PQ metadata aggregator for Bluray 4k UHD discs
an idea by pgeorgiadis
Updated over 6 years ago. No love. 1 follower. Has no hacker: grab it!

Long story short, I would like to practice my golang skills. For that I am going to write a parser that finds ratings for the picture quality of the new 4k UHD discs.

    Rewrite Distrobox in go (POC) by fabriziosestito

    Description

    Rewriting Distrobox in Go.

    Main benefits:

    • Easier to maintain and to test
    • Adapter pattern for different container backends (LXC, systemd-nspawn, etc.)

    Goals

    • Build a minimal starting point with core commands
    • Keep the CLI interface compatible: existing users shouldn't notice any difference
    • Use a clean Go architecture with adapters for different container backends
    • Keep dependencies minimal and binary size small
    • Benchmark against the original shell script

    Play with the userfaultfd(2) system call and download on demand using HTTP Range Requests with Golang by rbranco

    Description

    The userfaultfd(2) is a cool system call to handle page faults in user-space. This should allow me to list the contents of an ISO or similar archive without downloading the whole thing. The userfaultfd(2) part can also be done in theory with the PROT_NONE mprotect + SIGSEGV trick, for complete Unix portability, though reportedly being slower.

    Goals

    1. Create my own library for userfaultfd(2) in Golang.
    2. Create my own library for HTTP Range Requests.
    3. Complete portability with Unix.
    4. Benchmarks.
    5. Contribute some tests to LTP.

    go-git: unlocking SHA256-based repository cloning ahead of git v3 by pgomes

    Description

    The go-git library implements the git internals in pure Go, so that any Go application can handle not only Git repositories, but also lower-level primitives (e.g. packfiles, idxfiles, etc) without needing to shell out to the git binary.

    The focus for this Hackweek is to fast track key improvements for the project ahead of the upstream release of Git V3, which may take place at some point next year.

    Goals

    Q2Boot - A handy QEMU VM launcher by amanzini

    Description

    Q2Boot (Qemu Quick Boot) is a command-line tool that wraps QEMU to provide a streamlined experience for launching virtual machines. It automatically configures common settings like KVM acceleration, virtio drivers, and networking while allowing customization through both configuration files and command-line options.

    The project originally was a personal utility in D, now recently rewritten in idiomatic Go. It lives at repository https://github.com/ilmanzo/q2boot

    Goals

    Improve the project, testing with different scenarios , address issues and propose new features. It will benefit of some basic integration testing by providing small sample disk images.

    Updates

    • Dec 1, 2025 : refactor command line options, added structured logging. Released v0.0.2
    • Dec 2, 2025 : added external monitor via telnet option
    • Dec 4, 2025 : released v0.0.3 with architecture auto-detection
    • Dec 5, 2025 : filing new issues and general polishment. Designing E2E testing

    Contribute to terraform-provider-libvirt by pinvernizzi

    Description

    The SUSE Manager (SUMA) teams' main tool for infrastructure automation, Sumaform, largely relies on terraform-provider-libvirt. That provider is also widely used by other teams, both inside and outside SUSE.

    It would be good to help the maintainers of this project and give back to the community around it, after all the amazing work that has been already done.

    If you're interested in any of infrastructure automation, Terraform, virtualization, tooling development, Go (...) it is also a good chance to learn a bit about them all by putting your hands on an interesting, real-use-case and complex project.

    Goals

    • Get more familiar with Terraform provider development and libvirt bindings in Go
    • Solve some issues and/or implement some features
    • Get in touch with the community around the project
