solution exists (for SLES15 SP1 and SP2+) and is in production at customers. Goal is to improve this solution, enhance the documentation and make it more robust.

Sometimes you search for a package, and you don't find it because you're not typing it right. Of course there's regex support behind the scenes but it requires conscious effort to make use of.

Motivation

Project Description

Base Linux is a new distribution developed from scratch. It aims to have the stricter packaging system, to be customizable and to work as a base for other Linux distributions in all kind of environments, from desktop to servers and embedded systems.

Project Description

Before the openSUSE 2022, we built a prototype of a command line interface for D-Installer just for demonstration purposes. It implements a limited set of functions and, apart from packaging changes, it has not received any relevant update for months.

Project Description & Goal for this Hackweek

VSCodium is a feature rich text editor. The goal of this project is to find out which of its extensions to use for better DpcBook editing experience and how to add own features, for example, daps subcommands.

Project Description

spec-cleaner is an open-source project and command-line tool for automating the process of cleaning and improving RPM specfile quality and assuring that it follows a specific style guide. It can replace old elements with new ones and reorganize the specfile so it's clean and more readable.

Everybody is talking about (and with) ChatGPT. I tried it and was impressed by how well the language model behaves and finally how real and humanly it appears, despite the obvious nonsense that it outputs. I was wondering how machine learning practically works and how to build a neural network.

Yes, those VGA video cards. The goal of this project is to implement a DRM graphics driver for such devices. While actual hardware is hard to obtain or even run today, qemu emulates VGA output. VGA has a number of limitations, which make this project interesting.

During the previous Hackweek [0], I have successfully implemented, tested and merged [1] an implementation of the entire C++ standard header <future>. This time, my aim is to modernize the C++14-esque standard library [2] of HelenOS [3][4] with a C++17 feature - the <filesystem> header. The <filesystem> header is much larger than the <future> header which I barely managed to implement and test in the allocated time for the previous Hackweek, but <future> was mostly OS-independent as it relied only on previously implemented features of the standard library. The <filesystem> header, however, is limited by the filesystem API of the OS and as such implementing of the entirety of it might not be possible, limiting the scope of the project (which is a good thing due to the time constraints). The primary features of the header [5] that should be implemented:

As per the title I am aiming to investigate a much nicer conky default, I have a short list, but it depends on asking people nicely to license there work, if I have to create something from scratch it probably won't happen this hackweek. Now that themes such as Polycore are licensed so they are useable the aim is to build from there.

Following up on the experiment from last Hackweek ( https://confluence.suse.com/display/~digitaltomm/Business+Intelligence+in+SCC ), it would be great having a production instance of Metabase running in the SCC EKS cluster, connected to the production database of SCC.

Currently software.opensuse.org search is using the OBS binary search for everything, even for packages inside the openSUSE distributions. Let's switch this to use repomd data from download.opensuse.org

Project Description

Running a self coded PHP application that - among other stuff - manages address data stored in some database. In order to have that address data not just in my application but also in mail clients or on mobile phones, I exported the data to an CardDAV address book of an ownCloud server. But whenever address data within my application is changed or new addresses are added, I also need to modify the data on the ownCloud server. In order to avoid that, I'd like to utilize a simple CardDAV library in PHP to automate that step.
