Compare & implement a simple way to startup an open SIS
Washington state is a leader in Alternative Learning Experiences, public schools that teach in unique ways. In order to manage the requirements imposed by the State office of public education, ALEs must use some form of a Student Information System (SIS).
Most ALEs in the state subscribe to a closed-source SIS: Wings; most school districts and program administrators have either no knowledge of open source SIS, or are the subject of FUD from vendors like Wings.
I'd like to develop a document comparing & contrasting open source SIS on features, maintainability, extensibility, community, and package and provide a simple recipe for starting at least one open SIS server.

openSUSE on ZoL from OpenZFS project by jkohoutek
Idea is to have SUSE system with OpenZFS as root FS.
Why ZFS
Ways in which ZFS is better than BTRFS
Main goal
Have OpenZFS as install option in the installer and utilize zedenv Boot Environment Manager for SUSE updates install
Goals
- synergy of ZFS with dracut, so snapshots are correctly added to the grub
- synergy of zedenv with zypper
- before every update snapshot is created
- when new kernel or other package which requires reboot is about to be installed, the update will be processed to the new boot environment snapshot and grub configuration changed to boot to this new one
- integrate Root on ZFS as install option to the YaST
- configure Kiwi for the ZFS install images
Completed goals
- prepare ZFS pool compatible with openSUSE installation ✓
- install openSUSE with root on ZFS ✓
- boot to the prepared and installed system ✓

Is SUSE Trending? Popularity and Developer Sentiment Insight Using Native AI Capabilities by terezacerna
Description
This project aims to explore the popularity and developer sentiment around SUSE and its technologies compared to Red Hat and their technologies. Using publicly available data sources, I will analyze search trends, developer preferences, repository activity, and media presence. The final outcome will be an interactive Power BI dashboard that provides insights into how SUSE is perceived and discussed across the web and among developers.
Goals
- Assess the popularity of SUSE products and brand compared to Red Hat using Google Trends.
- Analyze developer satisfaction and usage trends from the Stack Overflow Developer Survey.
- Use the GitHub API to compare SUSE and Red Hat repositories in terms of stars, forks, contributors, and issue activity.
- Perform sentiment analysis on GitHub issue comments to measure community tone and engagement using built-in Copilot capabilities.
- Perform sentiment analysis on Reddit comments related to SUSE technologies using built-in Copilot capabilities.
- Use Gnews.io to track and compare the volume of news articles mentioning SUSE and Red Hat technologies.
- Test the integration of Copilot (AI) within Power BI for enhanced data analysis and visualization.
- Deliver a comprehensive Power BI report summarizing findings and insights.
- Test the full potential of Power BI, including its AI features and native language Q&A.
