Project Description
PyYAML is a YAML processor in python, and it was one of the first libraries written for YAML. It is used by tools like Ansible or Saltstack.
It was written when YAML 1.1 came out, but was never updated for the new Schema introduced by YAML 1.2.
Look here for an overview of Schemas/Types in YAML 1.1 and 1.2
As you can see there, in YAML 1.1 many strings are recognized as booleans.
One promiment one is NO, the country code for Norway, which is read as a boolean False, when unquoted.
This was improved in YAML 1.2 by reducing the number of boolean strings, but so far not implemented by many libraries.
I have been working on a lot of YAML related stuff in the past years, and YAML 1.2 support for PyYAML is something which is requested regularly.
Goal for this Hackweek
I want to add support for the YAML 1.2 Core and JSON Schemas.
Luckily the corresponding test data is already there.
At the end of hackweek, it should be possible to create a PyYAML loader class that loads a YAML 1.2 document.
The branch I'm working on: yaml12
Help
If you are a PyYAML user and know a bit about custom loaders, you can help by discussing the API for the new methods.
You can reach me in our internal chat or in freenode#pyyaml

Progress
Some weeks ago I already added the test data for the existing YAML 1.1 types, so that adding the tests for the 1.2 Schemas wasn't much work.
I made already progress on Tuesday and Wednesday, so tests are already running successfully, but the challenge now is to create a good API, that is flexible and easy.
On Thursday and Friday I fixed minor issues and updated the related PRs:
- Add a test for YAML 1.1 types - This is the base for the new schema. First we need to make sure we test all existing types
- Fix yaml11 float resolver for '.'
Then I created a draft PR:
This will probably take a while until it gets merged (or rejected). Happy for feedback!

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
- …?

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).
Update M2Crypto by mcepl
There are couple of projects I work on, which need my attention and putting them to shape:
Goal for this Hackweek
- Put M2Crypto into better shape (most issues closed, all pull requests processed)
- More fun to learn jujutsu
- Play more with Gemini, how much it help (or not).
- Perhaps, also (just slightly related), help to fix vis to work with LuaJIT, particularly to make vis-lspc working.
Collection and organisation of information about Bulgarian schools by iivanov
Description
To achieve this it will be necessary:
- Collect/download raw data from various government and non-governmental organizations
- Clean up raw data and organise it in some kind database.
- Create tool to make queries easy.
- Or perhaps dump all data into AI and ask questions in natural language.

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.
