From the kernel-source git repository for SUSE kernels we can extract the people who backported a patch and the files a patch touches. Use this information to build a database for which paths are touched by which developers and write a tool to find the most relevant people for a given source path or upstream patch.

My friends have been using a supybot bot to help organizing weekly football matches. Over the years, there was demand for moving it to Telegram and supybot-telegram-bridge was born, allowing using the IRC bot in Telegram.

The result for xfstests in osd seems always red[1], but actually it's only a few test fail in a group(around 1/50). If we want to keep use openQA to handle those test, we need some enhancement for that. Try to enhancement test result to make it shows in a better way. - Make more reasonable group for those test

Diagnosing issues with stalling desktop application (or a whole desktop environment) is difficult these days as the application often requires multiple processes interconnected with sockets, pipes, futexes, etc. to work and often it is not clear which process is the one responsible for blocking the whole ecosystem. The idea of this project is to write a tool that gathers information about processes in the system and for each process that is sleeping display the resource (file, socket, futex) it is waiting on as well as the process that is likely responsible for unblocking (feeding pipe, sending data to socket, unlock futex, ...). Once the information is gathered, we can also plot it for graphical displaying with tools like graphviz.

Project Description

Just have play with bpftrace on some real kernel bugs.

The bootloader menu has to be able to list snapshots created with tagged attribute by snapper or other tools. These attributes control how snapshots are displayed and organized in the boot menu. All the changes are reflected in real time, that is when a snapshot is created it's ready to boot without the hassle to call grub2-mkconfig to refresh menu. The operation and navigating to the snapshot is intuitive and out of box and booting is even more easy to hit the button.

Project Description

A visualization tool that directly digests ftrace function traces and provides easier to understand timing diagrams with the ability to quickly look up functions from within the program.

Description

Use the internal documentation (wiki, confluence, etc.) to train AI to be able to answer questions from developers about product architecture, hr, it, etc.

Description

Try to make libzypp a bit more flexible when you try to use it but there's already something using it and you get a message like:

If you want to use the full potential of SSDs as primary (and possibly only) storage on SLE or openSUSE systems, you are supposed to perform several configuration settings to make it fly, including:

Salt – The most intelligent, powerful and flexible open source software for remote execution, configuration automation, cloud control and event-driven orchestration

in https://gohugo.io/ you can easily write custom themes via templates for creation of static websites

There are many fun peripherials that you can connect to a RPi but PC users are not left out either

Can we improve the remote hackweek experience for remote or non NUE people at SUSE?

Put together a collection of ideas and resources to mentor people managers on how to make better decisions:

Find where an openQA module is running

Description

Moving objects to a new container is a problem everyone in R&D has faced at least once in his life. It requires a very advanced algorithm to pack the many different objects (which are generally heterogeneous, with different uses, types, weights and sizes), before the packs can then be transferred to the new container, generally through a dedicated bus. We can identify some usual cases:

Yast team has a great experience in automating tasks that can be done by machines in order to save time that can be used better. We usually use Jenkins for running these jobs.

The idea is to produce a standalone, independent tool to save and restore windows positions and sizes, analogous to a similar feature in KDE desktop. This would be handy in various lightweight desktop enviroments.

The Atom Editor

[MTUI][MTUI] is a tool used by QA-Maintenance in testing maintenance updates. Saddled with a host of questionable choices for its interfaces and implementation, it includes a number of difficult-to-fix bugs and hostility toward change. While not the first choice for me, the time's come to scout out a different approach. Welcome SMRT.

More work on Wolffish prototype here

Quite a big part of openQA is testing the installation of SUSE products. All of them are installed by YaST. So a big quantity of problems found during openQA testruns are YaST problems.
