Main goal is to take a step back from work related areas and do something creative and relaxing. In my free time I occasionally do digital paintings/drawings where I usually try to use free and opensource software: Painting: Krita

Project Description

Legal reviews have been a quite painful part of our development process. The current situation in Factory waits for legaldb for a limited amount of time and simply proceeds further if the review is not "approved" within a few hours.

Project Description

spec-cleaner is an open-source project and command-line tool for automating the process of cleaning and improving RPM specfile quality and assuring that it follows a specific style guide. It can replace old elements with new ones and reorganize the specfile so it's clean and more readable.

Project Description

What personas are using Rancher? There is scope to get further insights into who uses Rancher and what part of the software delivers value to those individual personas.

Project Description

Some time ago I started writing an i8080 emulator as an exercise to learn more about Rust, Emulators and low-level understanding of how CPUs work. I never finished it though. Since the Gameboy is basically a slightly modified version of the i8080 for this Hackweek I want to use the existing skeleton that I have and write a full emulator for the Gameboy CPU.

Project Description

Aldi was/is selling the Medion Life P4000 Smartwatch, which is currently only supported by Medion's proprietary Fitness Pro App. It would be great to add support for this Smartwatch to Gadgetbridge, so that it can be used on a Android Smartphone without proprietary apps.

Project Description

Iguana installer/rescue initrd uses containers for all its functionality. However there is incredible development in WebAssembly (WASM) space where WASM images uses the same infrastructure as OCI images.

Project Description & Goal for this Hackweek

VSCodium is a feature rich text editor. The goal of this project is to find out which of its extensions to use for better DpcBook editing experience and how to add own features, for example, daps subcommands.

Project Description

Before the openSUSE 2022, we built a prototype of a command line interface for D-Installer just for demonstration purposes. It implements a limited set of functions and, apart from packaging changes, it has not received any relevant update for months.

Project Description

Store the OS root-tree on a container storage. The idea is to build a minimal golang tool capable to init a container storage to a custom location, store remote OCI images in there and mount them into a custom mountpoint. Next step is to craft a dracut based initrd including such a tool to mount the OS at boot. Finally, craft a disk with an EFI partition including the kernel, initrd and systemd-boot.

Project Description

Currently flatpak uses appstream-glib to parse and generate appstream files however, appstream-glib is no longer maintained and this has resulted in many features not being propagated to flatpak. There is currently 2 prs porting flatpak & flatpak-builder to appstream.

Project Description

klp-convert is a tool that is trying to be merged into the Linux Kernel to help livepatching non exported functions. Since kallsymsoneachsymbol and kallsymslookup_name were unexported, klp-convert appeared to solve the issue by creating relocation entries for non-export functions in the final livepatch module.

Project Description

Uyuni is the upstream community project from which the very popular SUSE Manager is derived. It uses its own QE test suite wirtten in Cucumber and Ruby. Currently the Uyuni test suite runs with Ruby 2.5.9 which is EOL since 2021. This is because the most current Ruby version for openSUSE Leap 15.4, which the test suite controller runs on, is still Ruby 2.5.9. Updating the Ruby version allows us to modernize the test suite code base and to use more recent Ruby gems that do not support the old Ruby version anymore.

Project Description

With the discontinuation of k3os, there is no minimal Linux available that bundles the OS with k3s, but with Elemental one can create custom images that can be extended. The community has been asking for this, but we don't have an immediate need for enterprise customers, so it hasn't been prioritized.

Project Description

Iguana is an attempt to have 100% stable initramfs which functionality is enhanced by containers.

Project Description

Darktable is an open source RAW development tool that can run on Linux, its UI is based on GTK and supports many cameras. And Ansel (firstly called R-Darktable) is a fork by Aurélien PIERRE, who (as he claimed) is a core-dev and resident color science guy of Darktable.

Project Description

regview is a heavily modified fork of the (no longer maintained) reg tool by Jess Frazelle for listing images in a Docker registry. Some features of reg were removed (like the webserver, to make it only cli) and others added. Some bugs were fixed (and PR's submitted) and others added as well.

Project Description

The Steam Deck is a portable gaming handheld built around platform technology similar to the one found in AMD mobile laptops. Vendor Valve ships a custom Linux distribution with downstream patches on this device, but booting into other distributions is possible. Connecting the Steam Deck to a dock can turn it into a compact workstation.

Project Description

Base Linux is a new distribution developed from scratch. It aims to have the stricter packaging system, to be customizable and to work as a base for other Linux distributions in all kind of environments, from desktop to servers and embedded systems.
