Project Description
As part of the mojo.js project i want to port the Minion job queue from Perl to TypeScript and release it as an npm package. In the future this will allow parts of Mojolicious applications like openQA to be written in TypeScript/JavaScript (in addition to Perl).
Goal for this Hackweek
- Learn a lot about TypeScript
- Port PostgreSQL database migrations from Perl to TypeScript
- Port job queue backend API from Perl to TypeScript
- Port high level Minion API from Perl to TypeScript
- Port unit tests from Perl to JavaScript
Looking for hackers with the skills:

Create object oriented API for perl's YAML::XS module, with YAML 1.2 Support by tinita
Description
YAML::XS is a binding to libyaml and already quite old, but the most popular YAML module for perl. There are two main issues:
- It uses global package variables to influence behaviour.
- It didn't implement the loading of types like numbers and booleans according to the YAML spec (neither 1.1 nor 1.2).
Goals
Create a new interface which works object oriented. Currently YAML::XS exports a list of functions.
- The new API will allow to create a YAML::XS object containing configuration influencing the behaviour of loading and dumping.
- It keeps the libyaml parser and emitter structs in memory, so repeated calls can save the creation of those structs
- It will by default implement the YAML 1.2 Core Schema, so it is compatible to other YAML processors in perl and in other languages
- If I have time, I would like to add the merge
<<key feature as an option. We could then use it in openQA as a replacement for YAML::PP to be faster.
I already created a proof of concept with a minimal functionality some weeks before this HackWeek.

Design the new UI for storage configuration at Agama by ancorgs
Description
We are in the process of re-designing the web user interface to configure storage at Agama. We expected to have a clear idea of what we wanted before starting Hack Week. But the idea is still not that clear. So I will use use my Hack Week time to try several prototypes since I really want this to be done.
Goals
Have a prototype using Patternfly components and addressing all the use-cases we want to cover. Easy for the easy cases. Capable for the complex ones.
Agama installer on-line demo by lslezak
Description
The Agama installer provides a quite complex user interface. We have some screenshots on the web page but as it is basically a web application it would be nice to have some on-line demo where users could click and check it live.
The problem is that the Agama server directly accesses the hardware (storage probing) and loads installation repositories. We cannot easily mock this in the on-line demo so the easiest way is to have just a read-only demo. You could explore the configuration options but you could not change anything, all changes would be ignored.
The read-only demo would be a bit limited but I still think it would be useful for potential users get the feeling of the new Agama installer and get familiar with it before using in a real installation.
As a proof of concept I already created this on-line demo.
The implementation basically builds Agama in two modes - recording mode where it saves all REST API responses and replay mode where it for the REST API requests returns the previously recorded responses. Recording in the browser is inconvenient and error prone, there should be some scripting instead (see below).
Goals
- Create an Agama on-line demo which can be easily tested by users
- The Agama installer is still in alpha phase and in active development, the online demo needs to be easily rebuilt with the latest Agama version
- Ideally there should be some automation so the demo page is rebuilt automatically without any developer interactions (once a day or week?)
TODO
- Use OpenAPI to get all Agama REST API endpoints, write a script which queries all the endpoints automatically and saves the collected data to a file (see this related PR).
- Write a script for starting an Agama VM (use libvirt/qemu?), the script should ensure we always use the same virtual HW so if we need to dump the latest REST API state we get the same (or very similar data). This should ensure the demo page does not change much regarding the storage proposal etc...
- Fix changing the product, currently it gets stuck after clicking the "Select" button.
- Move the mocking data (the recorded REST API responses) outside the Agama sources, it's too big and will be probably often updated. To avoid messing the history keep it in a separate GitHub repository
- Allow changing the UI language
- Display some note (watermark) in the page so it is clear it is a read-only demo (probably with some version or build date to know how old it is)
- Automation for building new demo page from the latest sources. There should be some check which ensures the recorded data still matches the OpenAPI specification.
Changing the UI language
This will be quite tricky because selecting the proper translation file is done on the server side. We would probably need to completely re-implement the logic in the browser side and adapt the server for that.
Also some REST API responses contain translated texts (storage proposal, pattern names in software). We would need to query the respective endpoints in all supported languages and return the correct response in runtime according to the currently selected language.

obs-service-vendor_node_modules by cdimonaco
Description
When building a javascript package for obs, one option is to use https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-service-node_modules as source service to get the project npm dependencies available for package bulding.
obs-service-vendornodemodules aims to be a source service that vendors npm dependencies, installing them with npm install (optionally only production ones) and then creating a tar package of the installed dependencies.
The tar will be used as source in the package building definitions.
Goals
- Create an obs service package that vendors the npm dependencies as tar archive.
- Maybe add some macros to unpack the vendor package in the specfiles

Agama Expert Partitioner by joseivanlopez
Description
Agama is a new Linux installer that will be very likely used for SLES 16.
It offers an UI for configuring the target system (language, patterns, network, etc). One of the more complex sections is the storage configuration, which is going to be revamped. This project consists on exploring the possibility of having something similar to the YaST Expert Partitioner for Agama.
Goals
- Explore different approaches for the storage UI in Agama.
Editor mode at Agama web interface by ancorgs
Description
Agama is a new Linux installer that will be very likely used for SLES 16.
It takes a configuration (in JSON format) as input. And offers several interfaces to build that configuration in an easy and interactive way.
I was considering the possibility to add to the web interface a "text editor" mode similar to the XML editor available at virt-manager. That could be used to see how the changes in the UI translate into changes on the configuration.
Goals
- Refresh my knowledge about UI development for Agama, since there was a major overhaul recently (adopting TanStack Query) and I need to learn the new way to do things.
- Please hackers who always want to know how things work internally. :-)
Cobbler Angular Web Interface by SchoolGuy
Project Description
The old Cobbler webinterface was built into the server, leading to a huge dependency stack only required for a few people.
Goal for this Hackweek
The project should aim to finalize the first prototype of the new Angular based web interface.
A secondary goal of this hackweek is to learn a lot of Angular.
Update for Hackweek 24
The GH project received some traction since I have some vacation. As such it is my aim to get a first alpha released to close the milestone 0.0.1 (or whatever version I can release with semantic release).
