Mash is a Python based CI/CD pipeline for automated testing and publishing of public cloud images. Currently the production and development deployment for the package is inconsistent, slow and manual. This is a barrier to rapid development, deployment and testing. It also means the development workflow is different than production. This can lead to production issues which were not seen during development.

Future of tools supporting editors in dealing with particular languages is in my opinion in the LSP protocol. Therefore I look with a bit of worry on the fact that there is no good LSP server based on the top of rope. python-language-server uses it a bit internally, the Microsoft Language Server for Python is in C#, so it is completely something different.

Well, we often stuck in YaST team with knowledge what users really use and how much. But we have yast logs in many bug reports. And from those logs we can see which modules users use the most. So goal of this project is to write script that analyze given tarballs with logs and print result about usage of yast clients.

There are various home assistant solutions out there but all of them transfer your voice to some server for processing. This is a no-go for sane people although the technology is interesting and could be useful. There are various open source tools out there to achieve the same result but there is no turn key open source self hosted solution. The goal of this project is to implement a way to have a home assistant running locally - ideally with one command.

Finglonger is an internal tool used by the SUSE Manager team intended to make the life of the Round Robin Bug Guy easier. It was originally written by @fkobzik in Clojure.

define data types to collect informations about cameras and lenses to have a shared data store for lensfun and photo editors.

****The motivation is create a open source solution, base on this business astronomy products: AZWO Asiair

I recently bought a Lioncast LK200 RGB keyboard which is a nice piece of hardware and has exactly the look and feel I want. All basic functions work well under Linux. Unfortunately the manufacturer only provides user software to upload/download profiles and control the LEDs for Windows. The device can be configured and operates autonomously from any OS but color setup is a PITA and it's very easy to factory-reset, and lose all config.

SUSE CaaS Platform is a Cloud-Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) certified Kubernetes distribution.

Overview

DevOps teams face double sided challenges: development tasks should be planable and maintenance tasks should maintain their flow to provide maximum value through the queue. Build a prototype JIRA project to help them organize their workload with a Scrum board for their development tasks and a Kanban board for their maintenance work, all fed from a common backlog.

SUSE is using OBS as a build system and openQA for automated testing purposes. The goal of the study is to find out the strengths and weaknesses of these systems and compare them to other open source alternatives in a structured way.

The plan is to start working towards a rewrite of xdg-utils in python, focusing on the really bad bits such as dealing with desktop files and mime handling.

The Maintenance Coordination, Security and Quality Assurance department documentation is organized and handled on Confluence and there are several pages and how-to available for new team members or other colleagues searching for more information. The processes and workflow documentation is a key asset for on-boarding quickly new employees and for improving existing workflows.

As per the title I am aiming to investigate a much nicer conky default, I have a short list, but it depends on asking people nicely to license there work, if I have to create something from scratch it probably won't happen this hackweek.

Working with some of the Linux modding communities I am aiming to make the ultimate guide / knowledge base for modifying the look and feel of your Linux install.

openSUSE Leap 15.2 is currently under development and it will be released soon. We would like to bring Kubernetes support for it and offer kubeadm deployment on it. As Kubernetes cluster container images we can use images from kubic project.

I plan to summary exist knowledge in filesystem part during hackweek. And learn some more feature about btrfs/xfs/ext4. The motivation is to speed up test result review in the future.

Have a play with SUSE CAP on AWS during this hackweek.

I want to study the knowledge of openQA I will read the online documents and do some experiment in virtal-machine.

Description

Create a tool which will make it possible to monitor the lifecycle of pods in a kubernetes cluster (as well as other types of tabular or structured data), and provide a convenient user interface for viewing and interpreting that data. This will be useful in development and testing of our kubernetes-based container platform (Cloud Application Platform), as it will allow us to better understand where things are going wrong when we encounter component failures.

I tried to work blockchain into this, just so we could cover the trifecta of buzz words. Sadly I could not maintain saintly and do this.

Let's pick some old classic game, reverse engineer the data formats and game rules and write an open source engine for it from scratch. Some games from 1990s are simple enough that we could have a playable prototype by the end of the week.

We currently maintain all drivers in the SUSE kernel tree. While this is a well-established procedure, it also has a number of drawbacks in my opinion. I've been experimenting with a different model, tracking (so far, only one) driver in a separate git repository, and packaging it as kernel module package (KMP). This way of working fits my own mental model of code development better than the quilt style we employ in day-to-day driver maintenance.

The goal is to find a way for developing and simple testing an IONIC based multiplatform app with REST API on openSUSE. The focus is to find a way to secure token handling for SSO.

I'm hearing impaired. Where others have no issues following talks or dicussions, I often fail even grasp the bottom line what it's about. I've got hearing aids, but they help only so much. I also have an add-on device for my hearing aids that acts like a bluetooth headset. Unfortunately, making this thing work under my Linux desktop has been an ongoing, frustrating struggle. On the contrary, it works flawlessly with Android devices of different generations, and even with my lowly Gigaset phone. Actually, the thing works better with older kernels/Linux versions than with current TW.

ABF is a buildsystem developed by ROSA (rosalab.com) and OpenMandriva (https://www.openmandriva.org/) currently being used for their distribution.

Take the oportunity to learn Kubernetes, to play with AWS and compare performance and availability of openQA and OBS instances and openSUSE Mirrors running on AWS.

Debian

I got a Raspberry pi 4 not long ago, I'd like to install openSUSE Leap 15.2(Alpha) on it, and set up hass - Home Assistant, a open source home automation assistant on rpi4, then have some fun with it!

The Gameshell is a small game console based on AllWinner R16 (Cortex-A7, IIRC the same CPU that the RPi2). Currently is supporting Debian, and some community member ported ArchLinux on it.

Many cases are Client-Server testing or Multi-Machine testing in FIPS area, I plan to hack and learn more deeply about Multi-Machine test automation in openQA.

Create DevOps automation for testing PTFs prior to delivering to customers, that will be available to each of the team members using standard L3 tools.

Investigate possibilities for the distributed builds for Ceph to speed up builds.

Learn and use tools to build/deploy SUSE/openSUSE to the KVM environment for developing kernel CVE patches and testing automation

I started 3 years ago creating a CNC, but soon last past 6 monts I realized that I could use it as a 3D printer. The software was good enough, the hardware and firmware had evolved. And now I could print 200x200x300 pieces with 0.1mm precision.

Solid Ground is an essential software tool for the daily tasks of an L3 agent. A continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), and even more a continuous deployment, approach is currently missing from its development ecosystem slowing down its release cycles.

Put together a collection of ideas and resources to mentor people managers on how to make better decisions:

Diagnosing issues with stalling desktop application (or a whole desktop environment) is difficult these days as the application often requires multiple processes interconnected with sockets, pipes, futexes, etc. to work and often it is not clear which process is the one responsible for blocking the whole ecosystem. The idea of this project is to write a tool that gathers information about processes in the system and for each process that is sleeping display the resource (file, socket, futex) it is waiting on as well as the process that is likely responsible for unblocking (feeding pipe, sending data to socket, unlock futex, ...). Once the information is gathered, we can also plot it for graphical displaying with tools like graphviz.

This issue has been blocked for a while due to time constraints so I want to take Hackweek 19 to work on it.

Currently AWS uses a SMT solver to decide on public/non-public policies https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/protect-sensitive-data-in-the-cloud-with-automated-reasoning-zelkova/

Avahi is (among others) a domain names auto-configuration system for Linux compatible with Bonjour.

transactional-update, the application to update read-only systems such as openSUSE MicroOS and openSUSE Kubic and the Transactional Server installations of openSUSE Leap, openSUSE Tumbleweed and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, evolved from a POC to a fully fledged solution - and is currently completely written in Bash. This has been working really well in the past, but is gradually reaching its limits, especially when thinking about supporting additional file systems or ports to other Linux distributions - yes, we have a huge interest in other distributions adopting our technology.

The idea is to hack os-autoinst-distri-opensuse infrastucture and explore design patterns that can fit. The end point of this is to restructure the framework in such a way that the main-common.pm is more efficient, functional and readable.

Once more mailprocessing has developed some bitrot, namely this recent crash:

Testing GUIs is hard: unit tests require a tremendous amount of mocking and often don't capture the exact user input anyway, integration tests on the other hand are difficult to setup as they often require a dedicated infrastructure with virtual machines.

Motivation

For years we have been discussing the idea to modularize SUSE Manager. This would enable developers to create their own extensions to SUSE Manager without needing to touch the core repository.

Salt is moving towards a plugable architecture using POP and Idem. This project is about experimenting with those new concepts by applying them to a real life case: the virt execution and state modules.

Thinking about extending the typical Twitter app that let's a user bulk-delete their tweets (with a limit of 3200 each time).

Why is it nice?

Learn the inner workings of TCP as implemented in the Linux kernel. This will involve

It's not always straightforward to open a core dump originating from customer's environment, since there's a wide variety of versions of all the binaries involved - usual workflow is to install a VM with the SP that the customer is using, enable debuginfo repositories and then follow the buildid hints that gdb is providing.

Problem description

This is kinda continuation of my last hackweek project - learning python3 the parcical way. The goal is again to replace existing bash script which will generate 3 node KVM HA cluster on my workstation and automate quite a boring part of HA regression testing.

Since SUSE Manager doesn't scale out and stacking it into another pyramid of susemanagers won't help here, the real architectural changes needs to be done to achieve true scale-out of this product. This hackweek project is about how to Turn SUSE Manager into a cluster.

Last hackweek filtra was created – a tool to extract information like lead and cycle times from Github repos for (but not limited to) projects that are doing Kanban. The collected metrics can then be visualized with Grafana.
