Try to get back an automatic email notification about new or changed SAP Notes. Since SAP has closed down some of their internal servers, which hosted an unofficial database/API to the SAP Notes, the nice email notification service of the SAP LinuxLab is terminated.

strace can parse syscall arg structures and print them in user-friendly way. For ioctl syscalls there is greater variety of the structures and not all are supported. Let's start with covering autofs data.

The aim is to replace dump file read routines in makedumpfile with library functions from libkdumpfile. This should enable (among other things) filtering Xen DomU dump files.

Currently the CPU subsystem of Collectl can get the CPU loading but no CPU power state. My idea is that tracing turbostat then developing a collectl module to get the CPU power state. It can be used to monitor C-state or frequency.

Goal is to implement a rados backend in drivers/nvme/target. That will allow the NVMe target implementation to directly access Rados objects (ie export RADOS objects as namespaces), allowing third-party applications and/or OS to use NVMe-over-Fabrics to access a ceph cluster.

My memory is terrible so I depend a lot on notifications to carry me through the workday. As a plasma user I am ok with the current applet, but I don't love it. It is too small for the centrality it has in my day. Also I dislike how you can not go back to notifications you have dismissed

Due to the newly appointed PM of SLERT 11 SP4, I would like to try out the SLERT 11 SP3 to experience the REAL TIME features so that I can talk and share the knowledge to team and other people

• Learn and implement a Memcached like distributed, in-memory, light weight key, value store in GoLang.
• Planning to leverage hashicorp/serf for discovering servers and consistent hashing techinque for storing key,value across servers.

Let's dust off our Amigas, hook up our mice and joysticks, and see what elegant software and hardware could do back in the 80s and 90s!

I have been known to talk anybody I held presentations with into using odpdown.

As the automation became a standard within Maintenance QA work, I would like to became more familiar with the whole magic behind. Plan is to go through internal docu a try to setup openQA and write some simple tests (and adjust the docu once there are any gaps):

Plan

The goal of Project MySelf is to build a system to collect data about yourself in a safe and private way, so that you control your data and you can decide what happens with it.

The Linux kernel already has cryptographic support for signature verification on data. This is used to digitally sign kernel modules at build time, and verify integrity and provenance at load time. Likewise the 802.11 subsystem on the Linux kernel had historically in parallel prior to Linux's own kernel signing facility implemented and integrated support to verify file integrity and provenance for use on the Linux regulatory database. The 802.11 subsystem's components that provide this facility are CRDA and wireless-regdb. CRDA and wireless-regdb technically are split up as two separate trees for development, wireless-regdb helps provide the 802.11 regulatory database while CRDA exists as a udev helper to feed to the Linux kernel a regulatory domain when needed. By using a regulatory database in userspace the Linux kernel is able to get updates for regulatory rules without requiring a rebuild. Linux distributions need the digitally signed regulatory.bin file from wireless-regdb tree and the CRDA binary from the CRDA tree. Linux distributions often combine both into one package, some distributions separate the two. The regulatory database is digitally signed by the wireless-regdb maintainer, and distributions that have have compiled in support for digital signature support on CRDA verify the integrity of the file before feeding a regulatory domain to the Linux kernel. Since the kernel module signing facility was merged upstream on Linux we could replace both CRDA and wireless-regdb distribution mechanism by adding cryptographic file signature verification support on Linux on the firmware_class module which provides the APIs to load firmware, and having the regulatory.bin file merged and updated through the linux-firmware tree.

The SMBIOS specification includes an informative annex providing conformance guidelines for DMI table implementations. I would like to write a checker tool to verify the conformance of DMI tables, based on this document. Such a tool could be useful for system firmware writers.

Abstract:

• Cloud hosted applications are now composed of many microservices often deployed in containers. When things go wrong, are slow, or just not understood, where can we turn?
  

The goal of this project is to create video tutorial describing configuration of SUSE Manager for Retail.

Project Description

I have a Canon PowerShot S120, which allows for browsing / copying photos over WiFi. There are apps for Android, iOS, and Windows to do that. The protocol uses upnp to discover the camera and the smartphone/computer and them some HTTP-based protocol. I have some code using libupnp for the discovery and a perl script that is capable of transfering one file, but it's far from complete. Plus, I need to refresh my memory, because the last commit is from January :-(. Now, there seems to be some support for such cameras in gphoto already. So the plan is to dive into gphoto and use what I learned about the protocol to fix the gphoto support.

Learn Coccinelle ,we need automatic kernel backporting with Coccinelle.

Marvin is a job scheduler that the Performance Team at SUSE Labs uses to automate the execution of the performance test suite MMTests. For more details on what Marvin does and how, see Mel Gorman's blog post "Continual Testing of Mainline Kernels".

openSUSE Leap 42.3 goes for a rolling release model with automated openQA tests. That covers only so much though. We need manual testing too. In previous releases a google document spread sheet was used to coordinate and track the efforts.That's probably not the best method anymore.

As there is no progress around MIrrorPinky since 5 years now, let's say the project is dead and look for something different, which allows Mirror administrators to edit the settings of their own mirrors.
