Zeroconf/Bonjour/Avahi is a very interesting technique that targets at freeing users of services from tedious IP-based network configuration by automatic-distributed address-assigning, name-assigning and service discovery/browsing. It's named officially as zeroconf, Bonjour is the implementation in OS X, iOS and Windows, while Avahi is for Unix-like system.

During the last CSM workshop we identified the need to have a good way to share the images we use for testing. We have documented the requirements and the current status in this wiki page (we even have a diagram).

AFAIK, wireshark is the best Linux tool for analyzing network traffic. Primarily intended for Ethernet networks, there is now also support for very different protocols (e.g. USB). Sadly, there is no support for fibre channel, most likely because there is even no infrastructure in the kernel.

GNU Guix is a functional package manager that is also available on openSUSE Leap 15 and Tumbleweed.

Recently, ConnMan got support for iwd and WireGuard. The current support is only a starting point and it needs some more changes in the core code base to support the cool features:

Some of my old workstations (Sun3, Apollo DN3x00/4x00) use ECL signals for their monochrome monitor. Since these monitors are already dead or dying I was looking for a conversion to something more modern. As I couldn't find anything I found the ULX3S boards, which already have everything for driving a HDMI monitor. So goal of this project is to use the FPGA board for converting the video signal.

The idea for Hack Week is to add new features to qubesome. qubesome is a CLI that manages your window managers and workloads in a GitOps manner. Each profile is executed under its own container, with its own xorg display. This enables having awesomewm running for a profile while having i3 for another, for example, both running in parallel. Anyone keen on learning more about qubesome or helping with the goals, please feel free to reach out.

Gerrit is used for code reviews by openstack and its related projects (e.g. chef cookbooks). The web interface is too slow when you get 100 changes to review each day. It would be nice to have a faster CLI. There are already some python client libraries available. I am thinking about either doing this as a standalone application with python and something like ncurses or an emacs/lighttable plugin.

Have a look at the library implementation and its API.

Testing libgphoto2/gphoto2 is a long winding task and currently requires physical cameras.

• Complete hardware enablement on a prototype tablet that will be going to market soon as a 'pure Linux' tablet.
• Provide a custom image to the manufacturer for preinstallation of openSUSE on said tablet.

I'd like to consider the possibilities for redesigning SUSE documentation. Mark Baker ("Every Page is Page One") says "include it all, filter it afterwards" which is the exact antithesis of what we currently offer. Let's consider how we can move documentation into the future: search driven, user friendly, accessible, and in line with the way our readers use the rest of the internet.

Using beta SCK 8.6, attempt to look at hacking options with containers and/or public cloud using Azure or AWS. Do the same thing, completely separate, but using SLE Micro. Probably be a hodgepodge during hack week; but I'll have to get some work done during the week...so it will be perfect for me.

SUSE SecureUp! is a multifaceted hackweek project aimed at significantly increasing cybersecurity and privacy awareness both within SUSE and amongst our external stakeholders (customers and potential future employees). This will be achieved through targeted initiatives focused on education, engagement, and skill development, with an emphasis on the interconnectedness of security and privacy in today's digital landscape.

Moses is a statistical machine translation system that allows you to automatically train translation models for any language pair. Intention of the project is to tune up existing software, where a glimpse shows that majority of time is consumed by memory allocation, dynamic casting and other calculation non-related stuff. I would like to inspect many techniques (like perf profiling, GCC LTO, GCC profile-guided optimization, code refactoring, OpenTuner, etc.) which may bring really significant performance gain. Moreover, it would be really beneficial to come up with a cookbook that can be used by folk in general. If possible, I would like to create a step-by-step performance improvement graphs.

There are a few scripts around analysing isos and helping ReleaseManagers (and others) to achieve a great release. I'd like to see this all combined in one web overview, a kind of "Enterprise Service control ape" (ok, it's more an "Enterprise Control Center mokey", but that's not an acronym ;) ).

The new features below were added for the cluster (shared disk) scenario of LVM2 in upstream half year ago. I'm new to LVM2, and have been busy with bugfix things this days. This hackweek

A common challenge for OpenStack and K8S deployments is debugging the network when things go awry. The aim of DPHAT is to provide operators of cloud infrastructure with tooling that can analyze the environment and supply the following:

I want to program a tool to assist building Kgraft-patches.

• As a QA, we mostly thinking filesystem xfs in a researcher mind, some user scenes may not touch. Try to use xfs like a curious user in whole week, and touch features as much as possible, then find the feature which is important but don't cover in our daily work.

The primary arcade machine emulator is MAME, and it has a very specific format for romset compression. I have previously started a project call pyros that allows the creation and update of MAME romsets. The project consists of the following tools:

The day has come to finally merge more and more apps into one single place, and this time it shall be externaltools.

In SUSE Manager we want to offer support for bootstrapping systems that don't have the salt-minion installed and configured yet. This can be done using salt-ssh given just a hostname, username and password. See the docs about salt rosters for even more options. What we are missing:

The idea is to use a 8-switch relay (or two) to connect to a Raspberry pi and control the switches according to the music. To control the music, hack mpg123 to take a "frames" file which would contain which channel should be switched on or off.

We used trinity to make fuzzing test, but it hard to reproduce bugs. I'd like to try to use syzkaller or other fuzzy tools to find a stable process to reproduce fuzzy bugs.

Customers are using complex storage stacks such as LVM over dm-crypt over MD RAID over multipath over iSCSI and FC with LOTs of LUNs, and we're facing problems in that area which are usually very hard to reproduce. It's also hard to guard against regressions.

PVH domains are a new guest type supported by Xen being as lightweight as possible (e.g. no emulation of legacy devices via qemu) while taking advantage of the hardware virtualization features of the x86 processor.

I'm planning to get basics of Reactive Programming and especially the documentation in ReactiveX and try some examples from RxPy

The salt-toaster (https://github.com/openSUSE/salt-toaster) is a tool created and developed by SUSE employees that we've been using for testing Salt since few years ago.

My music manager, Bard, was improved in the last hackweek with a very simple React-based web interface but I didn't like the result at all (basically, after learning React I noticed I didn't like it and all the dependencies and the complexity it added) so since then, I've reimplemented the web interface using just jQuery. Also, in the last months I've added musicbrainz data structures to the database (which was also ported to use Postgresql) to prepare bard to use MusicBrainz's data. I also stopped using other python libraries to read audio files and use the ffmpeg libraries directly instead with a c++ wrapper implemented inside Bard which is much much faster.

Salt is moving towards a plugable architecture using POP and Idem. This project is about experimenting with those new concepts by applying them to a real life case: the virt execution and state modules.

Since sometime we have limited time to file a bug, especially during daily review of testsuites result. Then some bugs are lake of introduction about what the testsuite are tested, it makes developer take more time to debug this issue. I'd like to find a way to add some description in somewhere convenient to use, when file a kernel function bug.

partnerFATE (based on openFATE) is the interface used by our partners to interact directly with the SUSE feature database. It's an important tool and has been a reliable service for years, but could use some updates and enhancements. My goal (if I find time) is to install a local instance of partnerfate to use as a test bed for fixes and enhancements.

While there are plenty of benchmarks that compare different IO multiplexing techniques such as epoll vs poll/select, there's really nothing out there that particularly measures epoll system call latencies under different scenarios. Design and implement a series of performance benchmarks for this call under the 'perf bench' framework.

The OpenStack Infra team has been running on the EOL'd puppet 3 for too long, they need help updating.

At SUSE we've implemented a module on Salt called ansiblegate which allows to run and manage your Ansible clusters using Salt.

For years we have been discussing the idea to modularize SUSE Manager. This would enable developers to create their own extensions to SUSE Manager without needing to touch the core repository.

Based on an old customer feature request: zypper history command options so that it can show the security patches installed on a server and when they were installed, during a defined period of time.
