Description

This project is meant to fight the loneliness of the support team members, providing them an AI assistant (hopefully) capable of scraping supportconfigs in a RAG fashion, trying to answer specific questions.

Goals

  • Setup an Ollama backend, spinning one (or more??) code-focused LLMs selected by license, performance and quality of the results between:
  • Setup a Web UI for it, choosing an easily extensible and customizable option between:
  • Extend the solution in order to be able to:
    • Add ZIU/Concord shared folders to its RAG context
    • Add BZ cases, splitted in comments to its RAG context
      • A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query BZ
    • Add specific packages picking them from IBS repos
      • A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query IBS
      • A plus would be to desume the packages of interest and the right channel and version to be picked from the added BZ cases

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      The project soon moved to CLI, as the skills for integrating a WEB-UI are not my cup of tea :-/
      Its description and source code can be found at ghostwrAIter

      I tested the listed LLMs and also the following embedding models: mxbai-embed-large, nomic-embed-text, all-minilm.
      My impression is that the current state of the art for the really open-source llms and embedding models is not still mature and ready for production grade and that a big gap exists with the most well-known commercial product.

      Hopefully will run a refresh for the next hackweek.

    Backporting patches using LLM by jankara

    Description

    Backporting Linux kernel fixes (either for CVE issues or as part of general git-fixes workflow) is boring and mostly mechanical work (dealing with changes in context, renamed variables, new helper functions etc.). The idea of this project is to explore usage of LLM for backporting Linux kernel commits to SUSE kernels using LLM.

    Goals

    • Create safe environment allowing LLM to run and backport patches without exposing the whole filesystem to it (for privacy and security reasons).
    • Write prompt that will guide LLM through the backporting process. Fine tune it based on experimental results.
    • Explore success rate of LLMs when backporting various patches.

    • Gemini CLI

    Current version of the container with some instructions for use are at: https://gitlab.suse.de/jankara/gemini-cli-backporter

    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

    1. Assess the popularity of SUSE products and brand compared to Red Hat using Google Trends.
    2. Analyze developer satisfaction and usage trends from the Stack Overflow Developer Survey.
    3. Use the GitHub API to compare SUSE and Red Hat repositories in terms of stars, forks, contributors, and issue activity.
    4. Perform sentiment analysis on GitHub issue comments to measure community tone and engagement using built-in Copilot capabilities.
    5. Perform sentiment analysis on Reddit comments related to SUSE technologies using built-in Copilot capabilities.
    6. Use Gnews.io to track and compare the volume of news articles mentioning SUSE and Red Hat technologies.
    7. Test the integration of Copilot (AI) within Power BI for enhanced data analysis and visualization.
    8. Deliver a comprehensive Power BI report summarizing findings and insights.
    9. Test the full potential of Power BI, including its AI features and native language Q&A.
