File Databasean invention by hrommel1 When using files that should be in an accessible file system, quite often I have been in a situation where * I couldn't find a document by name but remembered attributes like 'document' (unclear which format) with '> 12 pages' and dates from '2011 - 2015' |
Goodbye Disteran invention by cschum SUSE Studio was shut down earlier this year. It has been online for more than ten years and there are tons of links and references out there. To not make them lead into the wasteland of 404 we should have a landing page on https://susestudio.com which leads to what users can use instead of SUSE Studio. I did a mockup of a page which could be hosted there. See it at https://github.com/cornelius/goodbye-dister. |
Improve performance of JRuby's hash implementationan invention by cbruckmayer SynopsisJRuby is an implementation of Ruby on the JVM. It aims to be a complete, correct and fast implementation of Ruby, at the same time as providing powerful new features such as concurrency without a global-interpreter-lock, true parallelism, and tight integration to the Java language to allow you to use Java classes in your Ruby program and to allow JRuby to be embedded into a Java application. |
Make Ruqola Rocket.Chat client useable / submit to openSUSE Tumbleweedan invention by zbenjamin Update: Ruqola ('zypper in ruqola') is now in Tumbleweed and Leap 15.2! For Hack Week 19 (Feb 2020) main goal is to test, polish packaging, potentially do fixes and select a snapshot to submit to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Upstream made one release but it was not optimal, development pace has sped up a lot lately and the client has become more stable and usable. |

Ant Ivy OBS resolveran invention by cbosdonnat SUSE Manager uses an ivy repository on the R&D network to get the packaged jar to build against. To remove the manual maintenance of that repository and allow external contributors to hack the Java code of Uyuni / SUSE Manager we need to provide an Ivy plugin that gets the jars directly from OBS. |

SUSE incarnation of the Party Parrotan invention by rsimai The Parrot seems to have many fans meanwhile, in particular since we're running Rocket.chat at SUSE. Some may find these emoticons distracting, some find it just cool and I would certainly love to see something like the Partyparrot but as a "SUSE parrot", probably someone manages to make the SUSE Geeko move in a similar fashion, as party_geeko. Finally I'd love to see this uploaded to the cultofthepartyparrot.com under "Party Guests". Because clearly the Geeko insists! :-) Bonus: do the same with TUX for total ssǝuızɐɹɔ |

minimal openQAan invention by okurz motivationMany people ask how to start with openQA, ask "can you run these two lines in bash in an openQA" test and some shun the effort to try out openQA because it is "too big". |
geekos going productionan invention by digitaltomm We are running the geekos app at geekos.prv.suse.net since some time now in the SCC CaaSP cluster. The goal we have is to bring this to production in the CaaSP cluster maintained by the engineering infrastructure team. |

Convert a very cheap foam toy plane into a radio control planean invention by ilausuch I would like to convert a very cheap foam toy plane into a radio control plane Materials |
Out-of-the-box SPD supportan invention by jdelvare In order to see the SPD (detailed memory information) data, the user currently has to manually load the needed kernel driver. Which driver to load depends on the memory type. Depending on the driver user, the devices may even have to be instantiated manually and this is a non-trivial multi-step task. Plus you need to be root to do it. I would like to attempt to automatize all this at least in the most common and simple cases like Intel x86 desktop. The idea would be to figure out the memory type and the I2C address of the SPD EEPROMs based on DMI data. If the DMI data is of good quality then it should be possible to automatically figure out which driver to use and to instantiate the devices at boot time. |
Demoscene with musican invention by jlausuch Produce a ~3 min demoscene using modern javascript libraries combining graphics with original music. |
Investigate C-Sky architecturean invention by a_faerber The youngest architecture addition to the mainline Linux kernel was C-Sky (arch/csky/). I have a GX6605S board booting a downstream 4.9 kernel. It uses a proprietary GxLoader bootloader (similarities with U-Boot exist but no sources...) with uImage and gx6605s.dtb files in a FAT partition on USB stick. |
mailprocessing performance improvementsan invention by jgrassler I maintain the mailprocessing utility, a Turing complete maildir and IMAP capable filter with rules written in Python, both upstream and in openSUSE. It is currently suffering from some performance problems I'll devote my Hackweek (or part of it) to improving. Most notably the following areas will need some attention:
* Ability to deal with large inboxes. This one is already done and I have been using it myself for a while but not released, yet. If you urgently need it feel free to grab it from the |
