openQA webVTT subtitlesa project by bmwiedemann The webVTT standard (nearly the same as the older SRT subtitles) allows to add subtitles to a video. We could use this in openQA to show which keys were pressed at that point in the video, in which line of code we were or on what event we waited. This could make debugging easier and might be instructive to users, too. |
mount option helper for VFAT and other file systemsa project by sbrabec While auto-mounting a VFAT volume in a desktop environment, there is no way to select required mount options for the particular volume. But there is no combination of options that will fit to all purposes. Without being able to choose mount options, some tasks work in an inferior way. |
write mkcloudcloud - a nested cloud setup softwarea project by bmwiedemann In https://github.com/SUSE-Cloud/automation/ we already have mkcloud, which can setup a whole SUSE Cloud on a single host for testing. However, it would be cool, if (instead of a single machine) we could use cloud.suse.de with its capability to add extra networks as requested. This can be pretty easy, as much of the mkcloud code is about making libvirt do the right thing |
Improve posixovl to support fully featured POSIX file system on top of any limited file system (e. g. vfat)a project by sbrabec posixovl is a FUSE based successor of the old UMSDOS. It has a goal to provide POSIX file system functionality on top of vfat. Its code is nice and well written, but its feature set is not complete yet. It just supports: POSIX modes and user/group, hard and symbolic links, device nodes and named pipes. Much more can be done: |
YaST module for smarmontoolsan idea by sbrabec smartmontools has a number of options that fine tune disk checking, periodic tests, short tests, values to monitor, values to ignore. It would be nice to have a tool to easily configure it. |
Get some experience with High Availability Extensionan idea by puzel The objective of my project is to gain better understanding of HAE and get some hands-on experience with it. * read HAE documentation (11-SP3) |
[ARM] Ceph on AArch64an idea by algraf Octopuses have many ARMs, so we should definitely allow them to run on them too! Today, we don't have working Ceph packages for AArch64, but already solid interest from customers asking us about it. It would be great to be able to give them something to play with. |
[ARM] Bootstrap ILP32 on AArch64a project by algraf Some customers are still stuck in a world of 32bit. On ARM64, we have two options for those poor folks: 1) Run applications in the legacy ARMv7 instruction set |
Write a fault tolerant disk copy tool with file system specific pluginsan idea by j_gross When my laptop disk started to show read errors I searched for a tool capable to save the contents of the disk (multiple systems on it with different file system types). I couldn't find anything which would do a copy of the disk skipping unused areas and tolerating I/O-errors, so I ended up in re-installing all systems after I got a new disk. The ideal solution would be some clever combination of dd_rescue and tar which could be put on a live-CD like gparted and be able to save the disk in question. To save a 500GB disk with 200GB data on it the tool should require only some 200GB of empty disk space, not the full 500GB of the physical disk to be saved. |
Nailing Products to a Dashboarda project by m_meister Nailed is a Sinatra app which currently shows Bugzilla, Github and Jenkins [WIP] data. The data gets fetched/refreshed by a ruby command line tool in the background. you can have a look at a running instance on http://nailed.cloud.suse.de |
