Project Description

Harvester CLI is a command line interface tool written in Go, designed to simplify interfacing with a Harvester cluster as a user. It is especially useful for testing purposes as you can easily and rapidly create VMs in Harvester by providing a simple command such as:

While normally data is passed to linuxrc (including an AutoYaST profile), modern auto-install tools like Ignition from CoreOS support a very interesting method: the QEMU Firmware Config device. This allows to read from inside the VM a blob by reading /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_name/opt/keyname. The driver is included in recent Linux kernels.

The situation of maintained ansible roles for boring server stuff like setting up a LEMP stack (Linux, nginx, mariadb, php) is dire and I would like to improve that. This project is about creating a handful of ansible roles with focus on * Fully supported in openSUSE (Leap and Tumbleweed)

A frame work for automatically analysis the result of the performance test. The tool can be used manully as well as used throught openAPI.

As DBus a main component in Linux user space, in this hackweek I plan to learn more about it. Tentative Plan: a node js binding for sd-bus interface offered by systemd (available in SLE12)

https://gitlab.com/JanZerebecki/transparency-log-watcher Trillian is used for Reproducible Source, Build and Certificate Transparency. So it could be used to log the input to OBS and the build results and make zypper check it before installing an rpm. But currently clients wouldn't detect if the log shows them a different version than anyone else. See if there is a way so this can be detected.

Project Description

Our project is to develop Tools and demos which can be deployed using Helm on Rancher.

libvirt+Xen should support the qdisk (qemu) rbd backend, providing native access to block devices hosted on Ceph clusters. Adding this support to the libvirt+Xen toolstack will also improve interoperability with SUSE Enterprise Storage.

A new Puppet Master will be set up for the openSUSE and public SUSE infrastructure. We will need to move the puppet code from the old server to a new Gitlab instance, deploy it to the new box with r10k, and perform syntax, validation and RSpec testing through ci.opensuse.org

This project is about fixing this known Jangouts issue that is reported over and over, since many user experiencing problem with the outgoing WebRTC traffic or with camera authorization can "lurk" what happens in the room without being noticed. Copy&Paste from the last comment there: It's true there is a lot of room for improvements to raise the awareness about "lurkers". For example, we could compare the number of people subscribed to your stream and the number of publishers. If numbers do not match, there is somebody listening but not being displayed. That's something we could show in the UI.

Build and benchmark some smaller SES clusters (2 - 3 nodes) targetted at edge deployments. Evaluate the performance and configurations.

Introduction

Parametrizable formulas is a normal salt module plus some metadata in order to interactively parametrize them. The metadata is used to automatically generate forms that are then injected as pillar data. See original Hackweek project, SUSE Manager support for formulas blog article and its (internal for now) docs.

The recent glibc 2.33 version recently available in Tumbleweed includes this change: ```

The goal of my project is to achieve total world domination. == Hell, yeah!

The goal is to learn about Kaggle and Machine Learning. Resources:

Use machine learning and natural language processing techniques to analyze the changes made in a project, and classify them in: * Small / unimportant fix

We need to package avocado, get it into distro and migrate some of our testsuites from ctcs2. Atm avocado is present in openSUSE:Factory and Backports exist at my home project

Create a prototype of an agent on kvm hosts to control the distributen of master / worker nodes between different kvm hosts. No central control plane should be used - the main design goal should be: as simple as possible :-)

Project Description

Automation of Rancher, K3s, RKE, RKE2 through Salt and SUSE Manager

• Provide an alternative Setup for long term Trello users within our Jira installation

SAR Performance Data Plotter

SAR stands for System Activity Report. It is a tool used to monitor system activity on Linux systems. The sar command is part of the sysstat package and captures a set of statistical information such as CPU load, memory paging, memory utilization, swap usage, network I/O, and much more.

Try some things about Docker and Understanding Linux Network Internals Links:

This project aims for enabling FCoE over virtio-net. With that we should be able to run FCoE within a KVM guest, and finally have a 'real' FC host in a KVM guest. This should enable 'real' FC testing, like link failure, multipath operations etc.

In last hackweek, I implemented a RSA private key parser in kernel: https://github.com/SUSE/hackweek/wiki/RSA-private-key-parser-in-kernel

There is a number of possible improvements to the architecture of SUSE Manager / Salt integration that should be investigated in order to improve the reliability and scalability of the backend: 1. Actions are currently scheduled in the minions using the schedule module of Salt. This brings problems with reliability as for instance a minion can be down at the specified schedule time which leads to actions not being executed. Scalability can be an issue as actions being scheduled for many minions might return results to the server at the same time. Instead it might be better to keep control over scheduled actions on the server to allow batching of actions as well as downtimes of minions or even the server. There is a work in progress branch to get started.

QA uses a dashboard (SUSE internal: http://qa.suse.de/dashboard/ ) to provide an overview of various data to assess the quality of a product. The project is about improving the available data points and the usability for users outside of QA department.

This would be a multiple step solution, a first idea that I would explore would be: 1. Query Florian's qam_reposervice API from RRID to base products and modules needed for update

Currently, each filesystem developer does his fstests runs (a testsuite for regression-testing of filesystems) on his dedicated test machine, on Orthos machine, ... This not only means duplication of efforts to automate this testing but also leads to inefficient use of resources (sometimes the test machine is just idle, sometimes you would need more tests to run in parallel to speed up development). The goal of this effort is to use SUSE Engineering Cloud to implement fire-and-forget fstests runs where you specify kernel to test (fetched from git tree or so), fstests configs to run, and then just pick up test results later on...

The aim of this project is to finish up the work already done in previous editions of Hackweek in regards to zypper-docker. That being: - Separation of the CLI part and the library.

Two trainees embarking on their coding adventure! A lack of beginner-level projects brought us to the idea of starting our own little game forge.

I would like to work mainly on https://fate.suse.com/323638, think of default configuration and perhaps create a small configuration script for conky.

Project Description

Base Linux is a new distribution developed from scratch. It aims to have the stricter packaging system, to be customizable and to work as a base for other Linux distributions in all kind of environments, from desktop to servers and embedded systems.

This will greatly enhance the usefulness of QEMU virtual serial ports, because the Linux kernel interprets a break on the serial console as a SysRq, but there is currently no way to pass this signal over a pseudo-terminal.

While in the past MIPS boards were either low-end PIC32 or found in routers running OpenWRT at most, Imagination themselves have recently released the Creator CI20 board (Ingenic, MIPS32) running Debian. And the Shield Pro (previously iGuardian) kickstarter project (Octeon-III, MIPS64) promises to become a playground for testing KVM hardware virtualization. Porting openSUSE to MIPS will involve setting up an OBS instance linked to Factory (update: done) and cross-compiling a set of packages for an initial bootstrap (update: in progress). Maybe this can be scripted to some degree, as there will be some overlap with the ARM ILP32 port project.

and find out how it compares to salt

QA wants to set up a new QA Portal to get an new organized entry point for all Information that is QA related. The Hackweek Project is to start a discussion with the different QA groups, SLE QA, CSS QA and QAM to collect ideas and make a concrete plan.

Language Server Protocol (LSP for friends) is used in a number of code editors these days. There are implementations for various languages, but none for Salt States. The idea is to leverage Salt state module to parse edited files to provide completion of the state ids or paths.

This hackweek, we will be hacking on Weblate and adding features that we need to use it as a translation tool for openSUSE! Chief among those is a better permission management that would allow us to assign different rights to different projects, languages, distributions etc.

• learn how to write Dracut modules
• investigate running Salt in Dracut initrd

Project Description

I have a small recording studio at home that I use for acoustic recordings using a 2i2 Focusite and Ableton Lite, but no streaming server for my output files. I want to be able to process/mix and share multiple rough drafts of .mp3 or .wav files with my musician friends without sharing them to a public platform yet. I've also been learning golang and seeing how it's a popular choice for audio processing, can use this to dive deeper into it.

Machinery supports inspection of SLES11 and SLES12 systems right now. It would be beneficial to be able to also inspect RHEL systems for various reasons:

From time to time we face collisions when two teams would like to play at the same time. As our kicker table moved back to our building, it should be possible to reach the space with WiFi. There is also power plug available so installing IP web camera should be easy enough.

openvswitch is more used by openstack and software defined networking stack. And it seems having a lot of improvements. In this hackweek, I'd like to see what's

SUSE is using OBS as a build system and openQA for automated testing purposes. The goal of the study is to find out the strengths and weaknesses of these systems and compare them to other open source alternatives in a structured way.

Dochazka is a long-term project to replace the obsolete Attendance & Time Tracking system used by the Prague office since 2007. Dochazka is a complex system consisting of three major components: - RESTful backend App::Dochazka::REST (with lots of help from Web::MREST)

Our previous efforts to enable gdb to open kdumps was not received in upstream as well as we hoped for. The perhaps-acceptable way would be to extend gdb with the possibility of implementing targets in Python, then create example binding to libkdumpfile (which already got a Python binding). We've already tried that, yet it has to be tidyed up. So this project aims at:

retro-gtk is a toolkit for GTK+-based Libretro frontends. It is mainly used by GNOME Games to play retro games via Libretro gaming console emulators. Currenly retro-gtk supports only software rendering. There are two ways hardware rendering can be used in retro-gtk:

Yes, those VGA video cards. The goal of this project is to implement a DRM graphics driver for such devices. While actual hardware is hard to obtain or even run today, qemu emulates VGA output. VGA has a number of limitations, which make this project interesting.

I've attempted this several times already and each attempt had different shortcomings. I'm kind of curious about how exactly will I fail this time. And it looks like I haven't failed this time.

A lot of custom-built or ethusiast-level keyboards such as the Planck, Zeal60, Let's Split and many more use an open-source firmware called QMK. This firmware allows you to freely define your keyboard layout and add a lot of functionality (i.e. emitting a different keycode on long and short keypress, dual-function keys, leader keys (think of vi's :)). We could use the Hack Week to add functionality, check the source code for security issues and add support for more keyboards. If you own a qmk-running mechanical keyboard or plan on doing so feel free to join me :)

Termux is already bringing a terminal and debian package manager to Android. Let's see if we can reuse it and provide a base system with zypper and build openSUSE:Factory for it in OBS.

Project Description

critik8s aims to report critical error events that occur in Kubernetes clusters and therefore require manual user intervention.

Project Description

SUSE dissolved an old warehouse, containing lots and lots of boxes with old SUSE / SuSE / S.u.S.E software. All of those boxes were originally going to be dumped in March 2021, which could be prevented.

Project Description

Most developers are comfortable with the workflows of git hosting services like gitlab and github, including their CI/CD capabilities. This project aims to experiment with new downstream package development and maintenance workflows based on upstream git repositories cloned at gitlab.suse.de. I'll be using the libvirt package for these experiments since it typically contains a healthy mixture of downstream-only patches along with upstream cherry picks.

Clair is a static vulnerability analyzer for containers. Currently it supports containers based on Debian, Ubuntu and RedHat. I already started this project on the CSM workshop, now I want to finish the integration for openSUSE and SLES based container images. You can track the changes at https://github.com/coreos/clair/pull/199.

Introduction

When issues are found in software (being them security or not), it is not always trivial to find and keep track of all products and versions that could potentially be affected by them.

To make sure openSUSE can coexist nicely with an existing Windows installation, we need to have automated regression testing. UEFI and secure boot are especially interesting.That means installing Windows and openSUSE in parallel in openQA. Instead of just uploading some prepared hard disk image, openQA should ideally install Windows itself and save the generated image. In a second run openQA can then install the latest Leap or TW on that disk image.

SUSE CaaS Platform is a Cloud-Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) certified Kubernetes distribution. - Family with SUSE CaaS Platform

Tumbleweed wouldn't be possible without staging projects and managing staging projects isn't possible with a nice GUI. The staging dashboard is there to help but needs some love, esp when comparing

Project Description

Do you need to record podcasts or interviews remotely?

Flatpak (previously known as xdg-app) is a bundle system, based on ostree, to easily make available applications bundle to users. Currently, flatpack is available on openSUSE Tumbleweed but we don't ship any runtime based on openSUSE (freedesktop or GNOME runtime). Also, it could be interesting to generate flatpak bundle directly from OBS, if possible, using either available packages or directly application sourcecode.

OSC is already available on Homebrew, but it is missing the integration with Staging as the openSUSE-release-tools are not available. In this Hackweek project I would like to get the openSUSE-release-tools running on macOS via Homebrew.

Yes this project is yet another project for creating a Suse Manager clone. The motivation for that comes mainly from my need for a simple suse manager that i can easily run at home without the massive overhead involved in suse manager setup. Also since i mainly need to manage opensuse machines most of which are tumbleweed, suse managers repository model does not really work well in that case.

Currently externaltools is deployed manually with RPM. This is a manual process and involves packaging gem dependencies. We do have a caasp cluster running internally which already hosts geekos.scc.suse.de and dash.scc.suse.de.

The purpose of this project is to train myself in SUSE Manager and SaltStack. SUSE Manager delivers a best-in-class open source IT infrastructure management solution for software-defined infrastructure powered by SaltStack, a Python-based open-source configuration management software and remote execution engine.

Project Description

A lot of workloads and scripts are relatively simple and driven by messages. The majority of the code goes towards handling incoming and outgoing messages, queuing/coordinating tasks, logging, handling authentication/authorization and etc. The actual work performed is a small function with a linear set of steps to perform.

Together with my son, I'm working on improving the Salt support in Manager 3. The idea is inspired by SUSE OpenStack Cloud's Crowbar tool:

I have a Flipdot sign that needs control hardware/software. I believe it supports RS485. * Get it to display anything at all

The purpose of this project is to implement an Android application which shows some images (or dice) which you must use to create a short story. The requirements and desired features for the app are:

Bring the smbtamonitor-qt to a stage where it can be released, with some additional changes.
