Project Description

Our SUSE Support knowledge base sucks. It has a clunky UI, only has a What you see is what you (don't) get editor, doesn't show version history. I hate it, you hate it, and our customers hate using it and would rather pick up the phone and bother us.

CalDAV [1] and CardDAV [2] are client/server protocols designed to allow users to access and share calendar and contact data on a server. There are many CalDAV and CardDAV clients around, e.a. Thunderbird/Lightning and also free CalDAV and CardDAV servers like Baïkal. With that project I want to create a client in PHP to be able to create and modify data in calendars and addressbooks from websites.

The Inforce Computing IFC6540 is an SBC with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC (32-bit ARMv7). I had previously brought up openSUSE on the IFC6410. A week before Hackweek Interstellar I got the IFC6540 to boot on serial console using the upstream-based Linaro integration branch, up to searching for the rootfs. Since USB and SATA support were still missing, my goal will be to prepare a MicroSD based rootfs to complete the bringup.

Using docker as a development platform for nontrivial development environments sounds interesting. This project is about learning basic docker handling, about exploring how to use it for simplifying development, and maybe (but just maybe) about providing ready-made docker containers for new team members.

This involves customizing a tumbleweed image to configure cloud-init and adding other elements like docker, kubernetes, etcd, flannel which are required to get a kubernetes cluster running either using kiwi or disk image builder.

Picotm is a system-level transaction manager. It provides transactional semantics to low-level C operations, such as modifying data structures, (some) file I/O, memory access. Picotm also handles error detection and recovery. It's fully modular, so new functionality can be added. For the Hackweek, I want to dedicate some time to picotm. I want to finish some of the refactoring work that I have been working on. If there's time left, I'd like to investigate two-phase commits and how to support them in picotm.

GitLab provides a bridge to connect to Gitter using an IRC client. The source code is at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/irc-bridge/

Project Description

Create a graphic scene where I can see a cube and maybe add to it some textures or modify its geometry.

Write a tool to generate documentation (README.md) from chef cookbook attributes files including the comments that describe the attributes. The goal is to use this with the openstack chef cookbooks from https://github.com/stackforge/ and maybe integrate it the upstream Gerrit as a Jenkins job. The project is hosted at: github/mapleoin/chef-attrdoc

> [arbs] is a tool for keeping an OBS project in sync with an ArchLinux package repository. More specifically, I use it to sync [home:roman-neuhauser:arch-community][h:rn:ac] with [community.git][c.git], a mirror of the actual svn repository underlying community. arbs already exists but has many rough edges. the goal of this hackweek project is to make it resilient in the various failure scenarios so it can be used in a truly unattended fashion.

kCFI is a tool that enables the compilation of commodity Operating Systems with Control-Flow Integrity protection. kCFI first prototype was developed/implemented during a PhD program held in the University of Campinas, in Brazil. Although fully functional, the tool remains in a very experimental shape, needing to be refactored prior to being released. As kCFI consists in multiple tools, which include compiler plugins, kernel patches and binary analyzers, its deployment is considerably complex. Once code refactoring is finished, the next step consists in setting up proper repositories for the tool and for each submodule, along with scripts and documentation to enable easy configuration and compilation on new environments.

Create a tool which will make it possible to monitor the lifecycle of pods in a kubernetes cluster (as well as other types of tabular or structured data), and provide a convenient user interface for viewing and interpreting that data. This will be useful in development and testing of our kubernetes-based container platform (Cloud Application Platform), as it will allow us to better understand where things are going wrong when we encounter component failures. * Github

openQA currently supports different architectures: x86(_64), ppc64le, aarch64 and s390x. In this project I would like to add support for RISC-V[1]. First emulated ontop of x86, like we previously did with aarch64. As openSUSE images for that processor are already generated, it could be useful to do some basic automated tests on them.

Package and Deploy:

I want to continue my work on this feature for a CAT (Computer Aided Translation) program, OmegaT. When translating a segment (usually a sentence), I would like OmegaT to automatically replace all words it finds in an active glossary by their translations. This will save the translator some time.

Project Description

This project aims to recreate a small computer game that we played in highschool; it was called "Slime Games". However it ran as a Java applet and so no longer exists on the modern web.
