Booting to btrfs snapshots with grub2

a project by michael-chang

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.

salien - convert deb/pkgbuild/... into .spec

an idea by bmwiedemann

There is the alien program to convert binary packages between various formats, but it would be even nicer to be able to take a debian or archlinux build spec and convert it into an rpm .spec file. Apart from the syntax conversion, this will need some mapping for package names, so that BuildRequires and Requires match the target.

Create a tool to sync GroupWise calendars with a local radicale server

a project by cbosdonnat

ALSA Pure Digital Power Amplifier

a project by duwe

Building on top of Rouslan Dimitrov's Microcontroller Class D Amplifier, I developed the idea to feed the power amplifier with PCM data directly. Rouslan does some dithering and noise shaping, but I'm convinced that proper interpolation would sound better. The ATtiny is too slow to do even cubic interpolation so I'll move that into the host.

error DB

an idea by cyberiad

Create a database of common and not so common error messages, warnings, etc. to provide references to bugzilla, TIDs, wikis, etc. When working in support you often run into issues that have unspecific or misleading error message. Google might be helpful, but especially with kernel dumps, longer traces, complex issues this doesn't help.

Create Quickstart for OpenStack on OpenStack (Triple-O)

a project by dirkmueller

Currently, opensuse-quickstart sets up a one-machine Cloud based on OpenStack, either with KVM or virtualisation. In order for bootstrapping further hosts, it would be much easier to set up only a bare-metal cloud on one machine, and PXE boot a 2nd machine via OpenStack Nova/Ironic.

openSUSE & SLE support for Puppet modules located at the Forge

a project by tampakrap

Description

One of the PuppetLabs guys is trying to enforce best practices on administering Puppet modules, by using base modules and build services and roles on top of them. That way we can re-use external / third-party modules from forge.puppetlabs.com, ideally without touching them at all. He names that "the Lego approach". Full article.

Add standardized REST interface to Hamsta

a project by pkacer

Hamsta currently lacks a standardized network interface that would allow other systems accessing its capabilities. There is a custom network interface with text-parsing based protocol that is poorly documented and needs to be implemented on the client side to be usable. This interface does not use any standardized way of communication or library. This project suggests to add a standardized web service interface (let us call it API) to Hamsta. Expected attributes are following.

Simple stretchable storage cloud

an idea by hreinecke

A project idea I've been carrying around for several years now. Based upon the 'referrals' concept from SPC-4 it should be rather easy to build up large volumes spread over several nodes. I'm thinking of an iSCSI target here, which gets updated via a corosync engine with any volume updates from the cluster.
