To teach myself Java coding and Android development - and because I couldn't find one on FDroid - I decided to write myself a little Android calorie tracker app for my own, personal use.
It's in a very basic and rudimentary state and - while it works - lacks a lot of desired functionality (like the ability to edit or remove entries) and many of the trappings of a "real" Android app (like proper icons).
The primary goal of this project is to continue development on the app and get it to a state where I can then put it on github/gitlab/bitbucket/… without having to be embarassed about it.
If you would like to join and contribute, I will figure out a way to share the git repo and the issues/TODOs I had in mind with you.
WARNING: I'm a total n00b in both Android and Java and my SQL is more middling than good.

Grapesss: a physical Shamir's Secret Sharing application [ESP32-C3 + Mobile] by ecandino
Description
A couple of years ago I created StegoSecretS, a small cli used to encrypt and split a secret into multiple keys, using the Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm.
The idea is to re-implement the project using physical devices. One device alone will be useless, but when close together they can be used to decrypt the secret.
On a practical side the user encrypts the secret with a mobile application. The same application is used to split the secret, and load the partial keys into different micro-controllers. Another user will be able to decrypt the secret only having at least N devices close together (using the application).
I'm planning to use a couple of ESP32-C3 I bought, and build a very simple Android mobile application.
Goals
- Learn about Rust and micro-controllers (ESP32-C3)
- Learn about mobile applications (Android and Kotlin)

Create an Android app for Syncthing as part of the Syncthing Tray project by mkittler
Description
There's already an app but code/features already in Syncthing Tray could be reused to create a nicer app with additional features like managing ignore patterns more easily. The additional UI code for the app could then in turn be re-used by other parts of Syncthing Tray, e.g. to implement further steps in the wizard as requested by some users. This way one "UI wrapper codebase" could serve GNU/Linux, Windows and Android (and in theory MacOS) at the same time which is kind of neat.
Goals
- Learn more about development for Android and development of UIs with Qt Quick
- Create an experimental app reusing as much existing Syncthing Tray code as possible (already in the works)
- Build Syncthing as a library also for Android and use it in the app (already done but needs further testing and integration with the rest of the app configuration)
- Upload an experimental build on GitHub and make it accessible via the Syncthing Tray website, documentation and forum thread
- Extend the Syncthing API to download single files on demand (instead of having to sync the whole directory or use ignore patterns)
Resources
- Android SDK/NDK and emulator
- Qt Quick
Sipario, less mobile phone, more social interactions by baldarn
Mobile phone usage is addictive. There are adults addicted, but a huge problem is kids addiction We must do something to help avoid problems in this context.
The solution
Sipario, an app and community aggregator in order to help with smartphone addiction.
Description
The more you use Sipario, the more points you earn. If you use the smartphone, you will lose your points
Business model
How is this sustainable?
I personally don't care, but sutainability of the business is key to possible investments.
Sipario will allow commercial entities to join the network. The idea is to give commercial activities (eg: restourants, cinemas, theathers, ....) the ability to certify that users are not using the smartphones during the permanence in the place. this will allow then commercial activities to give coupons to users, in order to promote a good behavior and retain the customer
Tech challenge
if resources allows it, i would like to create an algorithm that leverage bluetooth for certify people proximity presence in order to avoid attacks from points rouge in the context of the app
Goals
Deliver:
- android app
- IOs app (some apple developers must join in order to do this)
- backoffice app
- BLE algorithm to certify nearby presence

SUSE AI Meets the Game Board by moio
Use tabletopgames.ai’s open source TAG and PyTAG frameworks to apply Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning to two board games of our own design. On an all-green, all-open source, all-AWS stack!
AI + Board Games
Board games have long been fertile ground for AI innovation, pushing the boundaries of capabilities such as strategy, adaptability, and real-time decision-making - from Deep Blue's chess mastery to AlphaZero’s domination of Go. Games aren’t just fun: they’re complex, dynamic problems that often mirror real-world challenges, making them interesting from an engineering perspective.
As avid board gamers, aspiring board game designers, and engineers with careers in open source infrastructure, we’re excited to dive into the latest AI techniques first-hand.
Our goal is to develop an all-open-source, all-green AWS-based stack powered by some serious hardware to drive our board game experiments forward!
Project Goals
Set Up the Stack:
- Install and configure the TAG and PyTAG frameworks on SUSE Linux Enterprise Base Container Images.
- Integrate with the SUSE AI stack for GPU-accelerated training on AWS.
- Validate a sample GPU-accelerated PyTAG workload on SUSE AI.
- Ensure the setup is entirely repeatable with Terraform and configuration scripts, documenting results along the way.
Design and Implement AI Agents:
- Develop AI agents for the two board games, incorporating Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning techniques.
- Fine-tune model parameters to optimize game-playing performance.
- Document the advantages and limitations of each technique.
Test, Analyze, and Refine:
- Conduct AI vs. AI and AI vs. human matches to evaluate agent strategies and performance.
- Record insights, document learning outcomes, and refine models based on real-world gameplay.
Technical Stack
- Frameworks: TAG and PyTAG for AI agent development
- Platform: SUSE AI
- Tools: AWS for high-performance GPU acceleration
Why This Project Matters
This project not only deepens our understanding of AI techniques by doing but also showcases the power and flexibility of SUSE’s open-source infrastructure for supporting high-level AI projects. By building on an all-open-source stack, we aim to create a pathway for other developers and AI enthusiasts to explore, experiment, and deploy their own innovative projects within the open-source space.
Our Motivation
We believe hands-on experimentation is the best teacher.
Combining our engineering backgrounds with our passion for board games, we’ll explore AI in a way that’s both challenging and creatively rewarding. Our ultimate goal? To hack an AI agent that’s as strategic and adaptable as a real human opponent (if not better!) — and to leverage it to design even better games... for humans to play!
Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil
Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek
Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!
Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.
For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.
No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)
The idea is testing Salt and Salt-ssh clients, but NOT traditional clients, which are deprecated.
To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):
- Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
- Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
- Package management (install, remove, update...)
- Patching
- Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
- Salt remote commands
- Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
- Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
- Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
- Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)
If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)
- If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
- If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.
This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)
