DRM driver for USB-based SiS graphics cardsa project by tdz Back in the late 90s to early 2000s, SiS graphics chips were fairly common and found in many low-end devices. Today, the chips are still capable enough for simple graphics needs, but the graphics cards were on PCI and AGP buses. They are not usable in modern computers. However, there exist USB-based graphics cards with a SiS 315 graphics chip. Those are around on Ebay et al [1] and easily usable with current computers. I already do have a driver for the old PCI-based SiS drivers and have long been struggling to find something useful to do with it. Converting it to serve USB devices would finally make it useful.

investigate how kernel live patching worksa project by herbert0890 kGraft is SUSE Labs answer to the rising need for being able to patch the running kernel without rebooting the system. I think this kind of tool is very cool, so by this hackweek chance, I want to investigate it how it works and how it was implemented. And also by this chance, I hope I can improve my ability of kernel hacking. If you are also interested in kernel live patching, please join this project together.

AppArmor utils: rewrite more rule types into classesan invention by cboltz While the python-based AppArmor utils (aa-logprof etc.) are much easier to understand and maintain than the old perl code, there are still some terribly long functions like parseprofiledata() in aa.py that are not too easy to understand. Also, using hasher() (a recursive array) as storage can have some strange side effects. Another problem is that test coverage isn't too good, especially for the bigger functions. I already wrote the CapabilityRule and CapabilityRuleset classes (and also the BaseRule and BaseRuleset classes) some months ago, and changed the code to use those classes. This code is already in upstream bzr.

Research/Develop a method for automatic partial/degraded LVM volume mounting when lvmetad is activea project by dbond1 SLES 12SP1 enables the lvmetad service by default. While in general this greatly enhances the efficiency of LVM, it does expose an issue with auto mounting partial and degraded volumes. This project will be an exploration of the interactions between udev, pvscan, and lvmetad in an attempt to find the best method to enable customizable/automatic mounting of partial and degraded volume groups.

Investigate and setup internal survey systema project by rsimai We often struggle to get feedback from our people, in particular if it's supposed to be anonymous. There are external systems on the Internet which are typically commercial, where (free) usage is limited and situation with GDPR isn't clear. I want us to investigate and find (or found!) an Open Source project that allows to easily collect (internal) surveys.

A fresh look at Crowbar scope and UIan invention by romanarcea The project is about taking a fresh look at Crowbar UI for SOC provisioning. Main goal is to mock user workflows that would allow to scale Crowbar to support multiple datacenters, a more flexible way to add large number of nodes and manipulate services, as well as control and customize various types of hardware groups. <i>Note: Bellow links and images might not work without VPN enabled</i>

tftp boot installer and PXE server container imagean invention by kukuk We provide tftp server and RPMs containing the installer to run from tftp. Disadvantage is, that the user needs to setup a tftp boot system first. Why not putting everything in a container, so that the admin only need to run the container and can then choose on the to be installed machine, what he wants install? And following this, put the container in a kubernetes cluster like SUSE CaaS Platform.

Dive into the Czech language - from survival Czech to cracking the language (well, we'll see...uvidíme)a project by JERiveraMoya I got a good textbook for learning Czech and I will be diving into it this week, focus on mainly in grammar and self-study, planning to use my "Welcome to SUSE" stickers to write down some interesting words in Czech and Spanish to fix better the vocabulary. Despite my survival Czech is ok to live in the country I am very curious to know better how is the internal machinery of this language so It will be beneficial for the future.

RPG Tablea project by crichter I have build a table for our RPG sessions (DSA/Deadlands/Paranoia) which incorporates a large 24" LCD Display for showing maps during the sessions. What I'd love to have is a piece of software that allows me to show only parts of the map (fog of war), but show the whole map to the gamemaster on his laptop (and of course the areas tinted that are not yet uncovered).

Automate Victron Cerbo GX scheduled charge configuration based on Redflow ZCell maintenance cycle timingan invention by tserong Project DescriptionAt my home we have solar PV hooked up to Victron inverter/chargers and a Redflow ZCell battery for energy storage. The setup is described in detail on my blog. By their nature, ZCell flow batteries needs to undergo a maintenance cycle at least every three days, where they are discharged completely for a few hours. Having only one battery, this means we can't use the "minimum state of charge" feature of the Victron kit to always keep some charge in the battery in case of outages, because doing so conflicts with the ZCell maintenance cycles. This isn't a problem if you have more than one ZCell, because the maintenance cycles interleave in that case, but so far we only have one of these things. If I want to keep charge in the battery for emergency purposes on non-maintenance days, I can do that by configuring scheduled charge settings manually on the Victron Cerbo GX console, but then I have to remember to turn those things back off (or otherwise adjust the settings) for the next maintenance day. For this hack week, I'm going to see if I can automate that piece somehow.
