The title of this project is inspired from the must-see video

The afl fuzzer is an interesting tool that uses compile time instrumentation and genetic algorithms to automatically produce test cases that will trigger different code paths in binary...

git rebase is a very useful construct in source control management, as it allows you to re-apply your changes atop a different branch of the same repository. While this concept transitions perfectly to container management (updating a container could be as easy as a docker rebase), and the Docker client is inspired by the git semantics, Docker has no such feature (in fact, Solomon Hykes used rebase and merge as examples of things "that we don't want"). Currently, zypper-docker works by applying an updated layer on top of an existing image. While this does work quite well, it separates the process of updating the base image and updating all of your derivative images (you need to re-download new packages for each derivative image).

As detailed previously on devel and opensuse-factory the KDE team didn't have access to their bugs and could not actively subscribe.

We currently have a set of shell scripts that verify if patches can be properly installed on multiple combinations of base products, extensions and modules. These scripts are all written in shell and are annoying to maintain, as configuration and code is all mixed up.

The basic idea is is to boot the plain SUSE installation system (inst-sys) but to not let it run YaST.

There were several attempts to integrate ABRT to openSUSE. In this Hack Week I'd like to:

• learn how to code on golang
• create a script for docker testing (bash or python)

motivation

jenkins is a great CI system (continuous integration) with a plethora of plugins available. SUSE QA uses openQA extensively as it excels in distribution and product testing - not only image comparison (common misconception ;-) ). How about combining both in using jenkins with plugins to act as a UI for openQA?

It's a CTF like game, where the goal is to unlock "lock" devices. Having access to a disassembled code you have to create an input that will unlock the device by exploiting a bug in its code.

See README for description of the Dove-eye project (poor man's Hawk-Eye).

Challenge

I want to use this hackweek to get some practice with git and rst and maybe more specifically, as a project, to set a blog written in rst and hosted in github.

French government provides a pretty [up-to-date data][0] set with the gas prices in France as open data. These data could be useful in the offline GPS application [Osmand][1] for drivers to find the cheapest nearby place to buy they gas.

Let third parties to get notifications about build failures without having maintainer rights

The download end-point of Spacewalk/SUSE Manager resolves the packages from channels dynamically with a database query.

Networkmanager uses some simple dbus interfaces of firewalld to allow configuring a firewall zone for connections. FWZS offers similar features on top of SuSEfirewall2.

Currently, dealing with forkbombs and similar issues with Docker and runC is not very nice (you have to set a global limit for all Docker processes or you have to limit kernel memory which isn't very practical). I'm going to work on getting [some][1] [patches][2] merged into runC and Docker to enable PIDs support for Docker.

the Taipei office lacks automatic printer discovery so everyone has to download and install some weird "driver". That's not the Linux way of doing things. So set up a cups server and do proper printer announcements with that one.

Goal

• Organize a general developer mentoring program

In the kernel repository, we have a script that checks users/* branches and does some basic checks on them. My plan is to teach this script to detect kabi changes.

Dovetails are nice to assemble wood pieces... but not that easy to do. The project is about creating a template to create dovetails with a router and of course create dovetails. I prepared all the maths before hackweek to plan my actions (and buy hardware). See [this geogebra file][0] for the details.

Create a wrapper which receives the URL passed to the "firefox" binary, offers a list of available profiles, and finally runs Firefox with the selected profile and the given URL.

OpenStack uses Zuul as a pipeline manager to test changes posted on gerrit. The rpm-packaging initiative (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Rpm-packaging) needs to test proposed changes. So building packages with OBS for proposed changes is the goal of the project.

Fetch and display openQA status project group per project.

Hacking on OBS dashboard requires you to have a "real" data from staging projects. this is done by quering backend directly. So either you need to have a production db deployed or you have old broken data.

So far CUDA driver for Tesla card is only available as Ubuntu deb.

We have various individual tools to automate parts of the Haskell packaging process, like cabal-rpm, but those tools aren't integrated into a fully automated system that keeps Haskell packages up-to-date with as little human intervention as possible. I would like to build that system. Stackage provides us with an accurate list of packages and versions that are known to work together well, and there are basically two flavors: the nightly snapshot (bleeding edge) and the LTS release (stable API). The former is appropriate for Tumbleweed, IMHO, and the latter is appropriate for stable releases like SLE or Leap.

FATE#319830, FATE#319843 and FATE#319842 propose integration of AutoYaST with different software configuration management systems like Salt, Chef and Puppet.

Quotes from xrdp wiki: https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xorgxrdp/wiki/Xorg-drivers-for-xrdp

In many cases, people want to start containers on a system where the administrator is not happy about granting privileges to users or installing any new software. For example, when I was a researcher and wanted to run Python 3 on a computing cluster it was not possible to get the administrator to install Docker or Python 3.

The kernel compile and link itself is only a fraction of the OBS kernel-default package build. Several other passes take significant time: - Post build checks, especially the clamav scan

All other distributions have scanmem/gameconqueror packages. scanmem is a command line memory scanner to locate variables in memory and GameConqueror is the Python/GTK3 front-end for it which also provides game trainer features. But it is not only a game cheating tool. It can also help testing applications, debugging memory issues, watching variables in memory or it can be used for reverse-engineering. Hackers also use it for things like ping spoofing.

The SUSE Manager team currently uses vagrantup.com to create developer environments (a project known as suminator).

Look at bcache and start adding support in libstorage-ng. It should be possible to implement probing during hackweek.

In this HW I would trying learn about how to modeling aircraft in FlightGear, which is a free and open source flight simulator.

The goal of this project is to get a familiar with NativeScript, play with it and create one or two simple demo applications. Maybe even something useful ;)

Previous hackweeks spent on research (project/220), other alternatives. This time I'm

The project is about taking a fresh look at Crowbar UI for SOC provisioning. Main goal is to mock user workflows that would allow to scale Crowbar to support multiple datacenters, a more flexible way to add large number of nodes and manipulate services, as well as control and customize various types of hardware groups.

py2pack is the prefered tool todo Python packaging for openSUSE. There are multiple issues. The one I want to focus on is the dependency detection which is tricky for Python packages.

Results

Prepare the module and concept done for the CSM Workshop and prepare it for upstream inclusion.

Right now internal SLE development is still organised & structured around the concept of 'Milestones'. Schedules are defined, deadlines are set, and off we go making Alpha 1, 2, 3, Betas 1, 2, 3, RC's, and so on.

terraform-provider-libvirt adds libvirt support to terraform.

Salt seems like a technology that's spreading around and more and more people are using it so I thought I'd learn more about it. I plan to create or use existing VM's to monitor and manage them with salt in order to learn more about it.

https://www.gitbook.com/ allows you to combine repositories on https://github.com with a simple to use WebUI for writing books. As result, your crazy content in your README.md (or whatever *.md) files will become available for your customers as book in form of a pdf, epub or mobi download.

Nuremberg recently received room booking displays that would in theory show the current occupation of rooms. Unfortunately they are Windows CE based. And they don't actually show anything useful because we don't use Exchange.

openbuildservice.org is the landing page of the Open Build Service free software project. It could use a fresh design.

We need statistical analysis and key performance indicators to describe the lifetime of maintenance and release requests in IBS, for example:

kanku is designed to give you a better integration of your kiwi images built by the Open Build Service (OBS) in your development and testing workflow.

Mission:

During the last GSoC, Jangouts was ported to work on Angular 2. Among other goodies, like the component-based approach or ditching the $scope thingie, Angular 2 leverages the use of observables thanks to its integration with RxJS.

Currently the upstream LTP is executed by a hacked up and old runltp script that executes even worse and fairly old mess called ltp-pan which in turn actually executes the test cases. This whole thing is a unmaintainable mess that should have been replaced with something simpler a long time ago. It should also have a few more features that has been requested in the meantime and not implemented since nobody wants to touch the code. For instance executing the test cases on a different machine via ssh and writing the results locally. Another feature I've been thinking about for quite some time is a parallel test execution, since most of the test cases in fact could be executed in parallel which could easily speed up the test run twice. There are other tests that cannot, mostly stress tests, but also test cases that modify global system state, i.e. system time, make use of sysv IPC, use loop devices, etc. These kind of tests should be annotated somehow so that we do not end up with a test cases competing for a global resources in a parallel test run.

Create a task tracking tool that would suit my needs (and enrich the pool of such author-only-optimized software).

The Problem

motivation

The one mobile messaging service that shall not be named destroyed the world of "unified communication" by constructing a walled garden in recent years although there was a bright outlook with XMPP/jabber in before bundling all communication by providing an open standard and especially transports. I would like to revisit the state in 2017 and combine my text chat based communication needs from different end devices, namely my work notebook and my private smartphone.

TL;DR Use convolution to find type candidates, then solve system of equations to refine the result.

Use dwz (dwarf compressor) from rpms find-debuginfo.sh to reduce debuginfo package size. Aim for multi-file mode which would create a "base" debuginfo package that individual ones

The next generation libstorage-ng is still missing support for some filesystems. The task is to implement all of them:

Want to play with Alexa skills development.

I have Raspberry Pi with WLAN and an additional network module which can be run as a WIFI access point.

For some of us, Jangouts has become a tool we use everyday. It works (most of the time) and it helps to reduce the impact of having a distributed team.

Leap integrates packages from several SLE codestreams and Factory. In order to keep an overview of what package has which version and in which project an overview is needed. An obs plugin similar to the Factory dashboard could probably do the job.

My German reading and speaking skills suck. I've forgotten everything except "Mehr Bier, bitte". A week of intensive immersion ought to enable me to order food as well. And converse with my German team members. Especially when we go out for meals and drinks.

Collecting and presenting statistics on the various aspects of the openSUSE:Factory/openSUSE:Leap:* staging process would be useful for determining if changes in tooling and automation have an impact on the workflow. Some examples or information of interest are as follows.

Mitmproxy is a totally awesome tool to investigate http- and https-traffic and thus is a very useful debugging tool.

When GoldenDict enable scan popup functionality, if you want GoldenDict to show popup window, you need to select word by mouse and at same time press ALT or CTRL key. You can't show popup window only by mouse when needed.

For Relax-and-Recover (abbr. ReaR, RPM package rear) I like to implement a new kind of "backup" method:

Make openSUSE the first distribution to support LetsEncrypt/ACME natively, in order to provide easy TLS encryption for all services. openSUSE users should be able to

https://software.opensuse.org/ is aging. Richard made a proposal using Jekyll to statically generate a new layout: https://software.opensuse.org/newsite/, code at https://github.com/sysrich/new-software.o.o

MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_ variables are environmental variables which help identify problems with Glibc's malloc() allocations.

Mojolicious is a web development toolkit and framework built around an event loop. That has many performance and scalability advantages, but can also make debugging slow code a bit of a challenge.

Fedora 25 has enabled Wayland by default for GNOME.

In the spirit of learning more python and practicing I will be creating a script to automate the work report emails that we send every week. This will not be a simple cron job because I have to catch corner cases of vacation etc. The next step is filling the workreport automatically by using the various API's that we can use (Bugzilla, osc qam plugin). The purpose is mainly to learn a bit more python.

You know Tetris, right? You know Telegram, don't you?

Control you openQA instance from an Amazon Echo!

In openQA we support various backends which are able to 'host' tests. 'svirt' - one of those backends - is so generic that it allows to conned to a virtualization host via SSH a perform shell commands directly.

By default, let's encrypt allows to get domain for server where you resolve an HTTP challenge. This is sometime not possible to setup (because the server you want your SSL certificate isn't running a HTTP server).

The Mojolicious web development toolkit is currently limited to using TCP/IP sockets for its HTTP/WebSocket client and server. For most web services that's more than enough, but for containerized applications and IPC, UNIX domain sockets could provide significantly better performance and security.

CVRF is a standard where security advisories are encoded in a XML format.

Take time this week to take care of the packages I maintain at Debian; open bugs, fix bugs, new upstream versions, enable testsuites in autopkgtest.

Mycroft is an open source artificial intelligence platform (an open source assistant) and has very nice demos like: Mycroft Plasmoid Version 2.0 and Akademy 2017 presentation (this one starts around 2:30) .

Patches for supporting SGI Octanes are floating around since ages. The latest version is against v4.10. I've talked to Ralf Baechle (MIPS kernel maintainer) and he is willing to take patches from me... so I have to provide them... and this what this project is for:-)

It's a pretty simple idea. Be able to deploy an SMT using Docker with minimum effort.

I'd like to gain practical knowledge about machine learning / TensorFlow / scikit by trying out simple examples.

Do some 3D printing incluing designing the object.

OBS started distributing live events through a rabbitmq and Bernhard's obsbugzilla scripts can use that as an additional source to update bugzilla with reduced and more uniform delays, e.g. within 30 minutes of the last SR relating to a given bug.

Kdenlive is refactoring its timeline to be based on Qt's data models and a QML view. This work is not yet finalized so any help there is appreciated by the developers.

I'v been doing the testing on device mapper, once there are some regression it's very hard to debug without block-layer knowledge.
