Project Description

This project will create a simple chat-bot for tutoring children for school. Lessons will be pre-configured by feeding in a document and requesting the material be taught to a child in consideration of the child's age, etc.

Goal for this Hackweek

Create an interface to have student/teacher logins, where a teacher can configure a lesson for the day. A configured lesson is simply providing initial prompts to the chat-bot.

      Here is the first video produced by tinytutor: https://youtu.be/4SNXoWxYolU which I generated from the parsed input from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering. The images generated by openai are pretty rough, but good enough to keep kids entertained.

      Initially I was going to use Alpaca for the text generation, but was encountering some problems. I've decided to simply use the openai api for the time being, and I'll integrate free models at a later time.

    issuefs: FUSE filesystem representing issues (e.g. JIRA) for the use with AI agents code-assistants by llansky3

    Description

    Creating a FUSE filesystem (issuefs) that mounts issues from various ticketing systems (Github, Jira, Bugzilla, Redmine) as files to your local file system.

    And why this is good idea?

    • User can use favorite command line tools to view and search the tickets from various sources
    • User can use AI agents capabilities from your favorite IDE or cli to ask question about the issues, project or functionality while providing relevant tickets as context without extra work.
    • User can use it during development of the new features when you let the AI agent to jump start the solution. The issuefs will give the AI agent the context (AI agents just read few more files) about the bug or requested features. No need for copying and pasting issues to user prompt or by using extra MCP tools to access the issues. These you can still do but this approach is on purpose different.

    Goals

    1. Add Github issue support
    2. Proof the concept/approach by apply the approach on itself using Github issues for tracking and development of new features
    3. Add support for Bugzilla and Redmine using this approach in the process of doing it. Record a video of it.
    4. Clean-up and test the implementation and create some documentation
    5. Create a blog post about this approach

    There is a prototype implementation here. This currently sort of works with JIRA only.


    Liz - Prompt autocomplete by ftorchia

    Description

    Liz is the Rancher AI assistant for cluster operations.

    Goals

    We want to help users when sending new messages to Liz, by adding an autocomplete feature to complete their requests based on the context.

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Can you show me the list of p"
    • Autocomplete suggestion: "Can you show me the list of p...od in local cluster?"

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Show me the logs of #rancher-"
    • Chat console: It shows a drop-down widget, next to the # character, with the list of available pod names starting with "rancher-".

    Technical Overview

    1. The AI agent should expose a new ws/autocomplete endpoint to proxy autocomplete messages to the LLM.
    2. The UI extension should be able to display prompt suggestions and allow users to apply the autocomplete to the Prompt via keyboard shortcuts.

    "what is it" file and directory analysis via MCP and local LLM, for console and KDE by rsimai

    Description

    Users sometimes wonder what files or directories they find on their local PC are good for. If they can't determine from the filename or metadata, there should an easy way to quickly analyze the content and at least guess the meaning. An LLM could help with that, through the use of a filesystem MCP and to-text-converters for typical file types. Ideally this is integrated into the desktop environment but works as well from a console. All data is processed locally or "on premise", no artifacts remain or leave the system.

    Goals

    • The user can run a command from the console, to check on a file or directory
    • The filemanager contains the "analyze" feature within the context menu
    • The local LLM could serve for other use cases where privacy matters

    TBD

    • Find or write capable one-shot and interactive MCP client
    • Find or write simple+secure file access MCP server
    • Create local LLM service with appropriate footprint, containerized
    • Shell command with options
    • KDE integration (Dolphin)
    • Package
    • Document

    Extended private brain - RAG my own scripts and data into offline LLM AI by tjyrinki_suse

    Description

    For purely studying purposes, I'd like to find out if I could teach an LLM some of my own accumulated knowledge, to use it as a sort of extended brain.

    I might use qwen3-coder or something similar as a starting point.

    Everything would be done 100% offline without network available to the container, since I prefer to see when network is needed, and make it so it's never needed (other than initial downloads).

    Goals

    1. Learn something about RAG, LLM, AI.
    2. Find out if everything works offline as intended.
    3. As an end result have a new way to access my own existing know-how, but so that I can query the wisdom in them.
    4. Be flexible to pivot in any direction, as long as there are new things learned.

    Resources

    To be found on the fly.

    Timeline

    Day 1 (of 4)

    • Tried out a RAG demo, expanded on feeding it my own data
    • Experimented with qwen3-coder to add a persistent chat functionality, and keeping vectors in a pickle file
    • Optimizations to keep everything within context window
    • Learn and add a bit of PyTest

    Day 2

    • More experimenting and more data
    • Study ChromaDB
    • Add a Web UI that works from another computer even though the container sees network is down

    Day 3

    • The above RAG is working well enough for demonstration purposes.
    • Pivot to trying out OpenCode, configuring local Ollama qwen3-coder there, to analyze the RAG demo.
    • Figured out how to configure Ollama template to be usable under OpenCode. OpenCode locally is super slow to just running qwen3-coder alone.

    Day 4 (final day)

    • Battle with OpenCode that was both slow and kept on piling up broken things.
    • Call it success as after all the agentic AI was working locally.
    • Clean up the mess left behind a bit.

    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.

    openQA log viewer by mpagot

    Description

    *** Warning: Are You at Risk for VOMIT? ***

    Do you find yourself staring at a screen, your eyes glossing over as thousands of lines of text scroll by? Do you feel a wave of text-based nausea when someone asks you to "just check the logs"?

    You may be suffering from VOMIT (Verbose Output Mental Irritation Toxicity).

    This dangerous, work-induced ailment is triggered by exposure to an overwhelming quantity of log data, especially from parallel systems. The human brain, not designed to mentally process 12 simultaneous autoinst-log.txt files, enters a state of toxic shock. It rejects the "Verbose Output," making it impossible to find the one critical error line buried in a 50,000-line sea of "INFO: doing a thing."

    Before you're forced to rm -rf /var/log in a fit of desperation, we present the digital antacid.

    No panic: we have The openQA Log Visualizer

    This is the UI antidote for handling toxic log environments. It bravely dives into the chaotic, multi-machine mess of your openQA test runs, finds all the related, verbose logs, and force-feeds them into a parser.

    image

    Goals

    Work on the existing POC openqa-log-visualizer about few specific tasks:

    • add support for more type of logs
    • extend the configuration file syntax beyond the actual one
    • work on log parsing performance

    Find some beta-tester and collect feedback and ideas about features

    If time allow for it evaluate other UI frameworks and solutions (something more simple to distribute and run, maybe more low level to gain in performance).

    mgr-ansible-ssh - Intelligent, Lightweight CLI for Distributed Remote Execution by deve5h

    Description

    By the end of Hack Week, the target will be to deliver a minimal functional version 1 (MVP) of a custom command-line tool named mgr-ansible-ssh (a unified wrapper for BOTH ad-hoc shell & playbooks) that allows operators to:

    1. Execute arbitrary shell commands on thousand of remote machines simultaneously using Ansible Runner with artifacts saved locally.
    2. Pass runtime options such as inventory file, remote command string/ playbook execution, parallel forks, limits, dry-run mode, or no-std-ansible-output.
    3. Leverage existing SSH trust relationships without additional setup.
    4. Provide a clean, intuitive CLI interface with --help for ease of use. It should provide consistent UX & CI-friendly interface.
    5. Establish a foundation that can later be extended with advanced features such as logging, grouping, interactive shell mode, safe-command checks, and parallel execution tuning.

    The MVP should enable day-to-day operations to efficiently target thousands of machines with a single, consistent interface.

    Goals

    Primary Goals (MVP):

    Build a functional CLI tool (mgr-ansible-ssh) capable of executing shell commands on multiple remote hosts using Ansible Runner. Test the tool across a large distributed environment (1000+ machines) to validate its performance and reliability.

    Looking forward to significantly reducing the zypper deployment time across all 351 RMT VM servers in our MLM cluster by eliminating the dependency on the taskomatic service, bringing execution down to a fraction of the current duration. The tool should also support multiple runtime flags, such as:

    mgr-ansible-ssh: Remote command execution wrapper using Ansible Runner
    
    Usage: mgr-ansible-ssh [--help] [--version] [--inventory INVENTORY]
                       [--run RUN] [--playbook PLAYBOOK] [--limit LIMIT]
                       [--forks FORKS] [--dry-run] [--no-ansible-output]
    
    Required Arguments
    --inventory, -i      Path to Ansible inventory file to use
    
    Any One of the Arguments Is Required
    --run, -r            Execute the specified shell command on target hosts
    --playbook, -p       Execute the specified Ansible playbook on target hosts
    
    Optional Arguments
    --help, -h           Show the help message and exit
    --version, -v        Show the version and exit
    --limit, -l          Limit execution to specific hosts or groups
    --forks, -f          Number of parallel Ansible forks
    --dry-run            Run in Ansible check mode (requires -p or --playbook)
    --no-ansible-output  Suppress Ansible stdout output
    

    Secondary/Stretched Goals (if time permits):

    1. Add pretty output formatting (success/failure summary per host).
    2. Implement basic logging of executed commands and results.
    3. Introduce safety checks for risky commands (shutdown, rm -rf, etc.).
    4. Package the tool so it can be installed with pip or stored internally.

    Resources

    Collaboration is welcome from anyone interested in CLI tooling, automation, or distributed systems. Skills that would be particularly valuable include:

    1. Python especially around CLI dev (argparse, click, rich)


    Improve/rework household chore tracker `chorazon` by gniebler

    Description

    I wrote a household chore tracker named chorazon, which is meant to be deployed as a web application in the household's local network.

    It features the ability to set up different (so far only weekly) schedules per task and per person, where tasks may span several days.

    There are "tokens", which can be collected by users. Tasks can (and usually will) have rewards configured where they yield a certain amount of tokens. The idea is that they can later be redeemed for (surprise) gifts, but this is not implemented yet. (So right now one needs to edit the DB manually to subtract tokens when they're redeemed.)

    Days are not rolled over automatically, to allow for task completion control.

    We used it in my household for several months, with mixed success. There are many limitations in the system that would warrant a revisit.

    It's written using the Pyramid Python framework with URL traversal, ZODB as the data store and Web Components for the frontend.

    Goals

    • Add admin screens for users, tasks and schedules
    • Add models, pages etc. to allow redeeming tokens for gifts/surprises
    • …?
