Try to family with Kubevirt in SLE

Project Description

Jupyter is a python project that provides a notebook interface for different REPLs.

Tahoe-LAFS is an open-source decentralized cloud storage system. It distributes your data across multiple servers. Even if some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire file store continues to function correctly, preserving your privacy and security. It provides a provider-independent security where the storage provider does not have access to the unencrypted data because all data is encrypted, erasure-coded, and hashed before leaving the client's machine thus preserving confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data.

With all the changes in the qa_virtauto world, our local CI testing has become rather fragile. This project is all about stabilizing the CI testing and ensuring all builds are fully tested - without manual intervention. :)

Small non profit organisations or activist groups need a Web presence that is easy to maintain by several authors. When using a CMS they do not have the resources to secure the CMS from the various possible attacs most CMSes are notorious for. Defacement or placing malicious content can damage the reputation of such non profit organisations. The solution would be to combine an of the shelf CMS with a static web server that is hosted on a different IP address. The authors would access the CMS through a kind of remote access gateway e.g. openvpn) where access can be well secured with certificates or even hardware tokens.

Develop a proof of concept frontend based on React and Material-UI as an alternative to the JSP/Struts based frontend currently available.

...because openQA isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Features I'd like to implement: * Built in search on obs, with one-click branch checkout,

Project Description

We're always struggling at home with the lunches and dinners. Most of the time we realize that by the end of the week that our diet has diverged from what WHO and many other organizations suggest. My idea is to create a scalable database of meals, a web interface and some logic that generates a balanced meal plan for a 5-day or 7-day week.

Project Description

Iguana installer/rescue initrd uses containers for all its functionality. However there is incredible development in WebAssembly (WASM) space where WASM images uses the same infrastructure as OCI images.

In previous Hackweeks, we've gone to warp speed in our virtualization CI testing through: - Porting libvirt-tck to SUSE environments

A utility to make beautifully printed maps from OpenStreetMap data. Repository at https://github.com/federicomenaquintero/lamaperia

Basically $topic, as of the latest release of ceph, we have some not so trivial support to pull off something like this at least for metadata, need to see if data sync is also permitted, and then probably hook it to sync to AWS itself

port notmuch/muchsync to android, with some java ui on top

There are customer use cases where sharing information via internet or uploading data somewhere is not acceptable for security reasons: this avoid the usage of some tool like the most famous Google Analytics, and prevent developers from understanding how the web application is used by the customers. I don't want to reinvent the wheel and re-implement a copy of Google Analytics, but getting inspired from it, the goal is to reuse information that we already have to extrapolate an analysis of the WebApp customer usage. I started this project with the aim of learning a programming language where I am not so comfortable yet (python). The purpose of this Hack Week project is to bring this basic tool at a minimal stable and usable state with the purpose of analyze the usage of a WebApp in scenarios where the WebApp is used in an internal network only (offline, disconnected from the internet).

Very often people find themselves wanting to store secrets in a way that either they can recover even if (for instance) their house burns down, or allow friends and family to recover if they pass away. Existing solutions to this problem are: * Too complicated to use for ordinary people.

Project Description

Lightweight Kubernetes- K3s. Production ready, easy to install, half the memory, all in a binary less than 100 MB.

Current Situation [bsc#1201271]

SUSE HA NFS Storage Guide [1] provides a resilient NFS implementation to the clients even if the NS server node fails over within the cluster. However, it is Active-Passive of the two node cluster.

Project Description

I want to do a port of the jetpac videogame to the NES. I have already done the first steps during my spare time, but a full week focusing just on this would be awesome.

This Hackweek I would like to finish enhancing of the mysql-packaging git repository [1]. This improvement mainly consists of scripts for a kind of simple continuous integration and git hooks to enforce a few policies for our project. If there is a time I will also take a look at the mysql package itself and check if there is anything to improve. [1] https://github.com/openSUSE/mysql-packaging

I heard that MVC is at the top of design pattern. I'm not sure it's true .

Adding some API documentation for Crowbar, which is still missing. There are some API comments along with the Rails controller methods, but some of them are outdated. The goal is to have a complete API documentation on a static webpage and while looking over the API maybe do some improvements here and there.

I want to understand the basics and architecture of KMS / DRM drivers in the kernel (also in mesa, but this project is more about the kernel-side). I will read docs and attempt to implement a virtual kernel-mode-setting driver (vkms) as described in Documentation/gpu/todo. This would be a KMS driver for a fake modesetting graphics device, just using normal system memory. This can be useful for learning, but judging from dri-developer discussions, also useful for testing hotplug races, plane blending and finding other KMS/DRI infrastructure bugs. Some items to implement:

I will implement the ReaR upstream issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1399

The subject says it. Learning about DHT seems like a fun project.

To ease debugging cgroup relates issues this suggests to: - list cgroup hierarchy tree(s),

I want to be able to create some 3D printing models for 3D printers. So starting to search for a good introduction and try it out...

Description

Installing an maintaining ceph as storage solution needs a lot of expertise. Rook in combination with Kubernetes tries to make this more convenient. But this is only true if you are familiar with Kubernetes and its peculiarities.

Project Description

The keys in db or mok can be used to verify boot loader and kernel binary for booting. But upstream kernel doesn't trust them for enrolling to trusted keyring because they are enrolled outside the boundaries of kernel. Which means that IMA can not use db/mok keys for verification.

Project Description

Aldi was/is selling the Medion Life P4000 Smartwatch, which is currently only supported by Medion's proprietary Fitness Pro App. It would be great to add support for this Smartwatch to Gadgetbridge, so that it can be used on a Android Smartphone without proprietary apps.

Project Description

Explore ChatGPT and it's ability to generate and modify source code in various programming languages.

Project Description

software.opensuse.org is a web-service part of openSUSE project which give users can search and download RPM packages from openSUSE Build Service, it has capability to mark package is released from the official distributions as a official release package, or get the package from a unsupported project, like EOL'ed distribution and/or user's personal project. I'd like dig into software-o-o source code, try to fix some known issues, like the search result from Leap 15.5 and Leap 15.4 official project has not recognized to be an official release package and are listed in unsupported projects.

Project Description

The project is about getting more familiar technically with the openQA code and checking for improvement options in dependence of the expected impact and effort.

Project Description

Create a set of container images for serving a mock git server and mock git clients in a Kubernetes cluster that can be used as building blocks for an interactive git playground.

Project Description

There's a project experimenting with verifying GCC optimizations using SMT solvers. Currently there is only one person working on this project. Analyzing compilers with SMT solvers seems like a cool new topic to me. Let's see how we could help.

There are so many bugs which is related to mod_nss like bnc#863518 or bnc#897712.

I would like to have a programming language that has the performance characteristics of C, but integrates some programming language features that I like from other languages. My first goal would be to start with a language that is very limited in scope and compiles directly to C, and step by step add to it. There are a lot of programming languages, but very few that handles memory as an explicit resource. To be able to explicitly manage memory is a very powerful technique and essential for applications such as high performance video games.

OBS source services can currenlty run on the developer workstation and some of them also on the OBS server side. The goal of this project is to allow everybody running source services as part of their build job. Therefore we will introduce a new "buildtime" mode. The OBS server will pull in the needed service packages and run them before calling rpmbuild or friends.

<p>There are numerous testing tools for the GFX stack available - the oldes being the xtest suite. At the same time, we are still lacking automated test environments for the funktionalities of DRM, Mesa and X. Ideally the tests should be performed automatically and unattended and the results should be compared to previous runs to detect regressions.</p> <p>Research what tools exist to date and how they can be employed.</p>

Some input is still needed about the keybindings, which ones to use. see https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar-core/pull/509

meson[0], a replacement to autotools, is very popular nowadays. It's a lot faster than autotools as far as what I hear and see. Besides lots of GNOME projects has been ported to meson. As one of the maintainers of GNOME Logs[1], I need learn meson and try to port Logs to meson for faster building. *[0] http://mesonbuild.com/

During regular L3 work I often don't find enough time to work on the command line disk partitioner parted which I maintain. Changes often directly affect yast-storage(-ng) and libstorage(-ng). @aschnell opens bugs faster than I can solve them. Upstream is often slow and often wants patches differently.

Setup a SUMA Server in a VM on my workstation. Playing around to find out, how it works and how to add new functionality (like sapconf or saptune). Learning a little bit SALT will - hopefully - be the nice side effect.

QDirStat in General

Since SUSE Manager doesn't scale out and stacking it into another pyramid of susemanagers won't help here, the real architectural changes needs to be done to achieve true scale-out of this product. This hackweek project is about how to Turn SUSE Manager into a cluster. Areas to be tackled:

Graphing stats from a remote solar MPPT charge controller

Goal for this Hackweek

Project Description

Create views of OpenQA Test results in Grafana, grouped i.e. for Version, Builds, Flavor, Arch, in order to have a global view list, but also capability to explore details of each test, for a more integrated faults investigation environment.

A new web UI for saltstack, possibly the future of systems management. The official salt UI halite is now officially retired and saltpad is still very young and in alpha state. In addition to the creation of a new frontend to salt, the goal could be to work towards a full replacement for existing systems management solutions like spacewalk, including the migration (minionification) of systems from there.

I will read about a book to understand linux kernel deeper. It is a heavy book, may not finish in this hackweek, but i will continue to finish it. The book name is "go deeper into linux kernel"

Currently I am using openSUSE Leap 42.2 as base system on the laptop where I do my daily work (Dell Latitude E7470). As a YaST developer my system is a bit broken (as you may guess) and updates are not possible. So it is time to start from scratch. The idea is to adopt some user friendly system for security copies, migrate to Tumbleweed, make extensible usage of virtual machines and try to stay the base system as clean as possible.

Seastar is an advanced, open-source C++ framework for high-performance server applications on modern hardware. Seastar is used in Scylla, a high-performance NoSQL database compatible with Apache Cassandra Ceph community is currently working on migration to this project as well.

QLogo is a UCBLogo-compatible implementation of the Logo language using Qt and OpenGL. QLogo was designed with the language interpreter integrated into the GUI. For Hackweek 18 I want to separate the interpreter from the GUI so that QLogo can be run from the command line or from a shell script.

The monitoring in our internal infrastructure needs some love and attention. I want to spent some time during this hack week on the monitoring by fixing old checks, implementing new checks and making sure that those are configured and installed via configuration management. Checks I have in mind for instance are:

• Check and verify SGML tools
• Parse and validate mostly markup-less files with SGML tools

Project Description

I want for long time to get my hands dirty with go and webassembly. we have (openqa-mon)[https://github.com/grisu48/openqa-mon] which is a monitoring tool for OpenQA.

Project Description

HA team servers deployed many services, including common services like http/ftp/database/jenkins, customized project like HA jenkins CI automation testing framework. Some of them also worked as virtual hosts for HA CI testing. Most of the services are directly deployed on host, some of them managed/protected by pacemaker based HA stack. Few services are still use docker compose that prevent migrate to podman. Some servers are still in SLE12SP2 due to the time consuming re-deployment.

I'll integrate my existing smart devices at home to Home Assistant server that I set up a while ago.

We will have a series of short lightning talks to present what we have accomplished at Hack Week 12. In Nürnberg this will happen on Friday 17th Apr at 12:30 as part of the lunch session in the all-hands area. Lunch is served at 12:00, so you have a bit of time to settle in and satisfy your immediate needs before we go into presentation mode. If you would like to tell a bit about what you did at Hack Week 12, please leave a comment (preferably with a link to your projects), and I'll add you to the schedule.

Look at static code analysis and code coverage for a C++ project, in this case libstorage-bgl-eval. This could include:

GFS2 and OCFS2 are 2 cluster filesystems in linux kernel. We also support GFS2, though most of our customers use OCFS2 as we recommend. Last hackweek, from

Remote working makes you face some "challenges" regarding networking setup. One of them can be reproduced as: 1- download a big file

A common task in L3 is to find a difference between package release X+1 which is reported as broken by customer and X which was working fine. OBS does not provide easy mapping between their revisions and package release numbers. It has "rdiff" command for comparing two packages from different projects, but it does not allow to select only one file or specify different revisions for compared packages. The goal is to prepare script that allows following checks:

Objective

Crystal [1] is a new language with a syntax heavily inspired by Ruby, but with statically type check and compiled! Its motto is "Fast as C, slick as Ruby", so good reason to start looking at it. I would like to play with it, check the powerful of its compiler and the C-bindings mechanism to call native libraries.

OpenPGP Card is an ISO/IEC 7816-4 compatible smartcard that is integrated with many OpenPGP functions, including signature, encryption, and authentication. It provides an trustful computing environment isolated from the host computer, to guard one's private keys from attacks and exposures. ZetiControl in Germany is the first manufacturer of OpenPGP Card based on BasicCard platform. Since then, compatible USB tokens have also been manufactured, such as Yubikey and Nitrokey. Currently for compatible USB tokens, there are two approaches of OpenPGP Card implementation:

The idea behind this is to have a application, which observe the usage of AWS instances and later other providers like azure and google. This could be used with public cloud tests in openQA.

In the other day, there were questions about to migrate high availability solution into OpenStack. With that context, there is no question to run the critical pacemaker and corosync processes inside the cloud. There is no difference between VMs and bare-metals in regarding to the dependency management system for both systemd and pacemaker, which is quit different than the situation of the container world. However,

This is kinda continuation of my last hackweek project - learning python3 the parcical way. The goal is again to replace existing bash script which will generate 3 node KVM HA cluster on my workstation and automate quite a boring part of HA regression testing.

https://gitlab.suse.de/l3ms/RES-weather/ needs some improvements, e.g. manual generation of statistics and reports.

Project Description

A sentiment analyzer is a software that can distinguish the emotion of the text. The programming language will be either python or C++. (This is the first hackweek for this project.)

Project Description

Some time ago I started writing an i8080 emulator as an exercise to learn more about Rust, Emulators and low-level understanding of how CPUs work. I never finished it though. Since the Gameboy is basically a slightly modified version of the i8080 for this Hackweek I want to use the existing skeleton that I have and write a full emulator for the Gameboy CPU.
