Build a smart thermostat using an Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 board, a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor and a 2.4 TFT touch panel.

(was: Create a DRM driver for Matrox G200)

Update

Working on the documentation...

This nowadays is a supported HANA Scenario that has no much knowledge and documentation around. This project is basically to explore what we currently have, and maybe document some initial good practices around SAP HANA Scale-out to facilitate future developments and also our current supports.

To make it easier to debug openQA and Cavil i want to build a plugin similar to the mod_status Apache module for the Mojolicious web framework. Figuring out how to combine HTTP and WebSockets should be interesting. If time permits i also want to make it look a little bit like the Minion Admin UI from my last HackWeek project.

I bought and started reading this book a little while back and also "played along" by creating unprivileged LXC containers on my own system.

Motivation

GPUs are widely used for parallel computations and CUDA is platform which simplifies development of such applications for NVidia GPUs.

First thing you learn, when you start with salt, is to use test=True before you really call the highstate.

Add some features to libstorage-ng.

I'd like to write a tool that reports user's OBS work done in a given time frame (eg. week). It'll collect all the packages he/she submitted, all the reviews done or all the maintenance updates started or processed.

For every instance of OBS, each time the obs-api package is updated the obsapidelayed service is reloaded. This takes more time than is expected.

** UPDATE **

I currently have a lot of personal infrastructure that is in need of some tender loving care and transactionalisation

• Check packages that I maintain or are in devel projects that where I am maintainer and update them.
• Check bugzilla for issues filled for said packages

The goal of this project is to get an overview of the state-of-the-art technology on training and deploying machine learning projects with kubernetes and apply that to a SUSE CaaSP cluster.

SUSE Quiet is an acoustic version of SUSE Loud, the former SUSE Band from Maxtorhof.

I'll have a look at Hyper-V 2019 test build and how SLES guest plays with it.

I plan to learn Go, first by going through the official 'Tour of Go', then implementing simple caldav client to help me with work reports.

The vacuum cleaner from Ecovacs use XMPP (or at least something very similar to it) to communicate with their respective mobile apps. Based on the things available in https://github.com/wpietri/sucks and https://github.com/torbjornaxelsson/bumper I'd like to implement a small replacement for the server side to be able to run that on my local server.

Deploy openSUSE Leap 15.0 image to Linux subsystem on Windows Server 2019 and try things around.

Docker for Windows 18.03 CE supports Linux containers on Windows Server. Let's try that.

There are a lot of open source projects out there. They have a wide spectrum of governance models. It's a critical component to the success of a project so it's worth learning from others and consciously deciding on how governance is set up for a project. It's also a critical factor to assess projects and a subject for research.

Monasca is a powerful tool in the OpenStack arsenal. It brings metrics and alarms to the operator. It even pairs grafana with horizon. It currently monitors Swift, but just the processes. But there is so much more we can grab.

SmartOS is converged container and virtual machine hypervisor based on illumos, an OpenSolaris fork. SmartOS supports KVM & bhyve hypervisors and illumos, LX, & Docker zones ("containers").

Matrix (https://matrix.org/blog/home/ ) is a slack / rocket-chat clone, fully decentralized.

The most important task for my first hackweek - accessibility of the Gnome Shell.

Let's see how correctly the FreeBSD emulation layer works.

When using files that should be in an accessible file system, quite often I have been in a situation where

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.

Synopsis

JRuby 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.

Update: Ruqola ('zypper in ruqola') is now in Tumbleweed and Leap 15.2!

I want to learn more about robotics. The goal is to have a small robot at the end of the week.

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.

I have previously implemented a major portion of the C++ standard library for HelenOS [0][1][2] as part of my master thesis. In this project, I will be adding

I plan to work on libgphoto2 Lumix WiFi support.

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! :-)

The idea is to look at some technologies:

Use mouse to select a word on the screen, popup a small icon, click icon, then show a window to display word online translation result.

motivation

Many 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".

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.

Description

LanguageTool is a style and grammar checker for 25+ languages https://languagetool.org

Given that free time is always a scarce resource, I'd like to use the hack week to work on v2.0 for OTPClient

During the previous Hackweek I did a workshop in a Montessori school. This time I would like the same but with focusing on Robotics.

I would like to convert a very cheap foam toy plane into a radio control plane

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.

Produce a ~3 min demoscene using modern javascript libraries combining graphics with original music.

The youngest architecture addition to the mainline Linux kernel was C-Sky (arch/csky/).

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:

Few weeks ago whilst analyzing the possibility of using Terraform[1] via terraform-libvirt [2] plugin, I came across Terratest [3], which is an automated testing framework.
