I want to use this week to familiar with the SUSE products that i don't have time/chance to participate. For instance, SUSE Cloud, SUSE storage, Docker etc... Just like the presentations in SUSEcon 2015 closing keynote.

Live audio tools could use some work in openSUSE and are fun to play with.

A nice project for enhancing the winter time:

As live migration is widely used in many scenarios nowadays, spend one week time to study it and try to improve its efficiency, e.g. seamlessly migrate with less downgrading the guest. Another challenging part is memory migration, as it involves the dirty memory's detection, record and copy.

Rationale:

Whether it's building a newer, upstream UBoot, EDK II, or merely a SLE based rootfs, I want to make this platform a realistic possibility for desktop, digital signage, labs, etc.

Project Description

Finish extension for server side history for jabberd2 server and create a simple webui to browse it using tntnet. Part of the project is to learn to use tntnet toolkit, other part is to have server side history.

bundler-audit is an open source that scans you Gemfile.lock (if you program with ruby) for known vulnerabilities.

Based on the little-used HTML5 outline spec, investigate&implement an in-browser tool (currently a chrome extension or browser user script) to easily, interactively scrap a documentation web page into an 'index-content' map for (offline) searching.

Metadata project provides testsuites as a service. Slenkins test wants to use metadata but requires two new fields. I will add nodes and incompatible two new fields.

This project is about hacking and pushing further an engine called BPAEngine written in plymouth that enable people to develop better boot screens without much effort. Having those new boot screens in our distributions would be great.

There seems to be an overall consensus that the ioctl interface used by ethtool is a poor design as it's inflexible, error prone and notoriously hard to extend. It should clearly be replaced by netlink and obsoleted. Unfortunately not much actual work has been done in that direction until this project started.

During testing virtualization , I usually met some issue and can not position the issue location (host or guest), so I would like to deeply learn QEMU code, card the work flow, understand communication mechanism between host and guest.

Somebody do something!

Project Description

With this project I would like to refresh/update the confluence documentation describing how SUSE Manager maintenance works and how to process a SUSE Manager update round.

Intel Rapid Start Technology(IRST) is a firmware mechanism enables your system to get up and running faster from sleep, saving time and power consumption, it will cause the system to wake up from S3 and suspend to S4(with SSD)[1]. Currently kernel 3.11 already support it[2], however there haven't a graphic tool to control its wakeup event and timeout, like as similar tool on Windows[3]. This Hackweek I'll create a YaST module to handle those parameters.

Project Description

Current kGraft implementation allows to apply new patch only when the previous one is applied to the whole system. Every task is handled separately and it needs to wait for a safe place to switch. It might take a while, especially when the task is sleeping.

For our daily work, usually we need to check running result from openQA as a good reference for the quality of a specific build. I'd like to take this chance to make openQA deployed and try to review the test scripts.

Introduction

What is Qubes OS

There are several game launchers for Linux already (like Lutris or GR-lida), but none of them is focused on compatibility with old Linux games or other ancient native applications. At the same time it is getting more and more difficult to get those old applications to run on modern Linux distributions.

I want to study the knowledge of openQA I will read the online documents and do some experiment in virtal-machine.

Following up on the experiment from last Hackweek ( https://confluence.suse.com/display/~digitaltomm/Business+Intelligence+in+SCC ), it would be great having a production instance of Metabase running in the SCC EKS cluster, connected to the production database of SCC.

Project Description

Description

Large language models like ChatGPT have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across a variety of applications. However, their potential for enhancing the Linux development and user ecosystem remains largely unexplored. This project seeks to bridge that gap by researching practical applications of LLMs to improve workflows in areas such as backporting, packaging, log analysis, system migration, and more. By identifying patterns that LLMs can leverage, we aim to uncover new efficiencies and automation strategies that can benefit developers, maintainers, and end users alike.

After https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/105 the next thing to merge is hermes.

I previously created a semi-auto test script(*) for MOK. The script controls the QEMU virtual machine a pre-setup image and performs two simple test cases. It's tedious to setup the images for every SLE and openSUSE. My goal is to write a script to automatically set up the virtual machines and images and do a full test. I would also like to set up a test for weekly-built OVMF. openQA might be a good reference.

I would like to spend the hackweek to study the Professional Scrum Master level I (PSM I), and then take the certification examination.

I am HA developer, don't have any experience on machine leaning field. Recent years, many topics like "Data Analysis, Data Mining, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Big Data, etc... (I don't forget AI, but in not this time)" become more and more popular and seems interesting to me. I also want to know how high availability function implemented in some distributed system for the core part.

The current GUI of FriCAS is ancient and difficult to use. I plan to improve that by using modern GUI frameworks, at least to make a working proof-of-concept demo to show this idea works.

I plan to summary exist knowledge in filesystem part during hackweek. And learn some more feature about btrfs/xfs/ext4. The motivation is to speed up test result review in the future.

Purpose:

Description

There have been repeated requests for a machine-friendly dmidecode output over the last decade. During Hack Week 19, 5 years ago, I prepared the code to support alternative output formats, but didn't have the time to go further. Last year, Jiri Hnidek from Red Hat Linux posted a proof-of-concept implementation to add JSON output support. This is a fairly large pull request which needs to be carefully reviewed and tested.

reveal.js is a modern & lightweight HTML5/js-based presentation framework – much smarter than LibreOffice Impress can ever be (for a software developer). Richard Brown was so kind to create a proper LibreOffice presentation template for openSUSE and I would like to bring that design to reveal.js so next time I do a presentation I can happily use reveal.js while keeping up the openSUSE flag. :-)

A few months ago, I started thinking "it cannot be that hard to model my house using some CAD software". And of course I miserably failed.

openSUSE code

Description

I had presented the "Wicked Network Manager" talk at openSUSE Asia summit @Beijing. I would like to keep studying the topic continuously. Getting involve the source code and study the operating style and components. I also met some problem after discussing and testing issues while my research , I want to keep it as a record and writing the technical document on wiki too.

The Idea

Since some time I am interested in getting better at C++ and learn more about Qt framework. Since I learn best with having a project/goal I came up with this:

There is a running gag built into openQA called interactive mode. It goes like this: "if you need the interactive mode, it's broken". The reason: the so called interactive mode is a collection of hacks - in theory making it possible to update needles in a running test.

This is an idea that's been kicking around for a while... maybe it's finally time to "make it so."

Learning design model can help to produce high quality codes, which will benefit our products.

Bisection is a well known method of localizing which commit caused a regression in a code repository. git-bisect is a particularly used tool for this problem in git repositories. However it is often the case that the failure is probabilistic in nature - either because we don't have a reliable reproducer of the failure and thus not reproducing a problem on a particular commit does not mean the problem is not still present there, or because of inherent variability of e.g. performance regressions. Bisection for such failures is problematic as it takes only one false result for the bisection to end up in an unrelated part of code history. So in these cases we usually have to heavily extend runtime of a reproducer or do multiple test runs or multiple bisection runs to minimize a chance of error.

Overview

With the recent explosion of product extensions, modules, bases, the decomposition of monolithic base products into modules, and the amount of churn in product composition between releases, the task of calculating product dependencies and migrations between products has approached the complexity of package management. We have a state of the art tool for solving package dependencies, so why not apply it to the new domain?

Minnowboard is the platform for UEFI development and supports UEFI capsule update since 0.99, and we are supposed to be able to test the feature with fwupd. However, there is no capsule file in fwupd.org or the official firmware download site. Besides, the Minnowboard firmware source in the current edk2/edk2-platforms git couldn't build due to the recent change of directories. My goal is to rebase the Minnowboard build system to the current git master and create a working up-to-date firmware. Signing the firmware properly would be a plus so that we can apply a private repo in fwupd.org for the development or QA testing.

As per the title I am aiming to investigate a much nicer conky default, I have a short list, but it depends on asking people nicely to license there work, if I have to create something from scratch it probably won't happen this hackweek.

Every packager encounters boring manual tasks every once in a while and these tasks can most probably be automated to some extent. During Hackweek I aim to try and identify such cases in various packagers' workflow and consider creating a tool that would make these tasks easier. Also, I would like to find out whether there is a demand for such tool. In that case, this Hackweek project will turn into a long-term task I plan to keep working on.

In the last hackweeks and my free time, I've been developing several tools to various degrees of completion. The purpose of this hackweek is to finish three of them, publish them on github and create openSUSE packages.

Try to use apache-rex framework while testing httpd modules.

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.

Project Description

The idea is to create and internally host a simple webpage with proper backend code allowing quicker and easier lookup for package maintainers and bug owners from OSC. Nothing fancy, just a page with search box and few radio button parameters to execute the lookup and display the results. Obviously it needs to fulfill security measures when it comes to the access to OSC on the service level and also user access rights to the search page itself (e.g. Okta). Currently the lookup can be done via terminal (which is OK), but there are security measures in place which makes the lookup difficult for some and granting an engineering VPN access just for the sake of this OSC lookup is a bit an overkill for people that do not need it for any other purpose.

Description

With rust 1.9 released, it should be possible to from now on bootstrap rustc from the previous version of rustc (so 1.10 can be built using 1.9 etc.). This means that it should now be possible to create a rustc package which no longer needs binary snapshots to build, meaning that we might even be able to submit rustc for inclusion in openSUSE Tumbleweed.

I had an application can't run on recent openSUSE for some time but it can run on openSUSE13.1 before. So I'd like to have a docker container (image) to run the application and learn some about docker container

Learn about developing a YaST plugin by creating a plugin to manage SSH Tunnels. Creating SSH port tunnels along with corresponding iptables rules is a useful technique for being able to access virtual machines on a remote host that only visible on a private network. Managing and maintaining these connections via scripts and tmux sesssions is less desirable than doing it through a nice UI like YaST.

Most large workloads such as SAP HANA require special, highly optimized configuration to run in a virtual machine. Virtual resources such as memory and CPU must be carefully configured to ensure optimum performance of the virtual machine workload. Default VM configuration created by tools such as virt-install are not optimized and often result in poor performance of large workloads due to memory access latencies and incorrect/incomplete information available to the VM's task scheduler.

Background

Given the number of different demands on our time and attention, it becomes increasing hard to focus and find the 'flow state' where a developer can be most productive. Interruptions due to chat notifications, email, and updater applets all break focus. Additionally, the desktop metaphor has in most cases failed to evolve as the browser and other MDI interfaces have become the focus for many users, and increased performance has allowed us to keep more tasks running and present on the desktop at once, presenting a higher cognitive load to the user.

Project Description

There are lots of interesting presentations happening all throughout SUSE on all manner of subjects. Presenters have found all kinds of creative ways to showcase their content using different shapes, templates, and other tools to convey important information. If you're looking to start a new presentation, the current slide templates are great to get started with but often time presenters have to look elsewhere for design inspiration. The goal of this project is to create a centralized "extended catalog" of Powerpoint and Impress templates, as a compliment to the existing templates, and make them available to SUSE employees through ImageRelay, that can serve as inspiration and templates for those looking to create rich and complex presentations based on examples built by fellow SUSE employees.

There are several open source private NAS solutions on the community today, There are a number of open source private NAS solutions on the market, and I'm going to compare their similarities and differences and analyze how they are implemented.

This mostly stems from

Paul McKenney's blog article inspired me to try apply his approach to kernel's memory allocation flags (gfp_flags) and how their combinations affect the decisions and actions taken during page allocation. Recent upstream development around these flags leads me to believe that the complexity is too high for me to reason about them and change the code without unintended changes in semantics. So it might be worth to let the computer do the hard work.

I would like to continue to work on a web UI for the Docker registry. I know we already got Portus which is based on Ruby on Rails, but I would prefer a project based on Golang with a singlepage application for the frontend based on RactJS. So because of the singlepage application we are forced to write proper APIs that gets consumed by the javascript application, beside that I also want to add a CLI client for managing the system.

There are already k9s and kustomize packages that exist for openSUSE today. These could be used as the source for these binaries in our rancher projects. By using them we would benefit from CVE fixes included in our distribution of the packages not in cluded upstream. However they are not providing arm package builds which are required.

PXE boot is a quick and easy way to install any SUSE/openSUSE product on a machine. It doesn't require any boot media and today virtually any system is capable of booting using PXE.

The architecture team maintains a tftp server with boot loaders, boot loader configurations and installation images for a variety of architectures and products. Currently in the Nuernberg office this PXE boot service is only available in the network of the architecture team. Since tftp is unicast, the server should be reachable from anywhere in the internal network. What is missing is the information about the address of the tftp server and the image to boot from this server.

The goal of this project is to get an overview of the containers, Kubernetes and CaaSP.

A lot of openSUSE bugs are filed with plenty details but without a specific assignee so often many days are lost between filing and a developer seeing the report.

There's a long standing request to extend the output of dmidecode to something that would be machine-readable. Something like an XML or JSON-based format. Unfortunately this can't be implemented right now because the output of dmidecode is generated by open-coded printfs as the DMI table is being parsed, with no intermediate structures nor temporary buffers.

Overview

Back in the late 90s to early 2000s, SiS graphics chips were fairly common and found in many low-end devices. Today, the chips are still capable enough for simple graphics needs, but the graphics cards were on PCI and AGP buses. They are not usable in modern computers.

Using the camsource and vlc packages as an example. If camsource is configured to use a given dev/video[n] device with a choice of resolution in the width and height fields of a camsource conf file then if camsource is the first application to access the device captured images are as-expected. However, if an application like vlc is used for the same device (and exited) before starting camsource (e.g. to check the view from the camera before starting camsource) and if the camera supports higher resolutions than used in the camsource configuration what occurs is that camsource will not setup the camera to use the configured resolution and has a broken view of the camera output based on the vlc chosen resolution chopped to the camsource configuration. For example, with camsource configuration set to use 640x480 on a camera that supports 720x480 and vlc is used and exited before camsource is started then the captured camsource images contain two non-continuous partial image blocks with a horizontal border dividing them. I assume either vlc fails to fully reset the device configuration when exiting or camsource fails to initialize the device "from scratch" when starting. The two applications use different video device APIs but the setup and cleanup for the camera in each case is a very limited part of the application's functionality.

I recently bought a Lioncast LK200 RGB keyboard which is a nice piece of hardware and has exactly the look and feel I want. All basic functions work well under Linux. Unfortunately the manufacturer only provides user software to upload/download profiles and control the LEDs for Windows. The device can be configured and operates autonomously from any OS but color setup is a PITA and it's very easy to factory-reset, and lose all config.

libkrun-sev allows running confidential workloads in a lightweight VM within a container. I'd like to experiment with libkrun-sev, the oci2cw image tool, and attestation using reference-kbs.

Enhance the YaST ncurses package installation to show the changelog of a package and the level of supportability (on SLE).

open-sTeam is a platform for cooperative work and cooperative learning developed at the university of paderborn in germany. the platform is being used at http://societyserver.org/ and is being developed further.

I want to learn Erlang and see if it makes sense to use it in the context of High Availability (it would certainly seem like it). As a learning project, I want to try to reimplement my koi project (https://github.com/krig/koi) in Erlang. Koi is a minimal cluster manager I wrote in C++.

Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python.I am very interested in it , Hope after learned Twisted,I can know how to use it and add some small tools or functions in our comparison tool,such as a tool can query information from our machine group uniformly,sent mail or IRC information during test and so on. Introduction of Twisted:https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/

DAPS, the "DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite" provides a tool set for easy creation and publication of DocBook sources on Linux. DAPS lets you create HTML (incl. webhelp), PDF, EPUB, man pages, and other formats with a single command. DAPS is used and developed by the SUSE documentation team and hosted on https://opensuse.github.io/daps/ .

I have a dusty Rasberry Pi 3 lying around and a book for beginners on the topic. The idea is to read through the book (https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Raspberry-Carrie-Anne-Philbin/dp/1118751256), learn basic electronics and get an idea what I would like to do with with the RasPi. I also plan to get some inspiration at the Prague Maker Faire this weekend.

Project Description

D-Bus is a easy to use message-oriented mechanism that allows communication between multiple processes running concurrently on the same machine. Any application running on the session bus can install a monitor hook over the bus to listen to all exchanged messages. Sensitive information such as mail passwords will be exchanged in plain text. A malicious software can easily listen and parse all those sensitive messages.

Elasto is a cloud storage client project that has been developed across a number of SUSE Hack Weeks.
It currently supports Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure REST storage protocols, and includes a POSIX like file API.

I have a few ideas of improvements for the delogo filter included in ffmpeg's libavfilter.

Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) is a method of HPC distributed programming developed by University of California - Berkeley. Programs implement the PGAS api via C or C++, and the Berkeley UPC compiler front-end will preprocess the source to be compiled by GCC and linked to the necessary libraries to make it work. PGAS is an alternative to the Message Passing Interface (MPI) generally used, although the UPC coexists well with the various MPI implementations.

Websh is:

Take the source rpm of a package (e.g. systemd), find the upstream tests, run them, store the results to a database that a web ui can access and display them. Now, do this automatically, for every qam-sle update.

RISC-V is awesome, Tumbleweed is awesome, chocolate cake is awesome. I'm planning to combine all of them in one project.

Description

Improve UML handling of segmentation faults in kernel mode. Although such page faults are generally caused by a kernel bug, it is annoying if they cause an infinite loop, or panic the kernel. More importantly, a robust implementation allows to write KUnit tests for various guard pages, preventing potential kernel self-protection regressions.

Project Description

In short, give second breath to http://hall.suse.de/bugs/defects.cgi.

Utilities like git and quilt support customized difftools in some ways. It's would be great if this is introduced to osc for commands like diff, pdiff, prdiff, rdiff, rq --diff, sr --diff.

The plan is to gather ideas about how SUSE can become a more integral part of the local tech community scene (in PRG, NUE, or other locations). As a person who has been involved in educating women about tech for some time, I am thinking of introductory workshops and meetups, aimed not necessarily only at female audience.

I want to use this Hackweek to explore (Functional) Reactive Programming to be able to use it in my day-to-day work.

Openstack Congress provides Policy as a service solution for Openstack based clouds. Policy based fulfillment makes it convenient to write policies for VM migrations and evacuations based on data monitored from various data sources. The aim of the project is to integrate the service to SUSE openstack cloud and evaluate the use of policies as a means to develop HA solutions.

The Nokia N900 is a versatile phone/tablet/mini-computer. While its specs are outdated by today's standards, it's still hard to find something equivalently useful to hack on-the-go.

HTTPBoot was added into UEFI SPEC since 2.5. It aims to replace PXE and provides more features. Actually, the concept of HTTPBoot is similar to PXE. It starts with the HTTP URL from the DHCP server and fetches the data with the HTTP protocol. The key difference between HTTPBoot and PXE is the support of DNS. With DNS, the firmware and the bootloader can resolve the domain name so it's possible to pass the well-known URL to download the image instead of the explicit IP URL. Besides, HTTP is designed to cross different domains, while tftp (PXE) is only for the local network.

Project Description

using perl's Inline::Python module, it should be possible to define openQA test modules in python instead of perl.

Reporting demands on SCC are increasing. Rather than creating hand crafted 'one-shot' reports in response to every request, this project aims to discover whether there is a better way.

Seagate has a "new" hard disk product called Kinetic, this kind of hard disk can connect to ethernet directly and no extra computer system needed. This project is to build a Kinetic Storage Gateway, to export a legacy NAS interface to clients (TV, mobile phone, etc..) and hide kinetic protocol details behind the gateway.

Create a public art installation around this delete your facebook video. Essential elements are a screen and speaker (loud enough to be heard on a busy street environment but not so loud as to draw noise complaints). Video on repeat.

Nightwatch.js is a Node.js based End-to-End (E2E) testing solution for browser based apps. It's based on Webdrive, meaning it's a very reliable way for me to test HAWK UI! It's a great opportunity to learn Webpack, PhantomJS nightwatch and to set up a TDD approach with any new features written with vue.js, the framework which we will be using in HAWK from now on.

The idea is getting a general knowledge of how QT Linguist works, and help FET with some translations.

I've been doing a terrible job of maintaining GNU Stow the last year, and there's quite a backlog of bugs, feature requests, support requests etc. So it's a good time to catch up on these.

The idea here is to study and understand how ephemeral storage for containers works and investigate if local storage could be avoided at all and Ceph used instead. Could new storage driver be developed to support Ceph storage:

define data types to collect informations about cameras and lenses to have a shared data store for lensfun and photo editors.

The Problem: many bugs filed for openSUSE go to the screening-team by default and often remain there for weeks, so that developers (who would be interested in analyzing or fixing these bugs) do not learn about them. However, the screening process is a hard one

How many times have you created quick and dirty script to generate C tables, parameterized code, etc. ?

Implement file system image build using the Builder infrastructure. The project will create additional builders for the ext filesystems laying the ground work for restructuring other filesystem builders.

For development purpose, it is very useful to have an infrastructure that can spot regressions based on commit base. Currently, our existing infrastructure runs mainly SPEC benchmark and is cumbersome from perspective of any further development. I would like to build a replacement that will combine buildbot framework with a custom web project (based on Django framework). The web project will be used both for submitting reports coming from a buildbot slave and for UI which will serve plots and data.

Taskotop is a tool to check what taskomatic is currently doing on a SUSE Manager server: it's a command line python tool. The core of the tool is to get some info about jobs that taskomatic is running with a fixed time cycle running some queries and showing results to the shell.

Build a paper folding machine capable of folding Skill Shot.

Implement a basic file search for a given OBS project. An example of basic functionality can already be found for Ubuntu or Debian. The goal is to implement,

After an internal call for help to take over software.opensuse.org deployment, I spend some time studying the code in order to find out what would it mean to take it over.

Idea is to have SUSE system with OpenZFS as root FS.

This hackweek I will focus on improving my drawing/painting skills.

A normal Xen server today has many single points of failure. Those can be reduced by disaggregating Dom0 into multiple domains (xenstore, driver domains, admin domain). Following this path to it's logical end will lead to a setup where the running domUs won't be depending on Dom0 any more, so Dom0 itself can be made restartable.

Last Hackweek I created a rescue system that is composed of a SUSE Linux kernel in an NSS (Named Saved System) and an xip2fs file system in a DCSS (Dis-Continguous Save Segment). This allows any Linux guest on a z/VM system to say "#cp ipl rescue" and have a fully functional SUSE Linux Enterprise system come up to allow them to fix what ever is wrong with the guest.

Updates and improvements to the android Skill Shot app.

Right now portusctl is a tool which is embedded into the Portus source code. This was done out of simplicity and with the hope that we would share as much code as possible with Portus itself. However:

Aim of this project is to create scenarios for manual deployment using limited feature set of mkcloud. Useful for situations when full mkcloud deployment is broken. It would help qam-cloud team a big time. We can reuse the result later in automation.

I would like to dedicate my time to the improvement of the Czech localization of KF5.

Check if it is possible to create a python application to aid autofocus micro adjustment on a DSLR. There are some commercial applications that are capable of that, such as Reikan FoCal (https://www.reikanfocal.com).

Finglonger is an internal tool used by the SUSE Manager team intended to make the life of the Round Robin Bug Guy easier. It was originally written by @fkobzik in Clojure.
