GNOME Software supports distribution upgrade, that only requires a few clicks for upgrading your system. But it's not integrated into Leap. So this is that I plan to do this Hack Week.

Involved components

Project Description

Since we use different systems to report bugs (Bugzilla) and track their fixes (GitHub), we have a dedicated tool to keep our boards in sync and up-to-date between those two. The tool we use today is called finglonger and it's written in clojure which makes it rather difficult to maintain and expand.

fq is an open source command tool used for formatting and inspecting binary data. It has a modular architecture that allows for adding support for all sorts of different binary data (e.g. MP4, BZIP2, ELF, etc.) While working on a legacy booting issue for Harvester HCI, I learned about the format of the legacy MBR (master boot record). I started adding support for it in this PR, but I haven't finished it yet. I am interested in better understanding the ways computers boot up so I can better understand what goes wrong when people try to boot Harvester (or relatedly, openSUSE).

Project Description

The SINK project is a set of containers and tools for Samba in Kubernetes. The images and tooling for the project are designed for Fedora and RH systems. The ultimate goal of this project is to tweak the tooling for use with our build service, etc.

Project Description

Implement support for OVA as output for kiwi build in OBS using hooks and open-vmdk

The goal of my idea is using "Integration and Regression Testing Environment for strongSwan" https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/TestingEnvironment from upstreamer and build it over the SLES/openSUSE for regression tests of strongSwan package and other networking tools in L3 QA Maintenance.

Objective

The openSUSE plymouth theme presently lacks a nice graphical screen to inform

Scaleway is a newly opened Cloud based in France (for now) offering ARM based servers. Those are BareMetal SSD cloud servers. They offer a range of operating systems to pick from (Debian, Ubuntu, ArchLinux...) as well as 'application images' (Docker, ownCloud...) but no openSUSE image yet.

While in general everything still works, the current (patached/extended) planet installation behind planet.opensuse.org is a bit outdated and not maintained any more. The initial plan is to:

The support for Orange PI PC in mainline kernel has advanced a bit, so now it should be possible to build openSUSE image that has at least serial support with kernel 4.6 and usb support with 4.7. I will investigate this.

Add support to build snappy images in OBS. This means we need to parse snapcraft.yaml build description for dependencies, prepare data from remote resources and handle the build. ===Current State===

Plans of the Project

After some time I would like to move KF5 translation ahead again.

Rewrite the authboss Go library (authentication engine) for use with JWTs. Clean up existing code. Fix bugs etc. https://github.com/go-authboss/authboss

I currently use maildirproc for filtering Maildirs downloaded by offlineimap and like its highly flexible approach to filtering a lot (filters Python code). This works very well, except for one problem: after filtering, the next offlineimap run deletes the messages that where previously in Inbox on the mail server and uploads them to the folders they were sorted into. Depending on how many emails one gets, this is a colossal waste of bandwidth. It is technically possible to filter and move on the server side, as proven by imapfilter. I would like to add the same capability to maildirproc by implementing an IMAP client.

SLE Engineering have a large flatscreen in the shared space just outside of Thorsten Kukuk and Stefan Behlert's office It runs Windows

There's sadly not much time to enjoy Factorio with friends, so from economy perspective it makes sense not to have the server running when it's not used. The plan would be:

Project Description

Try to family with MicroOS for ALP Virtualization

Project Description

I'm 2nd head of a non-profit association, our goals are to help musicians and kids that want to learn playing an instrument, but whose parents cannot afford buying instruments or paying for musical education.

Project Description

Kanidm is a identity management system (a store of accounts, groups and more) that supports authentication to opensuse, web sites, networks, and more. The project has a focus on respect of humans, correctness, simplicity and performance. In previous hackweeks we have implemented cryptographic authentication (webauthn), wasm based web UI, replication foundations and more.

The aim of this project is to make openSUSE/SUSE more known in Turkey, to atract students there to more participate in opensuse community: 1) update http://tr.opensuse.org/ which is a bit old, check the links etc.;

The current approach to having new hardware support and features in SLE kernels it to integrate changes to individual drivers from the mainline kernel back into the SLE kernel. The Linux Kernel Backports project (https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/) in comparison has an approach which consists in adding a shim layer between unmodified mainline drivers and older kernel interfaces. This project has its roots in wireless drivers. It currently supports only a handful of old ethernet adapters. The goal of this hackweek project is to integrate support for the Intel 1Gb pci-express ethernet driver e1000e into the Backports project. This particular driver was chosen because it is widely used and modern while not being exotic.

Unfortunately there is no UI designer or editor for YaST dialogs. All dialogs are hand crafted in Ruby code. The idea of this project is to provide some way how to create or edit the existing dialogs in a user friendly way, without touching any code.

I am currently using odpdown for presentations (tl;dr: it lets you write your slides in Markdown and generates Libreoffice slides from that and a Libreoffice slide master (such as a corporate identity template)). It is currently not available in OpenSUSE so it needs to be packaged and submitted to Factory. If somebody other than me wants to take this on, please ping me. There used to be a package in the author's home project on OBS which has since vanished. I think I've still got a checkout somewhere...

During the last year Askbot, a question and answer oriented internet tool, similar to stack overflow has been tested for internal usage. The testing went well and it was decided to use the tool in a larger scope.
