In-depth understanding of how ptrace works; get the implementation mechanism of ptrace;

Working with some of the Linux modding communities I am aiming to make the ultimate guide / knowledge base for modifying the look and feel of your Linux install.

Bug reports can be a great source of information, but usually finding the information requires extensive work in reading through all of the discussions and understanding the details about it.

Project Description

Description

MIDI supports volume control, so why not use that for ALSA?

Dive into VLC and fix mixing video and audio sources together with multiple transcoding and multiple outputs.

The trend of adopting Web technology in Desktop is ubiquitous these days. Both as a learning project and a proof of concept, we'd like to

Overview

With the recent explosion of product extensions, modules, bases, the decomposition of monolithic base products into modules, and the amount of churn in product composition between releases, the task of calculating product dependencies and migrations between products has approached the complexity of package management. We have a state of the art tool for solving package dependencies, so why not apply it to the new domain?

Minnowboard is the platform for UEFI development and supports UEFI capsule update since 0.99, and we are supposed to be able to test the feature with fwupd. However, there is no capsule file in fwupd.org or the official firmware download site. Besides, the Minnowboard firmware source in the current edk2/edk2-platforms git couldn't build due to the recent change of directories. My goal is to rebase the Minnowboard build system to the current git master and create a working up-to-date firmware. Signing the firmware properly would be a plus so that we can apply a private repo in fwupd.org for the development or QA testing.

As per the title I am aiming to investigate a much nicer conky default, I have a short list, but it depends on asking people nicely to license there work, if I have to create something from scratch it probably won't happen this hackweek.

Description

Recently, I became interested in NFS and want to learn more about it by reading related RFC files. However, there seem to be quite a lot of them. The goal is to glance at them and get a basic feel for the differences between each version.

Description

This project will focus mostly on getting to know the Clojure and ClojureScript ecosystem.

Every packager encounters boring manual tasks every once in a while and these tasks can most probably be automated to some extent. During Hackweek I aim to try and identify such cases in various packagers' workflow and consider creating a tool that would make these tasks easier. Also, I would like to find out whether there is a demand for such tool. In that case, this Hackweek project will turn into a long-term task I plan to keep working on.
