For events like engineering summit or hackweeks, it would be nice to have a SUSE instance of workadventu.re, and have our own maps, wired with (open)SUSE's jitsi!
I am looking for folks willing to help on those 3 teams:
- Hosting workadventure (before and seeing it how it scales during hackweek)
- Integrating with our other tools (rocket chat, jitsi)
- Building maps.
What does it involve:
- contribute to workadventu.re upstream code (fixing self-hosting issues first, improving features like "interactions", management API, documentation)
- integrate with different teams at SUSE to make it official
- build maps using tiled
- Enjoy the workadventure instance at SUSE!
We are syncing on rocket chat, channel #workadventure-at-suse. Don't hesitate to join us!
The idea for this project would be to prepare the hackweek by working on the hosting and the maps, then see how it scales during hackweek. We'll need your help not only to build but also to TEST and USE it during hackweek. Have fun with us!
Looking for hackers with the skills:

I like the idea of feeling to be in the same office even if you are not. In these days where we are all remotes, there are people missing human interaction (not me though, I've always been remote, but still I am aware of this common feeling), and those guys are used to standup, go to the desk of the colleague, and ask questions or do some jokes. Of course this is not meant to "interrupt other while working", but more in the mood of acting in the same way office workers are used to. Like feeling we are back in the University study room or so :) , or even for huge meeging like workshops or kickoff: you could have an office with multiple rooms where someone is having conversations/presentations, and you can join just by passing by, more for brainstorming and sharing ideas every now and then, without the need of turning the audio on and off manually everytime or re-joining mumble rooms or Teams having meeting links or so, if you know what I mean. Imagine hackweek (just to name one) where everyone is at home: such a visual room/office would help feeling closer and having fun together, instead of alone. Just my 2c

Kubernetes-Based ML Lifecycle Automation by lmiranda
Description
This project aims to build a complete end-to-end Machine Learning pipeline running entirely on Kubernetes, using Go, and containerized ML components.
The pipeline will automate the lifecycle of a machine learning model, including:
- Data ingestion/collection
- Model training as a Kubernetes Job
- Model artifact storage in an S3-compatible registry (e.g. Minio)
- A Go-based deployment controller that automatically deploys new model versions to Kubernetes using Rancher
- A lightweight inference service that loads and serves the latest model
- Monitoring of model performance and service health through Prometheus/Grafana
The outcome is a working prototype of an MLOps workflow that demonstrates how AI workloads can be trained, versioned, deployed, and monitored using the Kubernetes ecosystem.
Goals
By the end of Hack Week, the project should:
Produce a fully functional ML pipeline running on Kubernetes with:
- Data collection job
- Training job container
- Storage and versioning of trained models
- Automated deployment of new model versions
- Model inference API service
- Basic monitoring dashboards
Showcase a Go-based deployment automation component, which scans the model registry and automatically generates & applies Kubernetes manifests for new model versions.
Enable continuous improvement by making the system modular and extensible (e.g., additional models, metrics, autoscaling, or drift detection can be added later).
Prepare a short demo explaining the end-to-end process and how new models flow through the system.

Rancher/k8s Trouble-Maker by tonyhansen
Project Description
When studying for my RHCSA, I found trouble-maker, which is a program that breaks a Linux OS and requires you to fix it. I want to create something similar for Rancher/k8s that can allow for troubleshooting an unknown environment.
Goals for Hackweek 25
- Update to modern Rancher and verify that existing tests still work
- Change testing logic to populate secrets instead of requiring a secondary script
- Add new tests
Goals for Hackweek 24 (Complete)
- Create a basic framework for creating Rancher/k8s cluster lab environments as needed for the Break/Fix
- Create at least 5 modules that can be applied to the cluster and require troubleshooting

The Agentic Rancher Experiment: Do Androids Dream of Electric Cattle? by moio
Rancher is a beast of a codebase. Let's investigate if the new 2025 generation of GitHub Autonomous Coding Agents and Copilot Workspaces can actually tame it. 
The Plan
Create a sandbox GitHub Organization, clone in key Rancher repositories, and let the AI loose to see if it can handle real-world enterprise OSS maintenance - or if it just hallucinates new breeds of Kubernetes resources!
Specifically, throw "Agentic Coders" some typical tasks in a complex, long-lived open-source project, such as:
❥ The Grunt Work: generate missing GoDocs, unit tests, and refactorings. Rebase PRs.
❥ The Complex Stuff: fix actual (historical) bugs and feature requests to see if they can traverse the complexity without (too much) human hand-holding.
❥ Hunting Down Gaps: find areas lacking in docs, areas of improvement in code, dependency bumps, and so on.
If time allows, also experiment with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to give agents context on our specific build pipelines and CI/CD logs.
Why?
We know AI can write "Hello World." and also moderately complex programs from a green field. But can it rebase a 3-month-old PR with conflicts in rancher/rancher? I want to find the breaking point of current AI agents to determine if and how they can help us to reduce our technical debt, work faster and better. At the same time, find out about pitfalls and shortcomings.
The CONCLUSION!!!
A 
State of the Union document was compiled to summarize lessons learned this week. For more gory details, just read on the diary below! 
Kudos aka openSUSE Recognition Platform by lkocman
Description
Relevant blog post at news-o-o
I started the Kudos application shortly after Leap 16.0 to create a simple, friendly way to recognize people for their work and contributions to openSUSE. There’s so much more to our community than just submitting requests in OBS or gitea we have translations (not only in Weblate), wiki edits, forum and social media moderation, infrastructure maintenance, booth participation, talks, manual testing, openQA test suites, and more!
Goals
Kudos under github.com/openSUSE/kudos with build previews aka netlify
Have a kudos.opensuse.org instance running in production
Build an easy-to-contribute recognition platform for the openSUSE community a place where everyone can send and receive appreciation for their work, across all areas of contribution.
In the future, we could even explore reward options such as vouchers for t-shirts or other community swag, small tokens of appreciation to make recognition more tangible.
