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.

Get an overview about the unofficial Google Drive clients, which exist for Linux. Give them a broader testing. Figure out which one is usable. * grive: With using that client I've seen fatal issues, e.g. I've created a folder upstream and uploaded some files to it. When running

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.
