Project Description
ostatus is a command line tool designed to answer questions like "what deviations has my system from a fresh installed system", at least in term of installed packages.
Internally uses libsolv to simulate a fresh installation, based on the installed system roles and packages. The package and pattern list is later compared with the current system, to evaluate differences.
It also generates a hash key that can be used to compare systems. If two systems has the same key, they are considered equivalent, even if they come from different installation history.
Goal for this Hackweek
Beside pushing forward the project, I want to contribute a bit more in librpm.rs, that is a Rust binding for librpm, that is internally used by ostatus itself.

Learn how to use the Relm4 Rust GUI crate by xiaoguang_wang
Relm4 is based on gtk4-rs and compatible with libadwaita. The gtk4-rs crate provides all the tools necessary to develop applications. Building on this foundation, Relm4 makes developing more idiomatic, simpler, and faster.

Looking at Rust if it could be an interesting programming language by jsmeix
Get some basic understanding of Rust security related features from a general point of view.
This Hack Week project is not to learn Rust to become a Rust programmer. This might happen later but it is not the goal of this Hack Week project.
The goal of this Hack Week project is to evaluate if Rust could be an interesting programming language.
An interesting programming language must make it easier to write code that is correct and stays correct when over time others maintain and enhance it than the opposite.
OpenPlatform Self-Service Portal by tmuntan1
Description
In SUSE IT, we developed an internal developer platform for our engineers using SUSE technologies such as RKE2, SUSE Virtualization, and Rancher. While it works well for our existing users, the onboarding process could be better.
To improve our customer experience, I would like to build a self-service portal to make it easy for people to accomplish common actions. To get started, I would have the portal create Jira SD tickets for our customers to have better information in our tickets, but eventually I want to add automation to reduce our workload.
Goals
- Build a frontend website (Angular) that helps customers create Jira SD tickets.
- Build a backend (Rust with Axum) for the backend, which would do all the hard work for the frontend.

Exploring Rust's potential: from basics to security by sferracci
Description
This project aims to conduct a focused investigation and practical application of the Rust programming language, with a specific emphasis on its security model. A key component will be identifying and understanding the most common vulnerabilities that can be found in Rust code.
Goals
Achieve a beginner/intermediate level of proficiency in writing Rust code. This will be measured by trying to solve LeetCode problems focusing on common data structures and algorithms. Study Rust vulnerabilities and learning best practices to avoid them.

Build a terminal user-interface (TUI) for Agama by IGonzalezSosa
Description
Officially, Agama offers two different user interfaces. On the one hand, we have the web-based interface, which is the one you see when you run the installation media. On the other hand, we have a command-line interface. In both cases, you can use them using a remote system, either using a browser or the agama CLI.
We would expect most of the cases to be covered by this approach. However, if you cannot use the web-based interface and, for some reason, you cannot access the system through the network, your only option is to use the CLI. This interface offers a mechanism to modify Agama's configuration using an editor (vim, by default), but perhaps you might want to have a more user-friendly way.
Goals
The main goal of this project is to built a minimal terminal user-interface for Agama. This interface will allow the user to install the system providing just a few settings (selecting a product, a storage device and a user password). Then it should report the installation progress.

Conclusions
We have summarized our conclusions in a pull request. It includes screenshots ;-) We did not implement all the features we wanted, but we learn a lot during the process. We know that, if needed, we could write a TUI for Agama and we have an idea about how to build it. Good enough.
