Tracking and fixing translations in modern applications is a surprisingly complicated task. Visible strings often come from several projects, and strings can be processed by a complex formating. The project should extend the current project trace-wrappers to easily display string sources inside the application. The project successfully reached a working state: watch gettext

Figure out how to get SUSE VPN running on Android.

In GCC we have multiple intermediate languages and for all of them we do manual pattern matching and replacement. The project uses a domain specific language to unify and simplify those pattern matching and replacing code. During hackweek I plan to split out working parts to merge to GCC trunk.

I want to modify the driver so that it:

• a) supports newer hardware

I like to try out if it is possible to write a program that does not have any kind of the traditionally separated documentation (like external files that contain the documentation texts or comments in the program code). Instead all documentation must be implemented as code at the same place where the matching functiomnality is implemented (i.e. each function implements also its documentation). In the end the user should get only the executable that he can run to let it do the intended functionality and also to provide any kind of documentation. What I do not want is a dumb '--help' option that lets the program spit out its built-in documentation. What I would like to have is that the user can run the executable in some kind of self-inspecting way. I mean: While it does the intended functionality, it can also provide documentation so that the user can explore the program while running it. In the end the user experience should be more like a text adventure ;-)

The idea is to play around with a minecraft-like block exploration game, written from scratch in C using SDL2 and OpenGL 3.0. Minimal dependencies, probably won't be a game as such before the end of the week, but the goal is to have a world generated and to be able to walk around in it. Why? Mainly to refresh my 3D knowledge, catch up with what's happened since I last played with that stuff, and to have fun. :) * Source code

1) Add support for the Microsoft Azure File Service REST protocol to Elastocloud, a cloud storage client library created in a previous Hackweek. 2) After completing (1), create an Elastocloud VFS module for Samba that intercepts filesystem IO and locking operations. This would allow for the creation of a globally accessible Samba share backed by cloud storage, which could also be accessed by VMs deployed in the Azure cloud.

Description

Travis provides nice integration with GitHub, it can automatically run tests for every commit or every pull request.

The UEFI image for QEMU/AArch64 is available in the openSUSE build service now. However, there is no openSUSE image for that setup. This project is to make openSUSE run on QEMU/AArch64 + UEFI and this may be useful for the openQA in the future.

Seems that there is currently no good way to check which python modules are outdated in devel:languages:python . AFAIU http://osc-collab.opensuse.org could learn howto handle information from pypi and set the attributes "UpstreamVersion" and "UpstreamTarballURL" for the packages.

Look at the NIS RPC protocol, enable IPv6 where possible, document where not. Try to find out what Solaris is doing.

Currently python2 and python3 packages are completely independent. Would be imho good to build py2 and py3 versions from a single source (as Fedora, Debian & Ubuntu do already). There was already a mailing list post about this: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2014-09/msg00000.html

Use my work supplied workstation to set up SUSE Cloud under KVM and deploy several instances of servers.

AngularJS, Websockets, REST APIs for mobile apps, one-time links for emails — what’s the topmost complexity all those things share in common? It’s authentication. Authentication typically means sessions, and sessions are simply ubiquitous state for our stateless-by-design web.

Spacewalk has its custom client stack. Salt stack provides a big bunch of it, but it is a popular community project and add other features on top:

I want to learn Rust and improve my cryptography skills, so I'll be solving the matasano crypto challenges in Rust. The source code for the challenges I had time to finish is on my github

Adding additional features to the YaST "Security Center and Hardening" module. -> procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options

The kdumpid tool can be used to determine the kernel version from a crash dump. Some useful features are missing: - support for new compression methods (lzo, snappy)

Intro

In order to be able to throw pies faster and distribute them even to remote SUSE colonies, we need to build an advanced antimatter-fueled pie hyper-accelerator.

Sonic Pi is a live-coded software synthesiser for teaching computing via music. It originates on the Raspberry Pi but should be on mainstream Linux too. This project is to clean it up by removing Raspbian hacks, package it and its dependencies and get it running nicely on openSUSE. Sonic Pi uses Ruby to control the synthesiser, and the frontend is written in Qt.

KDE Frameworks 5 is already quite stable but most big applications have not been ported yet. My plan is to work on digikam (and its libraries, libkdcraw, libkipi, libkface, libkgeomap, kipi-plugins) to port them to use the latest KDE libraries version. To be more precise, I plan to work on the job framework and its thread support since ThreadWeaver's API has changed a lot and after talking with Caulier Gilles (digikam's main author) he was interested in that. This is part of libkdcraw, but if I finish early in the week, I'll continue with another of the libraries.

The Parallella is an SBC with Xilinx Zynq SoC and 16-core Epiphany-III co-processor. I had contributed a device tree for the Parallella to v3.17 (with a network/clock issue just reported by Olof Johansson to be investigated).

A broad range of ARMv7-A boards have been enabled in openSUSE already. I would like to complement my experiences by bringing up Linux on an ARMv7-M board, the STM32F429I discovery board, featuring a Cortex-M4 and 8 MB SDRAM. As first step I would build and deploy an image based on instructions from the Internet, using downstream U-Boot and kernel and known-working binary arm-uclinuxeabi compiler toolchain. As preparation I have already packaged the genromfs tool.

tiedot is a general purpose, document database engine designed for both embeddable usage and running stand-alone DB server, implemented in Go. Despite the effort of partitioning collection data and indexes, a single tiedot process still cannot scale beyond 4 CPU cores due to limitations of both data structure and Go runtime. Last year, an attempt began to partition data across multiple tiedot processes, and use IPC for communication and database logics. Initial benchmarks show promising scalability improvement using the new implementation. So let us complete the new implementation together, to bring the most scalable & embeddable DB engine for Go programs!

In past it was needed these project to be developed together due to unstable API of Gammu. This is now stable and having python module in the code just makes the things harder. The code should be separated, use standard distutils and have testsuite. In future it should also support Python 3, but that's not the primary goal now. The work has already started:

The project's goal is for Beijing GNU/Linux User Group port a self-hosted online communication tool. We discovered lets-chat project suite for our requirements, but it need more encryption. So, my primary work is deployed the lets-chat project in my VPS, and then try port a OTR encryption implement for this project.

As OBS can install various distributions, it should be in theory possible to abuse this functionality to create distribution independent way to create rootfs tarball. Done: https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-build/pull/166

Maybe it is yet another wheel

but still worth to do. The original idea is come from https://xmpp.net/.

On February 12th, 2015, the DMTF released version 3.0.0 of the System Management BIOS Reference Specification. This update isn't just adding enumerated values to existing structures, as previous updates did. It is also introducing a new entry point format which allows for larger tables and structures. Support for this needs to be added to dmidecode. Additionally, reading the entry point and the table from /dev/mem is no longer possible on all systems, so some work is in progress to offer an alternative interface through sysfs. It would be great to finalize this and release a new version of dmidecode that would support both SMBIOS version 3.0 and this new kernel interface.

Basically the idea is to boot inst-sys but to not run YaST and instead run a selfmade script that does the usual disaster recovery steps:

Twinkle, my favourite SIP client, seems no longer developed, has been accused of "bitrotting" and even dropped from some distributions. While I don't believe in bits actually rotting, there is one pressing issue: twinkle uses Qt3. While there are some patches reportedly allowing to build twinkle with Qt4, e.g. here, all seem to use a Qt3 compatibility layer of Qt4 which has been dropped in Qt5, AFAIK, so that those won't be very future-proof either.

Meet up NBG meeting room Paris with fellow Ruby on Rails hackers, throw an editor/shell onto the wall, grab a cup of coffee and refactor OSEM code together. That way we can share knowledge about setting up the development environment, editor tricks, RSpec patterns, gems or general rails code. Interested? Join us!

Get more familar with Greasemonkey User Scripting, in particular with using the IITC framework, which manipulates Ingress Intel map. The goal is to create a plugin, which highlights portals on the map, which have more fields than links attached. Ingress account is required for this (Android/iPhone). * <a href="https://www.ingress.com/&quot;&gt;https://www.ingress.com&lt;/a>

There's a crmsh history guide in works for a very long time and it really really needs to be finished. Good and interesting examples are very welcome.

Use Jenkins as a Travis replacement for YaST

Introduction

The idea is about virt-manager improvement. It calls libguestfs to provide 3 features for virt-manager:

OpenQA uses the VNC protocol to interface with a test system. This limits test systems to be virtualized. Bare metal (physical) systems do not provide VNC out-of-the-box.

While the python-based AppArmor utils (aa-logprof etc.) are much easier to understand and maintain than the old perl code, there are still some terribly long functions like parseprofiledata() in aa.py that are not too easy to understand. Also, using hasher() (a recursive array) as storage can have some strange side effects. Another problem is that test coverage isn't too good, especially for the bigger functions. I already wrote the CapabilityRule and CapabilityRuleset classes (and also the BaseRule and BaseRuleset classes) some months ago, and changed the code to use those classes. This code is already in upstream bzr.

I'll try to generate KDE4 and KDE Frameworks 5 packages for SLE12. After talking with plinnell and tittiatcoke, I refocused the project to generate mainly KDE4 packages and KDE5 packages if time allows it (instead of just KDE5 packages as I originally thought to do)

devel:languages:perl has 2662 packages, but many of them are outdated because it's just a fight no man can win to update them. So we update them whenver we hit a problem. But this is evil: I count 2662 packages in devel:languages:perl and 1188 of them are outdated. So I'll write a script... just as we did with gems

virt-builder main repository contains quite a few distro images, but no opensuse one. The goal of this project is to make OBS able to create a virt-builder repository out of a few kiwi packages. Ideally this would later be used to provide some official opensuse images for virt-builder.

Look into the design of the new experimental Mozilla Servo browser and try to build/run it on your machine. Servo Github page

The idea would be to setup an internal tmate.io server to make instant command line collaboration easier.

Futexes are complex enough that make it a good candidate for applying fuzzy testing techniques to the various inputs and operations that can be performed. Instead of re-writing any testing infrastructure, make use of the trinity system call fuzzing tool. While trinity does apply fuzzing to futexes, it does so with very limited knowledge, using only generic callbacks to the different steps involved. As such the main goal is extending testing coverage and making it more ad-hoc.

Cause the original [BLUG website](beijinglug.org) is too old and lack of security, so we plan to fully rework for this website. It will following such steps:

The FlightGear is a free and open source flight simulator. To introduce what FlightGear offers, there is a official getstart manual for beginner. The getstart manual written in English, so I try to translate it into Chinese, and add support for CJK character.

Our beloved competitor developed and use project-wide message bus called Fedora Infrastructure Message Bus. This project was already adapted, or is being adapted, also by Debian community. During Lucky Thirteen I want to get deeply familiar with the concept and implementation, deploy test scenario and write plugins for OBS and openQA to talk to each other.
