Release DAPS 2.0 a project by fsundermeyer DAPS, the "DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite" provides a tool set for easy creation and publication of DocBook sources on Linux.

The official DAPS release is 1.1.7. SUSE internally DAPS 2.0 rc2 has been released. A few issues need to be fixed (mainly closing open bugs and adding missing test cases). The goal of this project is to fix these issues, so DAPS 2.0 can be publicly released. Updated about 2 years ago. 6 hacker ♥️.
Crowbar on openSUSE a project by tboerger In order to build a community around crowbar, our cloud installer, we need to get this running on openSUSE as well. So let's find some time to move the packaging of crowbar from the ibs to the obs! In the end, there should be working packages in Updated about 2 years ago. 9 hacker ♥️.
bug screening helper a project by bmwiedemann The Problem: many bugs filed for openSUSE go to the screening-team by default and often remain there for weeks, so that developers (who would be interested in analyzing or fixing these bugs) do not learn about them. However, the screening process is a hard one Updated about 2 years ago. 8 hacker ♥️.
Packages for vagrant an idea by tboerger To really start with vagrant within the company and our company it would be awesome to create real SUSE packages for vagrant and some other cool and important plugins. It's not that easy like it sounds because vagrant runs within the upstream rpm in an embedded ruby container that needs to be fixed for our system packages. Updated about 5 years ago. 4 hacker ♥️.

Resistance is Futile - Using zypper to "upgrade" CentOS/RHEL to openSUSE/SLES a project by RBrownSUSE zypper is magic A number of experiments suggest that it may be feasible to run zypper from an openSUSE 'live' media against a 'foreign' RPM based OS installation (eg. CentOS) and then 'zypper dup' to openSUSE Updated over 4 years ago. 23 hacker ♥️.
Replace the SUSE Manager client stack with an existing configuration management software a project by kwk Intro The SUSE Manager client stack is rather simple, in regular intervals it asks the SUSE Manager Server for scheduled actions and executes them. Updated about 2 years ago. No love.
Improve ftpboot for z/VM a project by azouhr Installing linux on z/VM requires some way to punch kernel/initrd/parmfile into the reader which in turn can be booted. In a previous hackweek, I wrote a small tool, that makes it possible to do so directly from the internal ftp server. this has been proven valuable but not perfect. This tool should be improved to Updated about 3 years ago. No love.
Git like subcommand support for zypper an idea by mlandres Add subcommand support for zypper. That is, if 'zypper foo' is not found, look for %{_libexec}/zypper/zypper-foo just like git does. Then those subcommands could be binaries linked to libzypp or just scripts. Updated about 5 years ago. 7 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Teach zypp to query/download/mirror multiarch repos an idea by mlandres Zypp offers only those items within a repository, which are 'installable', i.e. 'compatible' with the systems architecture. But there are several use cases, up to mirroring a whole repository, where people would like to query, resolve and download items of foreign architecture without actually installing them. Offering those items in libzypp should be quite easy, but we must also make sure nothing 'stupid' happens if zypper also sees uninstallable items in the pool. Updated almost 5 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
