Improving the openSUSE Websites

Create an OpenVPN gateway based on SLES 12 JeOS Starting next month, I'll be working remotely from my home office. In order to simplify my setup, I'd like to have a gateway that connects my machines to the Nuremberg and Prague offices through OpenVPN.

The following improvements for kanku are planned:

Desktop notifications

Let's containerize SUSE Manager! This will open up different (and interesting) scenarios: - From a development perspective: learn about all the components that constitute SUSE Manager

Learn tinycc (tcc). Fix bugs, write features, etc. Hack on tcc.

Inspired by a conference talk I've attended a while ago (and my own struggles when trying to create something pretty basic just recently) I want to learn more about SVGs in general and their powers for modern web development in particular. Over the week, I want to

There are various home assistant solutions out there but all of them transfer your voice to some server for processing. This is a no-go for sane people although the technology is interesting and could be useful. There are various open source tools out there to achieve the same result but there is no turn key open source self hosted solution. The goal of this project is to implement a way to have a home assistant running locally - ideally with one command. The project that is closer to the desired result is Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai/). It is very easy to run the client side components using one docker command but their backend is running remotely. All the tools they use though are open source so it only needs one to do the work and package them in a nice little docker-compose file (https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/about-mycroft-ai/faq#can-mycroft-run-completely-offline-can-i-self-host-everything).

Project Description

Kanidm is a modern, fast, opensource IDM aiming to be an alternative to projects like 389-ds, freeipa, samba 4 and others. Inspired by many identity as a services, many features of this project aim to advance the state of what is possible with opensource security and IDM today.

Project Description

zswap [1] is a linux kernel component that provides in-memory compression for swap pages. It already provides a limited form of deduplication: if a page is filled with the same value (e.g. all-zeroes) then only that value is kept instead of compressing the contents.

Lua is used as an embedded programming language or an extension language in many system and applications, I want know more about it.

Ionic + AngularJS + Node.js (http://ionicframework.com/) staff.suse.de: demo

As a counter-program to the daily usage of dynamic languages, I want to use this Hackweek to explore the web stack provided by very good static typed languages: - Haskell (e.g. Servant)

The osc16 videos were released on http://media.ccc.de - a web frontend for video presentations from conferences. 'media' consists of the following parts:

Create a belt buckle with integrated cribbage board. * Laser-cut or 3d-print the surface (ideally this would be CNC milled from metal but I think that is too ambitious for this week)

1. currently when you navigate to Test Results page - it will load everything before show you the page. I plan to change this model into "load on demand" approach
2. Test Details page currently show you thumbnails for all modules. Want to add expand/collapse functionality for thumbnails - by default you will not see them for passed modules. But you will have ability to expand them. Also I will add "Expand All"/"Collapse All"

Sorbet is a gradual type checker for Ruby. Ruby is a dynamic language, which is great for reducing overhead for small

Well, we often stuck in YaST team with knowledge what users really use and how much. But we have yast logs in many bug reports. And from those logs we can see which modules users use the most. So goal of this project is to write script that analyze given tarballs with logs and print result about usage of yast clients.

Project Description

klp-convert is a tool that is trying to be merged into the Linux Kernel to help livepatching non exported functions. Since kallsymsoneachsymbol and kallsymslookup_name were unexported, klp-convert appeared to solve the issue by creating relocation entries for non-export functions in the final livepatch module.

Project Description

Based on SQLite3.

Write a simple command line tool for getting the open pull request from github and put it into a trello card. The tool should periodically update a list of pull request. In addition it would be great to have a connection between the trello card and github pull request.

In order to have complete cloud experience on Power platform it needs some missing pieces to be available: * SLEShammer image (SLE11-> SLE12)

Task: - Learn Twopence structure

I want to play with Cassandra. The idea is to use Cassandra as the backend of a Job Reporting System. GitHub repository for this project:

openQA has a well earned reputation as a 'full system' testing tool, able to test a system end-to-end from the operating system to it's applications on a number of different platforms and architectures, including VM's & Bare Metal. But one area of weakness is it's usefulness as a testing tool for developers or packagers. openQA can easily test a package once it's INSIDE a distribution, but how do you test that package BEFORE submitting it to the distribution?

Matrix.org is a project to create a protocol and server implementation to replace IRC. Unlike closed tools like Slack, or even open Slack clones like Rocket.chat, Matrix is not focused on a web-client only, but on the protocol to cover all types of clients (text, desktop, web), it is federated (no single server), and it covers good IRC integration (the public matrix server is even on Freenode), and it adds features that Slack clones have like persistent history, pictures, etc.

When doing the backport, I sometimes spend some time to check if the commit comes from a patch series and list all commits of a patch series. So I'd like to create a tool for doing this quickly.

Milkytracker is a free software multi-platform music tracker for composing music in the MOD and XM module file formats.

Why?

Although CNCF projects are almost exclusively related to Linux containers, some ideas, like wrapping all the services into network proxies to create a distributed data-plane and enable true observability, could perhaps be explored for some kind of backport in complex legacy distributed systems, like... say... S4/HANA?! I don't even know if this is feasible, but trying won't hurt... just stand at a safe distance from the cluster!

Project Description

The DMI table may contain BIOS-based error information. Currently dmidecode is not able to decode it. However an experimental patch was contributed a few years ago, which could be used as a starting point to enable this feature.

Project Description

Carrier is a project with the goal to make Kubernetes feel like a Platform as a Service. It's main goal is to simplify the deployment of applications on Kubernetes for the software developer.

Project Description

My current dashboard for solar panel status runs on a raspberry PI and it is based on lighthttp and a couple of shell and python scripts, but it is very ugly.

Goal for this Hackweek: Get familar with GNOME OS, Set up a local openQA test environment for GNOME OS, Get familar with the existing test cases

Project Description

I find myself often rerunning the same preprocessing tasks on perf captures, like one-liner scripts to merge/split per-cpu data, time-slice them, filter for specific events and finally plot charts (flamegraphs, heat map, ...). Each time one of these tools run perf-script, just loading 30s worth of events from a large machine can consume precious seconds in my modern laptop. The idea is to provide an interactive tool a la GDB and drgn where we can load the events once and manipulate them interactively to generate different visualizations.

Make an interactive wizard that helps to go through configurations of mutt / mbsync / msmtp / notmuch / mailcap / links etc.

I am a beginner: I have read 1½ books on Haskell. I want to practice. Haskell is a purely functional, lazily evaluated, strongly typed (with

By analysing a VNC session, we can create a draft of an openQA testcase (detecting keystroke, mouse click and generating fullscreen needles). The project is to :

Over the last year or so I have developed an IRC bot to work with the chat service of twitch.tv, providing user engagement functionality. I would like to expand my knowledge of the practical application of Docker by containerizing the bot, and creating an API and web service to allow people to configure and deploy an instance of the bot for their own Twitch channel.

Just an excuse to learn more about antlr and parsing in general. Update Implemented a very simple interpreter https://github.com/mateiw/littlebasic

I planned to write a GUI for mokutil since I started the project. I guess now it's time to do that.

The Goal is... to connect all the sources of information from our houses to the lighting system to produce a dynamic home environment where information is streamed to the users through a noninvasive and disrupted channel and, this way, avoiding a chain of human micro mental interruptions, like the ones that we have during all day produced by the mobile apps notifications and/or wall panels sounds or blinks and that causes anxiety, stress, and human disconnection.

Future of tools supporting editors in dealing with particular languages is in my opinion in the LSP protocol. Therefore I look with a bit of worry on the fact that there is no good LSP server based on the top of rope. python-language-server uses it a bit internally, the Microsoft Language Server for Python is in C#, so it is completely something different. The goal of this project is to write a very simple nucleus of the LSP server based solely on rope for the language analysis and actions, which would be at least able to do “jump to the definition of a symbol”.

Project Description

I started developing Loggee as a CLI to interact with Board Game Geek and it's API. I wanted to have an easy way to see my games and log my plays in the site, and as a bonus, learn more of the functional programming language Elixir.

Project Description

I have a Linux Powered Robot ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMz01IRAgZI&t=1s ) Currrently it uses an odroid C1 a very old version of tumbleweed and uses old python that may need porting.

Project Description

The idea is to learn about the PlayStation 1 CPU and GPU.

Project Description

I need to learn how queueing disciplines work. I need to learn how to use the /usr/sbin/tc tool to change traffic control settings. This is a do-it-yourself project. I do not offer nor require assistance.

Project Description

The main goal is to enable the use of plain dm-crypt (as btrfs makes LVM2 unnecessary overhead) and a separate ephemeral key for the swap partition.

Especially when using multiple extensions, selecting release notes of a specific extension is not easy (scrolling the tab). Put it to a pop-up (like help) while not blocking the package installation.

<p>kGraft allows to patch kernel at runtime. It implements a consistency model that allows to modify semantic of functions. e.g. fix lock order. For this, we need to find a safe place when a process/thread might start using the new code.</p> <p>Userspace tasks are switched on the kernel boundary when syscall is called/returns or when a signal is proceed.</p>

I will look into libmicro and learn some skill to analyse the results. And then I'll apply the function to IO test and so on.

Want to build a server which can help us to manage some resource. The functions contain : Reserve, Lock, Release, Timer, Change,Add,Cancel,Delete etc.

We have a known defect exists in Staging Project process, according to the staging project design(in-ring/non-ring), the requests of a application stack can be dispatched to letter staging and adi staging both, in case the request staged in adi staging relies the request staged in letter staging which may causes sometimes the request in adi staging will not be checked-in at the same round, this leads that application stack have different version in TW and those package had request left in adi staging may does not work well as version unmatched to other library. We see this issue happened on Qt5 stack; KDE Applications, etc. For example: a Qt5 stack update, libqt5-qtbase will be staged in a letter staging however libqt5-qtwebview will be staged in a adi staging, once libqt5-qtbase be accepted that libqt5-qtwebview won't be accept in the same round due to it can not be built before libqt5-qtbase merged to Factory but after - 2-phase update. Therefore we need a way to handle those cases to reduce the gap between Letter staging and ADI staging. The concept of this idea:

Many of the Uyuni / SUSE Manager web UIs are still based on the no longer maintained Struts framework (version 1.2!) and implemented as JSP pages, while we added newer features based on the Spark framework and React. For me there is a vision of using only one technology stack (especially just one web framework, frontend framework and template engine) eventually, so it is about time to get rid of the old stack. While this is surely a huge effort, why not start with a new login page and then go from there rewriting other pages one by one? Things to look at in particular:

Project Description

Currently flatpak uses appstream-glib to parse and generate appstream files however, appstream-glib is no longer maintained and this has resulted in many features not being propagated to flatpak. There is currently 2 prs porting flatpak & flatpak-builder to appstream.

Project Description

The Open Source watch Bangle.js 2 has built in GPS, so let's try to use that for offline navigation (i.e. generate a list of waypoints in the Bangle.js App Loader and show the next event (e.g. "Turn left into Example St. in 80 meters").

The docker way of updating containers is to build a new image with the updated binaries and files, which creates a security concern. The docker way is not anymore running "zypper update" in the containment but to update the whole image in the image registry (hub docker if we are talking about public registry) and then pull the image update from there, stop the outdated containments and replace them by starting new containments based on the new image.

oscar is short for osc sugar, it will be a collection of little wrapper scripts on top of the openSUSE build service command-line tool that make it easier to use.

Behavior-Driven Development is a process to follow in software development. I want to learn how BDD testing framework works. Learn how the pieces fall together and how frameworks are put together, as well as best practice of BDD.

Banana-pi R2 has quite a good upstream support in the kernel, but lacks a u-boot support. The idea is to sit down at get working on that. This would be a good starting point to get u-boot support for other Mediatek SoCs as well.

What is meCoffee? The meCoffee is a small PID that can be used to upgrade an Espresso machine with some new features. It supports mostly the Rancilio Silvia. The initiator of meCoffee is starting to Open Source his work and has already done so by opening up the meBarista application for Android, iOS and Chrome.

Well the see of openSUSE Infrastructure has been unrest and need our attention. I would like to invite you for this cruise trip.

I want to create a python script that will create the MU json we use already automatically. Essentially fill in this template and this

<p> Supporttools are great and useful utilities to help support and development

Google recently open-sourced its Artificial Intelligence/Numerical Computing library called TensorFlow. I would like to use it to help us do a bug report clustering. A bug report often contains lots of comments. In order to find the similar bugs from different customers quickly and intelligently, I would like to choose a proper clustering algorithm and implement a model with TensorFlow, which can be deployed on a PC smoothly.

The theory behind the partitioning proposal of yast2-storage-ng is that all possible distributions of partitions in the disk are evaluated and the best one, according to this criteria, is chosen. But I have found several examples in which is hard believe that the result is actually the optimal distribution of partitions. So I want to invest some time checking if the error is on my side and the code is indeed proposing the best solution and, if that's not the case, improving the decision making of the code.

Hackweek is a place for fun and things and also great things and a lot of fun. Some things don't require a reason - they are fun, that's all to it. Here goes a small competition with a lot of fun to it. Find Klaas in the office.

or how to replace git push heroku master and cf push with Kubernetes PaaS has made deployment of applications very easy. Kubernetes has made deployment of applications very flexible but not easy. There are efforts to add the "easy" part to Kubernetes. That would make Kubernetes a good alternative to PaaS. With so many public cloud Kubernetes offerings nowadays, it would be nice if one could simply pick up their preferred cloud and have an app running in minutes. This HackWeek project will be and exploration of the available tools that can make Kubernetes as friendly as a PaaS for deployment but also how much Kubernetes can help development.

Project Description

Last hackweek I rather hacked up Qactus to include a useful dashboard for packagers as can be seen below. While this mostly works, it has some issues and the code is in no way at a point where it would be acceptable upstream.

Etherpad (etherpad.org) is a nice solution to share documentation online, with many plugins and capabilities to scale out.

Project Description

I would like to be able to give my fingers a well deserved rest from time to time, so I'd love to be able to either control my computer with voice or simply dictate to it, for writing emails and so on, and if possible... even writing some code using my voice!

Pebble smartwatch is a nice gadget I own and I'd like to start playing with it at the code level. One goal would be to create a SUSECon / conference application for it, allowing to choose which talks I will attend and make sure the watch will notify me in advance a session will begin.

Just for Fun! Basically, it would be a keyboard using a straight telegraph key for taping Morse Code.

This is preparation/accompanying project to my school thesis. Fontconfig is library that keeps database of fonts installed in system and gives applications ability to query it. Fontconfig is currently searching the database in naive way and can be quite slow if there is many fonts installed. Most applications make several font queries when starting and fontconfig is slowing down their start.

Why Knowledge is only useful if it is accessible.

YaST dumps quite information to its own log file (placed at /var/log/YaST2/y2log). That info is very useful to understand and discover what is happening when an issue appears. All YaST modules write into this log file, and the brand new yast2-storage-ng is not an exception. Some improvements are necessary regarding to the logging of this new module: * Libstorage-ng is the C++ library powering the rewrite of the YaST storage stack. For using libstorage-ng from yast2-storage-ng in a more Ruby-like way, we created a wrapper that provides several features like automatic downcasting. But the current downcasting mechanism used by the wrapper causes libstorage-ng to introduce a lot of noise in the YaST logs. It would be nice to reduce that noise.

The experience while navigating throughout the UI of Suse Manager it's not that nice. Whenever we navigate to a new page, the whole page gets refreshed and recreated, even when half of it didn't change a thing, for instance, the menu, topbar, and the notifications WebSocket connection, which in my opinion doesn't provide a smooth experience. This project has the goal to test out an automatic way to transform the Suse Manager UI into a Single Page Application.
