Microsoft Azure offers a bunch of interesting RESTful protocols, providing access to objects (Block Blobs, similar to S3 Objects), disk images (Page Blobs) and file systems (Azure Files). The underlying services seem to map pretty closely to RADOS, RBD and CephFS respectively, so adding support for these protocols to Ceph, despite being a lot of work, should be relatively straightforward.
I've already worked on implementing a C client for these protocols via Elasto, so it might be worth reusing the same code in implementing the server functionality atop the public librados / librbd / libcephfs libraries. The other option would be to use civetweb/rgw, which is already embedded within Ceph for S3/SWIFT gateway support.

pudc - A PID 1 process that barks to the internet by mssola
Description
As a fun exercise in order to dig deeper into the Linux kernel, its interfaces, the RISC-V architecture, and all the dragons in between; I'm building a blog site cooked like this:
- The backend is written in a mixture of C and RISC-V assembly.
- The backend is actually PID1 (for real, not within a container).
- We poll and parse incoming HTTP requests ourselves.
- The frontend is a mere HTML page with htmx.
The project is meant to be Linux-specific, so I'm going to use io_uring, pidfs, namespaces, and Linux-specific features in order to drive all of this.
I'm open for suggestions and so on, but this is meant to be a solo project, as this is more of a learning exercise for me than anything else.
Goals
- Have a better understanding of different Linux features from user space down to the kernel internals.
- Most importantly: have fun.

HTTP API for nftables by crameleon
Background
The idea originated in https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/164060 and is about building RESTful API which translates authorized HTTP requests to operations in nftables, possibly utilizing libnftables-json(5).
Originally, I started developing such an interface in Go, utilizing https://github.com/google/nftables. The conversion of string networks to nftables set elements was problematic (unfortunately no record of details), and I started a second attempt in Python, which made interaction much simpler thanks to native nftables Python bindings.
Goals
- Find and track the issue with google/nftables
- Revisit and polish the Python code, primarily the server component
- Finish functionality to interact with nftables sets (retrieving and updating elements), which are of interest for the originating issue
- Align test suite
- Packaging

Provide personal account sign-in for Himmelblau (Azure Entra Id) by dmulder
Description
Himmelblau currently does not support personal account sign-in, but only sign-in for business/school accounts. Adding personal account sign-in would broaden the userbase, and potentially attract more users to Linux from Windows (since they could easily migrate their existing Windows account, etc).
Goals
Implement personal account sign-in for libhimmelblau.

Port OTPClient to GTK >= 4.18 by pstivanin
Project Description
OTPClient is currently using GTK3 and cannot easily be ported to GTK4. Since GTK4 came out, there have been quite some big changes. Also, there are now some new deprecation that will take effect with GTK5 (and are active starting from 4.10 as warnings), so I need to think ahead and port OTPClient without using any of those deprecated features.
Goal for this Hackweek
- fix the last 3 opened issues (https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/402, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/404, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/406) and release a new version
- continue the rewrite from where we left last year
- if possible, finally close this 6 years old issue: https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/123
Smart lighting with Pico 2 by jmodak
Description
I am trying to create a smart-lighting project with a Raspberry Pi Pico that reacts to a movie's visuals and audio that involves combining two distinct functions: ambient screen lighting(visual response) and sound-reactive lighting(audio response)
Goals
- Visuals: Capturing the screen's colour requires an external device to analyse screen content and send colour data to the MCU via serial communication.
- Audio: A sound sensor module connected directly to the Pico that can detect sound volume.
- Pico 2W: The MCU receives data fro, both inputs and controls an LED strip.
Resources
- Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W
- RGB LED strip
- Sound detecting sensor
- Power supply
- breadboard and wires
