Workadventu.re at SUSE
a project by jevrard
Updated almost 5 years ago. 17 hacker ♥️. 13 followers.

For events like engineering summit or hackweeks, it would be nice to have a SUSE instance of workadventu.re, and have our own maps, wired with (open)SUSE's jitsi!

I am looking for folks willing to help on those 3 teams:

  • Hosting workadventure (before and seeing it how it scales during hackweek)
  • Integrating with our other tools (rocket chat, jitsi)
  • Building maps.

What does it involve:

  • contribute to workadventu.re upstream code (fixing self-hosting issues first, improving features like "interactions", management API, documentation)
  • integrate with different teams at SUSE to make it official
  • build maps using tiled
  • Enjoy the workadventure instance at SUSE!

We are syncing on rocket chat, channel #workadventure-at-suse. Don't hesitate to join us!

The idea for this project would be to prepare the hackweek by working on the hosting and the maps, then see how it scales during hackweek. We'll need your help not only to build but also to TEST and USE it during hackweek. Have fun with us!

            I like the idea of feeling to be in the same office even if you are not. In these days where we are all remotes, there are people missing human interaction (not me though, I've always been remote, but still I am aware of this common feeling), and those guys are used to standup, go to the desk of the colleague, and ask questions or do some jokes. Of course this is not meant to "interrupt other while working", but more in the mood of acting in the same way office workers are used to. Like feeling we are back in the University study room or so :) , or even for huge meeging like workshops or kickoff: you could have an office with multiple rooms where someone is having conversations/presentations, and you can join just by passing by, more for brainstorming and sharing ideas every now and then, without the need of turning the audio on and off manually everytime or re-joining mumble rooms or Teams having meeting links or so, if you know what I mean. Imagine hackweek (just to name one) where everyone is at home: such a visual room/office would help feeling closer and having fun together, instead of alone. Just my 2c

    A CLI for Harvester by mohamed.belgaied

    Harvester does not officially come with a CLI tool, the user is supposed to interact with Harvester mostly through the UI. Though it is theoretically possible to use kubectl to interact with Harvester, the manipulation of Kubevirt YAML objects is absolutely not user friendly. Inspired by tools like multipass from Canonical to easily and rapidly create one of multiple VMs, I began the development of Harvester CLI. Currently, it works but Harvester CLI needs some love to be up-to-date with Harvester v1.0.2 and needs some bug fixes and improvements as well.

    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: harvester vm create my-vm --count 5 to create 5 VMs named my-vm-01 to my-vm-05.

    asciicast

    Harvester CLI is functional but needs a number of improvements: up-to-date functionality with Harvester v1.0.2 (some minor issues right now), modifying the default behaviour to create an opensuse VM instead of an ubuntu VM, solve some bugs, etc.

    Github Repo for Harvester CLI: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli

    Done in previous Hackweeks

    • Create a Github actions pipeline to automatically integrate Harvester CLI to Homebrew repositories: DONE
    • Automatically package Harvester CLI for OpenSUSE / Redhat RPMs or DEBs: DONE

    Goal for this Hackweek

    The goal for this Hackweek is to bring Harvester CLI up-to-speed with latest Harvester versions (v1.3.X and v1.4.X), and improve the code quality as well as implement some simple features and bug fixes.

    Some nice additions might be: * Improve handling of namespaced objects * Add features, such as network management or Load Balancer creation ? * Add more unit tests and, why not, e2e tests * Improve CI * Improve the overall code quality * Test the program and create issues for it

    Issue list is here: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli/issues

    Resources

    The project is written in Go, and using client-go the Kubernetes Go Client libraries to communicate with the Harvester API (which is Kubernetes in fact). Welcome contributions are:

    • Testing it and creating issues
    • Documentation
    • Go code improvement

    What you might learn

    Harvester CLI might be interesting to you if you want to learn more about:

    • GitHub Actions
    • Harvester as a SUSE Product
    • Go programming language
    • Kubernetes API

    Preparing KubeVirtBMC for project transfer to the KubeVirt organization by zchang

    Description

    KubeVirtBMC is preparing to transfer the project to the KubeVirt organization. One requirement is to enhance the modeling design's security. The current v1alpha1 API (the VirtualMachineBMC CRD) was designed during the proof-of-concept stage. It's immature and inherently insecure due to its cross-namespace object references, exposing security concerns from an RBAC perspective.

    The other long-awaited feature is the ability to mount virtual media so that virtual machines can boot from remote ISO images.

    Goals

    1. Deliver the v1beta1 API and its corresponding controller implementation
    2. Enable the Redfish virtual media mount function for KubeVirt virtual machines

    OpenPlatform Self-Service Portal by tmuntan1

    Description

    In SUSE IT, we developed an internal developer platform for our engineers using SUSE technologies such as RKE2, SUSE Virtualization, and Rancher. While it works well for our existing users, the onboarding process could be better.

    To improve our customer experience, I would like to build a self-service portal to make it easy for people to accomplish common actions. To get started, I would have the portal create Jira SD tickets for our customers to have better information in our tickets, but eventually I want to add automation to reduce our workload.

    Goals

    • Build a frontend website (Angular) that helps customers create Jira SD tickets.
    • Build a backend (Rust with Axum) for the backend, which would do all the hard work for the frontend.

    Kudos aka openSUSE Recognition Platform by lkocman

    Description

    Relevant blog post at news-o-o

    I started the Kudos application shortly after Leap 16.0 to create a simple, friendly way to recognize people for their work and contributions to openSUSE. There’s so much more to our community than just submitting requests in OBS or gitea we have translations (not only in Weblate), wiki edits, forum and social media moderation, infrastructure maintenance, booth participation, talks, manual testing, openQA test suites, and more!

    Goals

    • Kudos under github.com/openSUSE/kudos with build previews aka netlify

    • Have a kudos.opensuse.org instance running in production

    • Build an easy-to-contribute recognition platform for the openSUSE community a place where everyone can send and receive appreciation for their work, across all areas of contribution.

    • In the future, we could even explore reward options such as vouchers for t-shirts or other community swag, small tokens of appreciation to make recognition more tangible.
