Linux Immersive Learning System (LILS)
Project Description
Immersive system to run interactive tutorials, hacking learning lessons or just games that integrates with your system. The main idea is to have an INK language engine to process the tutorial scripts and provide an interactive user interface to the user. The system should be able to listen to different Linux events (like filesystem changes, process is running, the current date, etc) and modify the tutorial state depending on that.
Example: * We've a tutorial to learn about how to use the linux terminal, a bash introduction * The tutorial gives to the user a brief explanation about how to create a directory and waits for the directory to be created * Once the system detects that directory, it automatically go forwards, says congrats to the user and continues with the next step
The main idea is to build the base system with Python and provide a generic interface (dbus, socket, cli) to be able to extend and use from different languages.
This idea is based on the Hack Computer concept, but trying to make it simpler and not tied to the desktop. It's a simple concept to have a way to create a more fun learning experience using a Choose Your Own Adventure like tutorial flow, with different user input that can happen in a different process.
Goal for this Hackweek
This is the full list of goals that will be great to have, in order of importance:
- Build a basic python Ink language interpreter
- Create the base system that runs the tutorial, keep the state and provide an API to be used
- Make the base system extensible with listeners that can wait for different kind of events:
- user option selection
- user text input
- new file
- date change
- launch program, close program
- system reboot?
- ...
- Create initial tutorial about how to write lils tutorials / games
- Create different graphical user interfaces (GNOME shell plugin, desktop application, web interface...)

Make more sense of openQA test results using AI by livdywan
Description
AI has the potential to help with something many of us spend a lot of time doing which is making sense of openQA logs when a job fails.
User Story
Allison Average has a puzzled look on their face while staring at log files that seem to make little sense. Is this a known issue, something completely new or maybe related to infrastructure changes?
Goals
- Leverage a chat interface to help Allison
- Create a model from scratch based on data from openQA
- Proof of concept for automated analysis of openQA test results
Bonus
- Use AI to suggest solutions to merge conflicts
- This would need a merge conflict editor that can suggest solving the conflict
- Use image recognition for needles
Resources
Timeline
Day 1
- Conversing with open-webui to teach me how to create a model based on openQA test results
- Asking for example code using TensorFlow in Python
- Discussing log files to explore what to analyze
- Drafting a new project called Testimony (based on Implementing a containerized Python action) - the project name was also suggested by the assistant
Day 2
- Using NotebookLLM (Gemini) to produce conversational versions of blog posts
- Researching the possibility of creating a project logo with AI
- Asking open-webui, persons with prior experience and conducting a web search for advice
Highlights
- I briefly tested compared models to see if they would make me more productive. Between llama, gemma and mistral there was no amazing difference in the results for my case.
- Convincing the chat interface to produce code specific to my use case required very explicit instructions.
- Asking for advice on how to use open-webui itself better was frustratingly unfruitful both in trivial and more advanced regards.
- Documentation on source materials used by LLM's and tools for this purpose seems virtually non-existent - specifically if a logo can be generated based on particular licenses
Outcomes
- Chat interface-supported development is providing good starting points and open-webui being open source is more flexible than Gemini. Although currently some fancy features such as grounding and generated podcasts are missing.
- Allison still has to be very experienced with openQA to use a chat interface for test review. Publicly available system prompts would make that easier, though.
Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil
Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek
Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!
Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.
For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.
No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)
The idea is testing Salt and Salt-ssh clients, but NOT traditional clients, which are deprecated.
To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):
- Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
- Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
- Package management (install, remove, update...)
- Patching
- Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
- Salt remote commands
- Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
- Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
- Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
- Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)
If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)
- If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
- If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.
This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

Team Hedgehogs' Data Observability Dashboard by gsamardzhiev
Description
This project aims to develop a comprehensive Data Observability Dashboard that provides r insights into key aspects of data quality and reliability. The dashboard will track:
Data Freshness: Monitor when data was last updated and flag potential delays.
Data Volume: Track table row counts to detect unexpected surges or drops in data.
Data Distribution: Analyze data for null values, outliers, and anomalies to ensure accuracy.
Data Schema: Track schema changes over time to prevent breaking changes.
The dashboard's aim is to support historical tracking to support proactive data management and enhance data trust across the data function.
Goals
Although the final goal is to create a power bi dashboard that we are able to monitor, our goals is to 1. Create the necessary tables that track the relevant metadata about our current data 2. Automate the process so it runs in a timely manner

Symbol Relations by hli
Description
There are tools to build function call graphs based on parsing source code, for example, cscope.
This project aims to achieve a similar goal by directly parsing the disasembly (i.e. objdump) of a compiled binary. The assembly code is what the CPU sees, therefore more "direct". This may be useful in certain scenarios, such as gdb/crash debugging.
Detailed description and Demos can be found in the README file:
Supports x86 for now (because my customers only use x86 machines), but support for other architectures can be added easily.
Tested with python3.6
Goals
Any comments are welcome.

SUSE Prague claw machine by anstalker
Project Description
The idea is to build a claw machine similar to e.g. this one:
Why? Well, it could be a lot of fun!
But also it's a great way to dispense SUSE and openSUSE merch like little Geekos at events like conferences, career fairs and open house events.
Goal for this Hackweek
Build an arcade claw machine.
Resources
In French, an article about why you always lose in claw machine games:
We're looking for handy/crafty people in the Prague office:
- woodworking XP or equipment
- arduino/raspi embedded programming knowledge
- Anthony can find a budget for going to GM and buying servos and such ;)
