I already have a python script processing mails received in the Calendar folder to get the ical event and push it to radicale. It has several drawbacks:

  • It doesn't detect appointment changes (pretty easy to fix as each event has a unique ID)
  • It doesn't detect deleted appointments. This would need to change the script to loop over the mails and already existing events in radicale to sync them.
  • It's a one way script only: from GroupWise to Radicale, the other way still needs to be done.

For this project there are two ways to go and I am still unsure which one would be the best:

  • Use the GroupWise SOAP API: that's what evolution connector used to do and it's only activated on some post offices.
  • Continue the IMAP way: that would require to loop over the whole content of the Calendar folder regularly... is that slower than looping over the events via the SOAP API?

The code of the hackweek project is on github. The project has progressed a lot, but is still not finished. I ended up with:

  • Reading the ical events from IMAP: less parsing work than SOAP and easy to get working
  • Diffing iCalendar files
  • Listing on the changes on a iCalendar file using pyinotify
  • Writing a simple SOAP client in python to access the events to update / remove them (adding could work easily through SMTP)
  • Attachments files are downloaded and properly linked from the events

What is missing:

  • Getting the event ID in a not too time-consuming way using SOAP
  • Convert from iCAL representation to the XML description used by the SOAP API
  • Actually delete / update events
  • Actually add events (may not got the SOAP way)

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      ehh pragmatic comment on the choice of imap or soap - not knowing the complexity of neither the one nor the other, but Groupwise components rather use soap between them (webaccess to postOffice)(datasynchroniser to postOffice) The knowledge in the GroupWise team - should you need help, may be more ready available on SOAP. Bear in mind that Datasynchroniser conains a number of connectors if there are other ways to pass in and out of groupwise: http://www.novell.com/documentation/datasync_connectors1/ (hmm i think they stripped a few connectors in the latest doc - not a good sign . . .

      As mentioned a few weeks ago on research@, I wrote http://w3.suse.de/~vuntz/tmp/maildir-to-ics which is similar to your existing python script, but writes to a .ics file instead of caldav. It's also lacking true synchronization, though.

    Collection and organisation of information about Bulgarian schools by iivanov

    Description

    To achieve this it will be necessary:

    • Collect/download raw data from various government and non-governmental organizations
    • Clean up raw data and organise it in some kind database.
    • Create tool to make queries easy.
    • Or perhaps dump all data into AI and ask questions in natural language.

    Goals

    By selecting particular school information like this will be provided:

    • School scores on national exams.
    • School scores from the external evaluations exams.
    • School town, municipality and region.
    • Employment rate in a town or municipality.
    • Average health of the population in the region.

    Resources

    Some of these are available only in bulgarian.

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles capabilities from YAST by miguelpc

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles features from YAST

    Cockpit and System Roles have been added to SLES 16 There are several capabilities in YAST that are not yet present in Cockpit and System Roles We will follow the principle of "automate first, UI later" being System Roles the automation component and Cockpit the UI one.

    Goals

    The idea is to implement service configuration in System Roles and then add an UI to manage these in Cockpit. For some capabilities it will be required to have an specific Cockpit Module as they will interact with a reasource already configured.

    Resources

    A plan on capabilities missing and suggested implementation is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhX-Ip9MKJNeKSYV3bSZG4Qc5giuY7XSV0U61Ecu9lo/edit

    Liz - Prompt autocomplete by ftorchia

    Description

    Liz is the Rancher AI assistant for cluster operations.

    Goals

    We want to help users when sending new messages to Liz, by adding an autocomplete feature to complete their requests based on the context.

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Can you show me the list of p"
    • Autocomplete suggestion: "Can you show me the list of p...od in local cluster?"

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Show me the logs of #rancher-"
    • Chat console: It shows a drop-down widget, next to the # character, with the list of available pod names starting with "rancher-".

    Technical Overview

    1. The AI agent should expose a new ws/autocomplete endpoint to proxy autocomplete messages to the LLM.
    2. The UI extension should be able to display prompt suggestions and allow users to apply the autocomplete to the Prompt via keyboard shortcuts.

    Song Search with CLAP by gcolangiuli

    Description

    Contrastive Language-Audio Pretraining (CLAP) is an open-source library that enables the training of a neural network on both Audio and Text descriptions, making it possible to search for Audio using a Text input. Several pre-trained models for song search are already available on huggingface

    SUSE Hackweek AI Song Search

    Goals

    Evaluate how CLAP can be used for song searching and determine which types of queries yield the best results by developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in Python. Based on the results of this MVP, future steps could include:

    • Music Tagging;
    • Free text search;
    • Integration with an LLM (for example, with MCP or the OpenAI API) for music suggestions based on your own library.

    The code for this project will be entirely written using AI to better explore and demonstrate AI capabilities.

    Result

    In this MVP we implemented:

    • Async Song Analysis with Clap model
    • Free Text Search of the songs
    • Similar song search based on vector representation
    • Containerised version with web interface

    We also documented what went well and what can be improved in the use of AI.

    You can have a look at the result here:

    Future implementation can be related to performance improvement and stability of the analysis.

    Improve chore and screen time doc generator script `wochenplaner` by gniebler

    Description

    I wrote a little Python script to generate PDF docs, which can be used to track daily chore completion and screen time usage for several people, with one page per person/week.

    I named this script wochenplaner and have been using it for a few months now.

    It needs some improvements and adjustments in how the screen time should be tracked and how chores are displayed.

    Goals

    • Fix chore field separation lines
    • Change screen time tracking logic from "global" (week-long) to daily subtraction and weekly addition of remainders (more intuitive than current "weekly time budget method)
    • Add logic to fill in chore fields/lines, ideally with pictures, falling back to text.
