openSUSE Connect is almost forgotten tool used only for elections. It would be nice to update it, polish it a little bit, disable functions that nobody uses and fix those few that people would actually like to use.

Kernel dumps, provided by our customers, are uploaded by Customer Support to ziu.suse.de and shared via NFS to L3 servers at which they're analyzed. This procedure works, but likely has room for improvement.

• Setup Tensorflow on OpenSUSE 42.3
• Look for a way to package it

Build a base image and template (both kiwi and Dockerfile) for openSUSE Leap 42.3 using the native OBS container building feature.

Idea is create applet with same functionality which provided by network-manager applet . Gather more detailed requirements is part of fun :)

fq is an open source command tool used for formatting and inspecting binary data. It has a modular architecture that allows for adding support for all sorts of different binary data (e.g. MP4, BZIP2, ELF, etc.)

Project Description

I am currently using odpdown for presentations (tl;dr: it lets you write your slides in Markdown and generates Libreoffice slides from that and a Libreoffice slide master (such as a corporate identity template)). It is currently not available in OpenSUSE so it needs to be packaged and submitted to Factory.

Project Description

With all the changes in the qa_virtauto world, our local CI testing has become rather fragile. This project is all about stabilizing the CI testing and ensuring all builds are fully tested - without manual intervention. :)

Description

Once images/repo are built from IBS/OBS, there is a tool to sync the image from IBS/OBS to openqa asset directory and trigger openqa jobs accordingly.

In previous Hackweeks, we've gone to warp speed in our virtualization CI testing through:

openvswitch is used by cloud infrastructure (e.g. OpenStack) and software defined networking stacks, often in conjunction with KVM and Xen compute resources. When creating workloads on KVM compute resources, orchestration services can specify the openvswitch interfaceid and port-profile of the workload's virtual interface(s). E.g. orchestration can create workload configuration containing

Since SUSE Manager doesn't scale out and stacking it into another pyramid of susemanagers won't help here, the real architectural changes needs to be done to achieve true scale-out of this product. This hackweek project is about how to Turn SUSE Manager into a cluster.

A new web UI for saltstack, possibly the future of systems management.

Investigation of the testing framework Avocado (successor of autotest) Virtualization tests within the framework - xen, kvm, libvirt, qemu tests (we have used kvm tests done in autotest framework)

The monitoring in our internal infrastructure needs some love and attention. I want to spent some time during this hack week on the monitoring by fixing old checks, implementing new checks and making sure that those are configured and installed via configuration management.

Project Description

In this project I would like to extend the capabilities of the SLE Release Management Container. This container is used by some colleagues in the SLE Release Management team to have access to osc and other Release Management critical commands inside a container environment. This includes the beta-emails project to send our beta announcements.

Finish Qt 5 port of vym and port to as many operating systems as possible.

What is HRV ?

The state of the art of sysv/posix ipc benchmarking is a combination of ad-hoc programs scattered over the internet. While some mechanisms, such as sysv semaphores, have a lot of coverage, others really lack (message queues), and some are simply non-existent; albeit some of the legacy flavors we aren't too concerned with, other than them being functionally correct.

Let's do what we can to get https://github.com/openSUSE/fuel-ignition running as ignite.opensuse.org respectively ignite-stage.opensuse.org

Take some online classes for penetration testing tools and then practice using them. The goal is to learn enough to provide some value for pen testing of real products. Originally I was hoping to have a real cloud to pen test, but that appears unlikely so I plan to set up an Apache web server instead as the system under test. It won't matter much as the goal is to learn to use the tools.

Look at this beauty: https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar-core/blob/master/crowbarframework/app/models/serviceobject.rb#L941

The YES Certification Tool Kit has long needed Video Tutorials for clean step-by-step tool usage and configuration. These will be done with video screen scrapes and audio overlay.

For Hibernate Signature Verification - HMAC version, I need a hash algorithm in EFI stub environment before ExitBootServices() to mix / mess random seed from different sources (rdtsc, rdrand...) for generating the HMAC key to sign the hibernate image in runtime environment.

OMEMO is the next generation of end-to-end encryption method for IM applications, which supersedes OTR. Compare to OTR, OMEMO provides many useful new features.

The DriConf-Project inside of MESA has seen its latest update in 2006 and is implemented with GTK+ 2. https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriConf/

There are some interesting and promising new tools for kabi checking that have been developed in the past 2-3 years (e.g. abidiff/libabigail, kabi-dw) . See if any of them prove to be viable alternatives to our current dependence on the brittle genksyms/modversions infrastructure in the kernel.

Project Description

Before Cavium switched to ARM64 CPUs they developed quite powerful MIPS based SOCs. The current upstream Linux kernel already supports some Octeon SOCs, but not the latest versions. Goal of this Hack Week project is to use the latest Cavium SDK to update the Linux kernel code to let it running on CN23XX network cards.

Description

A pocket operating system,can be burned in a usb stick. Not the live usb,you can save all your changes in this.

It's not always straightforward to open a core dump originating from customer's environment, since there's a wide variety of versions of all the binaries involved - usual workflow is to install a VM with the SP that the customer is using, enable debuginfo repositories and then follow the buildid hints that gdb is providing.

I want to start working on translations which might be useful in our work (to focus on apps used by us during our work) and to push the rate of translation a bit further.

strace can parse syscall arg structures and print them in user-friendly way. For ioctl syscalls there is greater variety of the structures and not all are supported. Let's start with covering autofs data.

The aim is to replace dump file read routines in makedumpfile with library functions from libkdumpfile. This should enable (among other things) filtering Xen DomU dump files.

As in near future, there will be python2python3 in Factory but no /usr/bin/python and in SLE-15 base no python2 it is necessary to start checking/switching dependencies.

I have been known to talk anybody I held presentations with into using odpdown.

Hackweek 21?

Project Description

Experimenting with ALP

Abstract:

• Cloud hosted applications are now composed of many microservices often deployed in containers. When things go wrong, are slow, or just not understood, where can we turn?

Goal for this Hackweek

revisit the workflow and propose changes which will

Description

There is a character limit of <=80 characters in s390x, for OSD we workaround this problem using a url shortener, like http://s.qa.suse.de/ but we don't have anything equivalent for O3. Some colleagues recommended https://v.gd/ but some initial test showed that cannot shorten ftp urls.

Micro-service for - making a report

It's a tool or website for Bej employee to manage his(her) leave days, then they don't need ask HR for each time.

Idea is to write FF plugin which would process raw autoinst log and display it in more readable form .
