Time for technical housekeeping in the shared Gran Canaria office. For the last couple of weeks, the Cubieboard powering our "SUSE office in a box" has been unresponsive. I want to check why. Fix it, update the system, etc.

There is a lot to do in the openSUSE infrastructure land... So let's start, have a look at https://progress.opensuse.org/, take some tickets and try to resolve them as good as possible. There are also other interesting topics:

RPMlint upstream milestone 2.0 is shaping up but there are still ticket that needs to be tackled to finalize the release and enjoy the freshness of awesome QA on Tumbleweed/SLE16. In this hackweek we plan to look on various problems as described at:

Given that Leap is now available, as installation media, we are going to dedicate some time to release ready to use 'Just enough Operating

Learn more about network performance testing tools. I would like to get more fimilar with netperf and iperf. Try to find out what's different between netperf and iperf. And have a look at what's new in iperf3.

Implement improved ftrace infrastructure for PPC64LE (goal 1), s390x (goal 2), ARM64 (goal 3) that is able to support kGraft and doesn't have a performance impact. PPC64LE has an experimental (untested) patch by Dinar Valeev already, s390x works, but has a 10% performance impact on the system, ARM64 is entirely untouched.

This project is meant to practice python and download filtered 58 information

The YES Certification Tool Kit has long needed Video Tutorials for clean step-by-step tool usage and configuration. These will be done with video screen scrapes and audio overlay.

A web frontend for the mirrors in the mirrorbrain database to allow the mirror admins to manage their entries themself. You might know MirrorBrain already: our download redirector and Torrent/Metalink generator used u.a. on download.opensuse.org. It's really a great tool that plays a hidden key role inside the openSUSE infrastructure.

There are plenty of old games that were compiled for Linux - particularly in Loki times around 2000. Let's see whether they can be played on a modern distribution, and how many compatibility layers are required.

During Hack Week 7 I worked on an archive of Qt-based libraries. The goal was to easily make all available Qt libraries accessible to developers. Think CPAN for Qt. So I hacked on a web site and a command line client. There was a little bit of progress on the project since then, but with the upcoming KDE Frameworks 5 there will be quite a number of additional libraries available for Qt developers. This should be well represented in Inqlude as well. The coverage of Inqlude is also still not complete, and the tooling needs some improvement as well, especially regarding integration with distributions.

Project Description

The goal of this project is to create a lightweight multi-cloud metadata CLI for Public Cloud environments. There are cloud specific packages that exist but they all have different API and many are developed in Python which is quite heavy for cloud images, especially containers. Leveraging a compiled language will help with keeping the CLI lightweight.

Have several raspberry pis at hand, and also bought a Zodiac a while ago, will setup a software define network with ryu. Also will check on package possibility for ryu in opensuse 1 Firmware update:

I want to gain some knowledge about CI and devops. I wrote a script to generated configuration files for pxe server and slp sever.

Circuits is a coding marathon to challenge developers with several programming questions of varying difficulty level over 9 days. https://www.hackerearth.com/challenges/competitive/june-circuits-19

Let's write a decent replacement for software-o-o. We want to choose the right technologies for the project, as technologies and missing volunteers is where we failed this time.

Learn about boot manager, including trusted computing, disk encryption, EFI, storage and more

There is always something to do if you run the infrastructure for such a big project like openSUSE.... Our Admin wiki currently lists over 80 machines - and while we already "salted" some of them, there is always room for improvement and room to learn something new just by making your hands dirty and diving into the administrator role for a machine.

Project Description

This idea has been partially implemented for JeOS images, where we are collecting some data from the images whenever a new build ends up in openQA. For instance, https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2419705#step/image_info/9 is collecting the size of the image, as well as total number of RPMs, the list of RPMs with their size and some filesystem information.
