Tigervnc comes with two very similar VNC viewers - one written in C++ and one in java. The java one can be embedded in a webpage as a java applet. We use that in our default VNC setup (the one enabled in YaST). That way if user doesn't have VNC viewer installed, browser is enough. However running java applets in browser is getting harder every day. Especially when the applet isn't signed by a trusted authority.

There is a super cool framework for mobile phone apps available: ionic (http://ionicframework.com/) ionic allows you to write apps in HTML, (Angular) JavaScript, and TypeScript for any mobile phone platforms: iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. You just need to know how to use HTML and JavaScript and you can start writing an app and convert it to any mobile phone platform.

OpenStack is, undoubtedly, a really huge ecosystem of cooperative services. Rally is a benchmarking tool that answers the question: “How does OpenStack work at scale?”. To make this possible, Rally automates and unifies multi-node OpenStack deployment, cloud verification, benchmarking & profiling. Rally does it in a pluggable way, making it possible to check whether OpenStack is going to work well on, say, a 1k-servers installation under high load. Thus it can be used as a basic tool for an OpenStack CI/CD system that would continuously improve its SLA, performance, and stability. <img src="https://wiki.openstack.org/w/images/thumb/e/ee/Rally-Actions.png/850px-Rally-Actions.png" width="700">

Project Description

There's Elixir for browsing mainline Linux releases. We should set up a similar system for SUSE kernel releases.

In order to build a community around crowbar, our cloud installer, we need to get this running on openSUSE as well. So let's find some time to move the packaging of crowbar from the ibs to the obs! In the end, there should be working packages in

Create a site where users can post their desired epitaph * You can post your desired/aspirational epitaph and keep it updated

Currently we have two sponsored 3D printers available in the Nuremberg office. Both are located in a lab - which makes it hard to access them. Both also need some (hardware) maintenance. This (hopefully short) side project should make the printers more usable and accessible for others.

Learning Linux kernel Module to help to under kernel deeply

Project Description

I started the geekoops project last year for hosting some generic ansible roles for openSUSE.

To add more flexibility, variability and increase testing capacity we would like to move QAM cloud nodes from physical machines(in NUE) into virtual environment.

Out of nowhere the idea came up to organize a rum tasting session on one of the HackWeek evenings. There will be some information about the actual production of rum provided, as well as the different kind of rum existing.

Inspired by Corebird, I'd like to write a native GTK+ Weibo application for Linux, so that I can learn how to write a GTK+ application from scratch, and every Weibo users can benefit from it. I've started to code for a while at spare time. You can find the project here.

To follow a responsible disclosure while dealing with security issues on Open Build Service, we are going to setup a gitlab project mirroring our github project and set CI, using gitlab CI, to make sure that the security changes aren't introducing any regression and avoid embargoed issues being leaked.

Automation tools are our emotional friends. Know each other deeper and improve it, it's a way to be harmonious for our friendship. 1. SLEnkins

Project Description

For quite some time I am providing a ResourceSpace container on Docker Hub. It is meanwhile pulled about 234K times but unfortunately still based on Ubuntu. Meanwhile I have updated the base to Ubuntu 20.04, but I would like to move it to openSUSE instead. With ResourceSpace 9.5 coming out soon I see a possibility of introducing this switch. Enno Gotthold also did a great job of packaging ResourceSpace on OBS, so this could be used as a starting point for the container.

Project Description

As shown in the kdevops frontpage in GitHub, "kdevops provides a framework for automation for optimal Linux kernel development and testing". It currently supports fstests, blktests, pynfs, selftests and so on.

How it is

Currently the telegraf webhooks plugin for github produces rather dumb measurements. Just extracting data from the webhook and putting it into the TSDB. The interesting data for engineering metrics you have to calculate yourself then.

Project Description

User Story is an open-source project that allows organizations to collect customer feedback displayed in the form of an open roadmap to enable open collaboration between developers/companies and their customers. It helps identify high-priority issues and features and it serves as a tool for project managers to plan according to what customers actually want.

Let's do this :) !!! https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/systemsmanagement:crowbar:master

• Build zookeeper, mesos-master and mesos-slave on SLE12
• Setup a 3-nodes high-availability cluster (zookepper + mesos-master + mesos-slave run on each node)

Mash is a Python based CI/CD pipeline for automated testing and publishing of public cloud images. Currently the production and development deployment for the package is inconsistent, slow and manual. This is a barrier to rapid development, deployment and testing. It also means the development workflow is different than production. This can lead to production issues which were not seen during development. In order to modernize the Mash workflow I plan to spend the week digging into a plethora of tools to first learn then build out a new workflow. The goal is to simplify deployment by choosing tools that provide consistency, modularity and repeatability. By leveraging the best tools available we can harden the code and accelerate the release cycle.

Project Description

daps (https://opensuse.github.io/daps/) is now part of debian/ubuntu repositories. the problem is that its old version that supports DocBook up to 5.0 The aim of this project is to bring up-to-date daps infrastructure to debian/ubuntu, including DocBook 5.2, geekodoc, vale and maybe others

The project is to address fdisk/libfdisk TODO items from upstream util-linux project: https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/blob/master/Documentation/TODO#L84

We want to improve translation of dependencies done by spec-cleaner (i.e. cmake(blah)) and so on - see github.

The project aims to port openSUSE to the ROCKPro64. The ROCKPro64 is the most powerful Single Board Computer released by Pine64. It is powered by a Rockchip RK3399 Hexa-Core (dual ARM Cortex A72 and quad ARM Cortex A53) 64-Bit Processor with a MALI T-860 Quad-Core GPU.

Netbox-Sync

Imagine this, you are managing your infrastructure for your lab or server farm using the popular NetBox tool. Everytime you install a new machine you connect to it and collect all the system's information to enter into NetBox. Including stuff like system resources, architecture, vendor, type and all the network interfaces. Tedious isn't it?

Project Description

Before the openSUSE 2022, we built a prototype of a command line interface for D-Installer just for demonstration purposes. It implements a limited set of functions and, apart from packaging changes, it has not received any relevant update for months.

I intend to work on translation of KDE to Czech language. http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/stable-kde4/team/cs/

SCC doesn't require an email address, so could you automatically generate random keys until one matches and effectively 'steal' SCC licenses from customers?

Port the Fiurefox extension FireTitle to SeaMonkey. Adding SM's appid to install.rdf doesn't seem to do it.

L3 bug reproduction often requires becoming the admin for a moment. I'd like to write down some nifty tricks I used to get certain “interesting” system configurations to work.

Idea is create applet with same functionality which provided by network-manager applet . Gather more detailed requirements is part of fun :)

Writing code is wonderful, but it gets its real value, when it's released and shipped to the world. You know the mantra: "Release early, release often". Releasing code is not hard, but it involves a lot of details, and you want to get them right, because a release is this public statement "Hey, it's done, it works, you can use it." and you can't take a release back, once it's out there. To help with releases there are tons of release scripts which try to automate things. But they usually are quite fragile in case something goes wrong and a pain to test and maintain.

We all pant for customer data. Which hardware do customers run ? Which packages are installed ? Which services are running ? etc. pp. A lot of this data is in the supportconfig. But this is neither collected, nor centralized, not easily accessible.

The Challenge

Project Description & Goal for this Hackweek

VSCodium is a feature rich text editor. The goal of this project is to find out which of its extensions to use for better DpcBook editing experience and how to add own features, for example, daps subcommands.

The goal of the project is making the gdb able to open compressed kernel dump - access its memory contents at the very least. If one wants to open compressed kernel dump (that's what our customers are sending mostly when reporting kernel panics nowadays), he has to use crash. Crash is a brilliant tool with many kernel-specific hacks, but at the same time, it has a huge functionality overlap with gdb, it is hard (even impossible in many cases) to extend it.
