Project Description

i want to build a hexchat plugin, so i can run a omemo-secured conversation over irc with someone who also has an omemo implementation

OMEMO is the cryptographic protocol which secured messaging on signal at least at one point and also is used on XMPP.

ideally i want to have a working prototype at the end of the week where to people can use the plugin to talk encrypted over IRC.

Goal for this Hackweek

Building a hexchat plugin (https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html) based on python-omemo (https://github.com/omemo/python-omemo) so people can talk with a current cryptographic protocol secure over IRC.

after a successfull prototype i would like to look how to package it, but first we need to have a working version :)

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      This is not really possible, as IRC does not support that long messages and this would then enforce parsing of multilines, which makes this too complicated for a fun project...

    Song Search with CLAP by gcolangiuli

    Description

    Contrastive Language-Audio Pretraining (CLAP) is an open-source library that enables the training of a neural network on both Audio and Text descriptions, making it possible to search for Audio using a Text input. Several pre-trained models for song search are already available on huggingface

    SUSE Hackweek AI Song Search

    Goals

    Evaluate how CLAP can be used for song searching and determine which types of queries yield the best results by developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in Python. Based on the results of this MVP, future steps could include:

    • Music Tagging;
    • Free text search;
    • Integration with an LLM (for example, with MCP or the OpenAI API) for music suggestions based on your own library.

    The code for this project will be entirely written using AI to better explore and demonstrate AI capabilities.

    Result

    In this MVP we implemented:

    • Async Song Analysis with Clap model
    • Free Text Search of the songs
    • Similar song search based on vector representation
    • Containerised version with web interface

    We also documented what went well and what can be improved in the use of AI.

    You can have a look at the result here:

    Future implementation can be related to performance improvement and stability of the analysis.

    Improvements to osc (especially with regards to the Git workflow) by mcepl

    Description

    There is plenty of hacking on osc, where we could spent some fun time. I would like to see a solution for https://github.com/openSUSE/osc/issues/2006 (which is sufficiently non-serious, that it could be part of HackWeek project).


    Enhance git-sha-verify: A tool to checkout validated git hashes by gpathak

    Description

    git-sha-verify is a simple shell utility to verify and checkout trusted git commits signed using GPG key. This tool helps ensure that only authorized or validated commit hashes are checked out from a git repository, supporting better code integrity and security within the workflow.

    Supports:

    • Verifying commit authenticity signed using gpg key
    • Checking out trusted commits

    Ideal for teams and projects where the integrity of git history is crucial.

    Goals

    A minimal python code of the shell script exists as a pull request.

    The goal of this hackweek is to:

    • DONE: Add more unit tests
      • New and more tests can be added later
    • Partially DONE: Make the python code modular
    • DONE: Add code coverage if possible

    Improve chore and screen time doc generator script `wochenplaner` by gniebler

    Description

    I wrote a little Python script to generate PDF docs, which can be used to track daily chore completion and screen time usage for several people, with one page per person/week.

    I named this script wochenplaner and have been using it for a few months now.

    It needs some improvements and adjustments in how the screen time should be tracked and how chores are displayed.

    Goals

    • Fix chore field separation lines
    • Change screen time tracking logic from "global" (week-long) to daily subtraction and weekly addition of remainders (more intuitive than current "weekly time budget method)
    • Add logic to fill in chore fields/lines, ideally with pictures, falling back to text.

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles capabilities from YAST by miguelpc

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles features from YAST

    Cockpit and System Roles have been added to SLES 16 There are several capabilities in YAST that are not yet present in Cockpit and System Roles We will follow the principle of "automate first, UI later" being System Roles the automation component and Cockpit the UI one.

    Goals

    The idea is to implement service configuration in System Roles and then add an UI to manage these in Cockpit. For some capabilities it will be required to have an specific Cockpit Module as they will interact with a reasource already configured.

    Resources

    A plan on capabilities missing and suggested implementation is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhX-Ip9MKJNeKSYV3bSZG4Qc5giuY7XSV0U61Ecu9lo/edit
