Dochazka is a long-term project to replace the obsolete Attendance & Time Tracking system used by the Prague office since 2007. Dochazka is a complex system consisting of three major components: - RESTful backend App::Dochazka::REST (with lots of help from Web::MREST)

Machinery supports inspection of SLES11 and SLES12 systems right now. It would be beneficial to be able to also inspect RHEL systems for various reasons:

Look once again on Xperia Tablet Z and try to have there openSUSE running natively as alternative operating system. I'm able to work on that only during my vacations or hackweeks so

New Development In previous hack weeks, the first few days ended up being wasted on just getting it working. I'm pleased to share that the code quality has improved dramatically since the last hack week and there are now extensive test cases for both unit testing and testing against real vmcores, and we'll use both mypy and pylint (if installed) to perform static analysis. Packages for those are available in openSUSE or as part of the crash-python OBS repo for SLE15. It has been tested with kernels from 3.0 to 5.1.

This will greatly enhance the usefulness of QEMU virtual serial ports, because the Linux kernel interprets a break on the serial console as a SysRq, but there is currently no way to pass this signal over a pseudo-terminal.

QA uses a dashboard (SUSE internal: http://qa.suse.de/dashboard/ ) to provide an overview of various data to assess the quality of a product. The project is about improving the available data points and the usability for users outside of QA department.

In last hackweek, I implemented a RSA private key parser in kernel: https://github.com/SUSE/hackweek/wiki/RSA-private-key-parser-in-kernel

After https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/105 the next thing to merge is hermes. Use ActionMailer for events

Use machine learning and natural language processing techniques to analyze the changes made in a project, and classify them in: * Small / unimportant fix

Intel Rapid Start Technology(IRST) is a firmware mechanism enables your system to get up and running faster from sleep, saving time and power consumption, it will cause the system to wake up from S3 and suspend to S4(with SSD)[1]. Currently kernel 3.11 already support it[2], however there haven't a graphic tool to control its wakeup event and timeout, like as similar tool on Windows[3]. This Hackweek I'll create a YaST module to handle those parameters. [1] http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/26022.html

Finish extension for server side history for jabberd2 server and create a simple webui to browse it using tntnet. Part of the project is to learn to use tntnet toolkit, other part is to have server side history.

The goal of my project is to achieve total world domination. == Hell, yeah!

xfstests is rather comprehensive filesystem testing framework used for functional filesystem testing. The aim of this project is to integrate xfstests with our qa_automation framework so that xfstests can be run in it and results are automatically processed and stored in qadb.

Although there isn't much demand right now, it won't be long before >256 vcpus in a KVM guest will be desired. Currently, due to 8 bit apic ids only being used the limit is 256. Implement the x2apic infrastructure that will allow QEMU + KVM to break the 256 vcpu barrier.

There are issues with S3 and S4 handling in a KVM SLES or openSUSE guest. I'd like to figure out what's going wrong and get things fixed as much as possible.

I want to continue my work on this feature for a CAT (Computer Aided Translation) program, OmegaT. When translating a segment (usually a sentence), I would like OmegaT to automatically replace all words it finds in an active glossary by their translations. This will save the translator some time.

Write a tool to generate documentation (README.md) from chef cookbook attributes files including the comments that describe the attributes. The goal is to use this with the openstack chef cookbooks from https://github.com/stackforge/ and maybe integrate it the upstream Gerrit as a Jenkins job. The project is hosted at: github/mapleoin/chef-attrdoc

In case any of the source files changed, openSUSE Build Service rebuilds the dependent packages regardless of whether that particular modification affects the dependency. This makes our resources footprint bigger (and the electrical power bills higher). It also affects users, because every new package build causes the package manager to include that package in the next update thus consuming network bandwidth and resources of users' computers.

Current OBS controls for package rebuild triggers

The evfilter project (https://github.com/lhc4/libevfilter/) isn't able to substitute multiple events to one event or vice versa. I want to improve that and repair some other bugs.

Build an open-source appliance editor for SUSE Studio that interacts only with the API, using modern JS web frameworks. For users, this provides an opportunity to influence, or create unique tailored editing experiences for Studio appliances. For Studio maintainers, this provides a road towards a modern appliance editor, and a chance to remove tens of thousands of lines of brittle legacy code. For hackers, this provides a chance to get your feet wet with modern client-side web technologies, like

Feeling very comfortable with your (open)SUSE desktop? Don't get too comfortable; there's a lot of innovation out there. Try living in a different system for a few days, and see if you can find some innovative paradigms to bring back 'home' with you. Here's a few suggestions: * Feeling really crazy? Try Windows 8

pyg will be a PEG parser library formed as an internal Python DSL. it will be used in cramex, a copycat of cram with expect support. The surface is heading to resemble Boost.Spirit: grammars are composed using a vaguely (xBNF/PEG)-like syntax enabled through operator overloading.

QADB is the database used to strore results of automated tests in SUSE QA. It only has web intrface, which is mostly just a better DB view. The goal of this project is to create the REST API to it, which can later be used to query for results from external tools (and maybe even later used by the frontend)

Initial idea to build a tool to help rubygems community to rotate maintainers for abandoned projects. Many new developers would like to maintain a project to learn new stuff and many good projects are abandoned by initial authors.

The basic idea behind learning language is to ensure three parts: * Grammar

I've been running a podcast together with two friends for over a year now. We have a recording and mixing process going, but unfortunately it involves using non-free operating systems and software all the way through. It is probably going to be hard to get away from using the things we use for the actual recording part for a while, but one thing I feel should be perfectly doable in openSUSE is the mastering bit. In theory, Audacity could work for this, but it is old and clunky and doesn't do real-time filtering, making it annoying to use.

The libvirt TCK provides a framework for performing testing of the integration between libvirt drivers, the underlying virt hypervisor technology, related operating system services and system configuration. The idea (and name) is motivated by the Java TCK. Currently the libvirt TCK is not fully packaged for SUSE and the test suite itself contains a lot of Redhat-isms. Mike Latimer and Jim Fehlig will work on properly packaging libvirt TCK (it has a LOT of perl dependencies) and patching it to work better with SUSE virtualization hosts and SUSE guest operating systems. It has traditionally focused on the KVM hypervisor, so there might be some progress made to make it work better with Xen too.

Read in a crash or oops-style backtrace and access DWARF information to output the current content of the stack and registers in term of symbols, and the the crash commands to dump/pretty print them. In other words, when looking at a crash dump, answer the questions "Which variable is currently stored in $rax? What is the structure of the stack? Which variable is stored at $rsp+16?"

Status at the end of hackweek 10

The SMBus standard specifies an address resolution protocol (SMBus ARP.) It has two key features : * Handle I2C slave address collisions. If two SMBus slaves would use the same I2C address, ARP lets one of them pick a different address to avoid the address collision.

My plan is to add some more features to Weblate. The list is definitely not complete, but I'd like to check at least following areas: * [Support for federated login using GitHub, OpenID, Facebook,...][170]

The Proposal

(Idea originally suggested by Mel Gorman)

Add MOKx for blacklisting any specific hash of kernel module. For kernel module sign function, similar to dbx in UEFI, we need a MOKx for blacklisting kernel module that can avoid direct revoke the modsign key in MOK or kernel.

Gathering detailed information about hardware in an automated way with chef using an ohai plugin enhances transparency about the hardware being used in a datacenter. The idea is to write a plugin for ohai that gatheres information from hard drives used in a node that runs chef-client.

Moving objects to a new container is a problem everyone in R&D has faced at least once in his life. It requires a very advanced algorithm to pack the many different objects (which are generally heterogeneous, with different uses, types, weights and sizes), before the packs can then be transferred to the new container, generally through a dedicated bus. We can identify some usual cases: * In the worst case, the new container can be smaller than the old one, and a garbage collector is generally used to help find a solution that satisfies the problem (a SAT solver can be used to determine which objects should be destroyed).

The bootloader menu has to be able to list snapshots created with tagged attribute by snapper or other tools. These attributes control how snapshots are displayed and organized in the boot menu. All the changes are reflected in real time, that is when a snapshot is created it's ready to boot without the hassle to call grub2-mkconfig to refresh menu. The operation and navigating to the snapshot is intuitive and out of box and booting is even more easy to hit the button. The hackweek is based on current implementation to improve the code structure and testing, like code clean up and make it in better shape get upstreamed, improving the menu to use extended attribute to organize the boot menu with defined attributes which can be tagged by snapshot tools like snapper etc.
