Having gotten access to some SMR prototypes it should be possible to tweak btrfs to run natively on those devices. Using SSD mode helps a lot, but there is still some work to be done. So this will be a good chance to learn something about the inner details of btrfs and see if I can get it to run on SMR drives.

Simplify the codebase by using a more modern toolkit to accelerate maintenance and future development.

At SUSE LabsConf 2015 we decided to run some sort of automated tests on the SLE and openSUSE kernels after each push to kerncvs.suse.de

Lay out a mock version of an existing SUSE R&D process in JIRA. The process should have a reasonable amount of complexity, like

Why is it nice?

A local LVD(Live&VOD audio/video) system,

As you know, SUSE acquired Openattic last year, which is a great storage management system.

terraform-provider-libvirt supports CoreOS ignition file/content, which end rendered as kernel command line options (the provider does some nice stuff like allowing you to pass the json content and it will take care of putting it into a temporary file).

Learn opencv and Face recognition related knowledge to build Face recognition project on raspberry 4b

Initially, the Agama D-Bus service was written 100% in Ruby. For many things, it relies on YaST, so it makes sense to use the same language. It was great to have something working quickly, but it also had some drawbacks. The main problem is that, as YaST is not thread-safe, we separated the service into different processes (storage, software, localization, etc.). The system became most responsive but at the cost of eating a lot of RAM.

Ceph offers a highly scalable and fault-tolerant storage system. Samba is already capable of sharing data located on the Ceph Filesystem, however scale-out sharing (the same data exposed by multiple Samba nodes) currently requires the use of CTDB for consistent and coherent state across Samba cluster nodes. In such a setup CTDB provides a clustered database with persistent key-value data storage and locking. Database usage is abstracted out via a generic dbwrap interface.

Hypothesis is a python property based testing framework inspired by quickcheck.

The idea is simple. Dice is a light weight build service for KIWI images with full control over the build power by the user.

The openstack-helm project run Openstack in a Kubernetes cluster using helm charts.

RISC-V boot deep dive (Boot FLOW from 0 to Linux Kernel)

Make RISC-V boot like rest of industry U-boot for embedded, UEFI for consumer and servers

Background

A dashboard for testing and analysis xfstests results just initial this year. It has a lot of performance issues to fix, and it also needed to add more features to get usable. Also bootstrap looks very easy to use, plan to learn some frontend knowledge for fun.
