As there is no progress around MIrrorPinky since 5 years now, let's say the project is dead and look for something different, which allows Mirror administrators to edit the settings of their own mirrors. The Fedora people developed a WebUI named mirrormanager for their admins - let's see if we can get it somehow connected to our MIrrorBrain database and use this as frontend instead.

Hackweek 21?

Postmaster desperately needs a mail spool. I need to come up with a good way to store meta information about queued messages. An sqlite database seems like a natural fit because I might want to do some nontrivial queries in there to figure out which messages to deliver (and where). On the other hand, interfacing with sqlite is a bit unpleasant, so instead I might want to write one big JSON file that contains all relevant information. That would certainly suffice for the first version ...

Currently the CPU subsystem of Collectl can get the CPU loading but no CPU power state. My idea is that tracing turbostat then developing a collectl module to get the CPU power state. It can be used to monitor C-state or frequency. Reference: Collectl's HelloWorld module, turbostat

It's clear that in Kubernetes world, SUSE and openSUSE chose Cilium as the main network provider, which also means choosing BPF and XDP as underlying technologies for implementing datapath and packet filtering. That's different from what we are doing in OpenStack. SUSE OpenStack Cloud provides mostly Open vSwitch DPDK as a network solution.

The YES Certification Tool Kit has long needed Video Tutorials for clean step-by-step tool usage and configuration. These will be done with video screen scrapes and audio overlay.

The state of the art of sysv/posix ipc benchmarking is a combination of ad-hoc programs scattered over the internet. While some mechanisms, such as sysv semaphores, have a lot of coverage, others really lack (message queues), and some are simply non-existent; albeit some of the legacy flavors we aren't too concerned with, other than them being functionally correct. Consolidate all this by taking the good benchmarks and implement new ones where needed, such as message queues, everything around the 'perf bench' framework. This will both improve the lives of us who hack on kenrel ipc as well as improve coverage overall. Eventually mmtests should be updated as well.

QLogo is a UCBLogo-compatible implementation of the Logo language using Qt and OpenGL. QLogo was designed with the language interpreter integrated into the GUI. For Hackweek 18 I want to separate the interpreter from the GUI so that QLogo can be run from the command line or from a shell script.

To ease debugging cgroup relates issues this suggests to: - list cgroup hierarchy tree(s),

During the last year Askbot, a question and answer oriented internet tool, similar to stack overflow has been tested for internal usage. The testing went well and it was decided to use the tool in a larger scope.

Let's make reposync faster

Every day,

What is the VFX Reference Platform? https://www.vfxplatform.com/FAQ/

There are various email synchronization programs like offlineimap or mbsync, which have some inherent limitations: - mbsync does not support IMAP IDLE

The idea is to explore the technologies and the various components to realize some AI to predict pitfalls in source code which can potentially generate run-time misbehaviours. The potential area where this idea could have positive implications are:

The experience while navigating throughout the UI of Suse Manager it's not that nice. Whenever we navigate to a new page, the whole page gets refreshed and recreated, even when half of it didn't change a thing, for instance, the menu, topbar, and the notifications WebSocket connection, which in my opinion doesn't provide a smooth experience. This project has the goal to test out an automatic way to transform the Suse Manager UI into a Single Page Application.

What is meCoffee? The meCoffee is a small PID that can be used to upgrade an Espresso machine with some new features. It supports mostly the Rancilio Silvia. The initiator of meCoffee is starting to Open Source his work and has already done so by opening up the meBarista application for Android, iOS and Chrome.

Out of nowhere the idea came up to organize a rum tasting session on one of the HackWeek evenings. There will be some information about the actual production of rum provided, as well as the different kind of rum existing.

Learn tinycc (tcc). Fix bugs, write features, etc. Hack on tcc.

The purpose of this project is to train myself in SUSE Manager and SaltStack. SUSE Manager delivers a best-in-class open source IT infrastructure management solution for software-defined infrastructure powered by SaltStack, a Python-based open-source configuration management software and remote execution engine.

Since commit 556b535 windows can be switched in taskbar order using the mouse wheel. They taskbar buttons can also be rearranged with drag and drop.

I got a good textbook for learning Czech and I will be diving into it this week, focus on mainly in grammar and self-study, planning to use my "Welcome to SUSE" stickers to write down some interesting words in Czech and Spanish to fix better the vocabulary. Despite my survival Czech is ok to live in the country I am very curious to know better how is the internal machinery of this language so It will be beneficial for the future.

The goal of this project is to get an overview of the containers, Kubernetes and CaaSP.

After playing around with Terraform, a wild idea appeared to write a plugin for SCC. The code for the plugin is in the

What is Brine?

grub2-minimize-config

Replace the config-generating scripts to generate a minimalist grub2 config

The Fuji X series cameras are not well supported in libgphoto2 yet. I want to borrow some for the Hackweek and fix the bugs in libgphoto2.

Currently, each filesystem developer does his fstests runs (a testsuite for regression-testing of filesystems) on his dedicated test machine, on Orthos machine, ... This not only means duplication of efforts to automate this testing but also leads to inefficient use of resources (sometimes the test machine is just idle, sometimes you would need more tests to run in parallel to speed up development). The goal of this effort is to use SUSE Engineering Cloud to implement fire-and-forget fstests runs where you specify kernel to test (fetched from git tree or so), fstests configs to run, and then just pick up test results later on...

A few months ago, I started thinking "it cannot be that hard to model my house using some CAD software". And of course I miserably failed. I'm using this week as an opportunity to take the time to learn about CAD and manage to do something with it. And it's a good project where I can deal with interruptions (which are expected).

Planning to do some deep learning course sessions e.g. fastai , google ML crash course etc. Also try to understand common tools (tensorflow, jupyter notebook, numpy, pandas, pytorch) and practices e.g. Convoluation neutral nets, SGD used to solve learning problems. Aim is to get ready for kaggle competition (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions) eventually to test out learning and develop intuition around categories of learning problems.

Somebody do something! Goals

This involves customizing a tumbleweed image to configure cloud-init and adding other elements like docker, kubernetes, etcd, flannel which are required to get a kubernetes cluster running either using kiwi or disk image builder.

Problem

I have a broken disk - it has a broken head and I have a replacement disk with the head I want to transplant. I already tried head transplantation on old not needed disks. Those that only head 1 arm were doable with straw method, but this disks has 3 arms so I need a tool to hold the arms in place.

I use Qt for Python for the GUI and feedparser for dealing with the RSS feeds.

When we started brain storming a project for hack week, one of the floated ideas was to remake the 1983 film WarGames, and for lack of available space, a local lot with storage units was proposed. Over the course of the following years, while we planned, we realized that this whole idea would not be the most feasible, but it still felt like we were onto something. Eventually, we settled with keeping the name and changing the scope.

/media was a very comfortable thing standardized by FHS. After introduction of desktop based udisks mounts, the directory became empty. Paths like /run/media/me/directory or /run/user/1000/gvfs are used nowadays. When used from a terminal, it is very uncomfortable. As mounts are private to users, the old style of /media use cannot be returned back. But with a kernel namespaces feature, it is possible to make private mounts, and each user can see a different contents of /media.

My first hands-on machine learning using scikit-learn and tensorflow. If there is time in the end i would like to implement it into one of my existing projects by maybe processing some sensor data.

learn both and be awesome

Sometimes - I just miss an important IRC message or a beginning meeting, which is not good :smile: So I decided to play around with the following stuff:

Join us in singing a capella — barbershop-style and others. Find us on RocketChat: #chameleon-harmonists

The incredible Neal Gompa has packaged Open Shift Origin (RH's core Docker + Kubernetes stack) for openSUSE Links:

As title says, I want to finish the Windows Subsystem for Linux images of SLES and Leap 15, which Fabian Vogt provided, so they can be shipped to the Windows Store.

zypp-closure is a small helper tool making use of libzypp and the metadata of product repositories. The idea is to generate a dependency closure for a package or list of packages based on repositories metadata.

"salt-toaster" allows you to test multiple Salt package flavors across different operating systems via Docker containers. This project is heavily used on the SUSE Manager team to hardening the Salt package that is shipped on the openSUSE/SLE distributions. Link to GitHub repository The "salt-toaster" execution is divided on different steps (image building, container spinning, salt key acceptance, tests execution, etc) but currently we only get the global results for the entire testsuite execution.

Volumio is a great, Linux based, open source music player for Raspberry PI and x86. archive.org is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.

Can we improve the remote hackweek experience for remote or non NUE people at SUSE? Feel free to discuss and share ideas.

Hi, We would like to make a new demo showcase similar to our previous LEGO excavators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJdZ3kr2u9o

I use the KDevelop IDE whenever I can. At SUSE mostly for reading code while debugging some bug. My plan is to create plugin that will show extra information inline with the code to make it easier to explore foreign code. Examples include showing names of function parameters at call site, elided types of variables (e.g. C++ auto, lambda parameters), comments next to closing brackets etc.

A social network for Bugs and test cases! Connecting bugs with test cases, products and each other. Making them depressed and easily mislead. Allowing us to interfere with their elections and sell them solutions to problems they didn't even know they had.

Aims to understand Flatpak(previously aka xdg-app), an application sandboxing and distribution framework (formerly xdg-app) on Linux. The final goal is "build my first app". Related docs: http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest

The Doc team decided to collect remainders of foreign currencies to donate them to a 3rd world project. There is a box in the Documentation office on 1st floor AND in the All Hands Area where you can drop coins, bills or whatever currency you have left over from your last holiday trip that you don't need anymore.

I'm planning to get basics of Reactive Programming and especially the documentation in ReactiveX and try some examples from RxPy Interesting links:

[CaaS] [CAP] Work on a long term solution for L3 team to easily reproduce customer's issues I had previously cobbled up a "one script CaaS2 installer":

1. Boot up MACCHIATObin with a linux kernel
2. Boot up MACCHIATObin with opensuse

Have several raspberry pis at hand, and also bought a Zodiac a while ago, will setup a software define network with ryu. Also will check on package possibility for ryu in opensuse 1 Firmware update:

0 Background This will be a verification test for Intel i915, code has been merged into kernel 4.16 and qemu 2.12, will provide a setup manual as output.

https://github.com/cornelius/yes_ship_it i was really curious about this project but i never had the time to use it.

just learning this awesome software we contribute at @suse upstream.

I'd like to spent some time improving the network for our office in Gran Canaria in the following aspects: - Mini rack: Get a cheap or second hand mini rack to put all the network equipment inside.

Abstract:

• Cloud hosted applications are now composed of many microservices often deployed in containers. When things go wrong, are slow, or just not understood, where can we turn?
  

I have been known to talk anybody I held presentations with into using odpdown. That was always a little awkward, since it started off with pip install odpdown, rather than zypper install odpdown. I want to fix this awkwardness and package odpdown properly so it can be installed as a RPM package. I'll also include the auxiliary infrastructure I've added around it over the years (various Makefiles and scripts for generating transcripts from comments) to the package so others can benefit from that stuff, too.

The aim is to replace dump file read routines in makedumpfile with library functions from libkdumpfile. This should enable (among other things) filtering Xen DomU dump files.

At the suggestion of Hannes, I would like to try to make mhvtl work with tcmu-runner. Mhvtl is a tape-drive emulation package, which emulates various types of tapes drives and tape robot units (for loading drives). This package was originally based on the kernel debug SCSI driver, and still has a kernel component. This kernel component talks to user-space via a special character device. It would be nice to take away the kernel component, so that it's easier to compile and use this package, since the current mhvtl kernel driver has not been merged upstream so has to be supplied as a KMP. [And KMPs are evil.]

This is a small learning hackweek that i will do in parallel with my others hackweek and elixir projects https://chaoss.community/

The idea behind this is to have a application, which observe the usage of AWS instances and later other providers like azure and google. This could be used with public cloud tests in openQA.

Seastar is an advanced, open-source C++ framework for high-performance server applications on modern hardware. Seastar is used in Scylla, a high-performance NoSQL database compatible with Apache Cassandra Ceph community is currently working on migration to this project as well.

Setup a SUMA Server in a VM on my workstation. Playing around to find out, how it works and how to add new functionality (like sapconf or saptune). Learning a little bit SALT will - hopefully - be the nice side effect.

The subject says it. Learning about DHT seems like a fun project.

Develop a proof of concept frontend based on React and Material-UI as an alternative to the JSP/Struts based frontend currently available.

There's sadly not much time to enjoy Factorio with friends, so from economy perspective it makes sense not to have the server running when it's not used. The plan would be:
