While in the past MIPS boards were either low-end PIC32 or found in routers running OpenWRT at most, Imagination themselves have recently released the Creator CI20 board (Ingenic, MIPS32) running Debian. And the Shield Pro (previously iGuardian) kickstarter project (Octeon-III, MIPS64) promises to become a playground for testing KVM hardware virtualization. Porting openSUSE to MIPS will involve setting up an OBS instance linked to Factory (update: done) and cross-compiling a set of packages for an initial bootstrap (update: in progress). Maybe this can be scripted to some degree, as there will be some overlap with the ARM ILP32 port project.

This project will focus mostly on getting to know the Clojure and ClojureScript ecosystem. As part of this project I want to see how good the integration with the respective hostplatform is and how easy it is to use libraries for e.g. JavaScript in ClojureScript.

The trend of adopting Web technology in Desktop is ubiquitous these days. Both as a learning project and a proof of concept, we'd like to

Try some things about Docker and Understanding Linux Network Internals Links:

I previously created a semi-auto test script() for MOK. The script controls the QEMU virtual machine a pre-setup image and performs two simple test cases. It's tedious to setup the images for every SLE and openSUSE. My goal is to write a script to automatically set up the virtual machines and images and do a full test. I would also like to set up a test for weekly-built OVMF. openQA might be a good reference. () https://github.com/lcp/mok-autotest

The zypprepo was written around 3 years ago, and was based on the yumrepo built-in type/provider. Nowadays zypprepo misses a lot of functionality, which will be automatically inherited if it gets rewritten to be in sync with the current code of yumrepo (as also discussed in its issues #5 and #9). If time permits, solving issue #4 would be also really useful.

A new Puppet Master will be set up for the openSUSE and public SUSE infrastructure. We will need to move the puppet code from the old server to a new Gitlab instance, deploy it to the new box with r10k, and perform syntax, validation and RSpec testing through ci.opensuse.org

A frame work for automatically analysis the result of the performance test. The tool can be used manully as well as used throught openAPI.

ARM64 is become more popular on different markets, but obviously lots of pepople didn't have the hardware platform, and fastmodel is helpful for people to play with ARM64 environment, furthermore, we can run different software platform on it, such as Cloud, HA, Virt and OpenStack.

Introduction:
We are doing virtualization related tasks, How can we still not know how

Now we are lack of using internal wiki page to solve problem. One of the reason is that we don't know if it contain the solution we need, and it's not convenient to search it manually in wiki page. It's much more slower than using google. In one group, we are most likely facing the same problem during work. So keeping the best solution, which we got from searching engine, in internal wiki is an efficiency way to collect standard workflow.

Today OpenQA mostly runs on virtual machines, but it can get really tricky to find bugs triggered by real hardware. There are only few interfaces required to interact with a machine though: 1) HDMI<br>

The disassembly in gdb is not ideal. The binding with source code lines is weird (even crash, which does use gdb beneath, does that better), I don't see the jump targets; furthermore, there's a lot more informations hidden in the DWARF2 which may be of some interest - like which code is inlined, or which register/stack address should contain some variable. My goal is to search for a way how to improve that.

VNC protocol transfers key symbols (= basically characters), not key codes (= "coordinates" on keyboard). Therefore pressing the same keys may result in sending different commands over VNC depending on the keyboard layout and state of modifiers on the client side. The server however can not directly send the key symbol to the application, it must instead find or create key code that will translate to that symbol and send that. This is hard to implement correctly and there was already several bugs about it.
