Description:

This issue has been blocked for a while due to time constraints so I want to take Hackweek 19 to work on it.

Project Description & Goal

The quality of supplier deliveries varies. And one shall monitor its suppliers.

The GPD Win is a Nintendo 3DS XL sized PC featuring a keyboard and gaming controls. Having openSUSE working on it would be great, unfortunately Tumbleweed doesn't work at all on it and Leap 42.2 is lacking many important features.

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.

Project Description

Let's write some friendly API that will allow WS2812-controlled LEDs to be addressed via RPC.

Salt – The most intelligent, powerful and flexible open source software for remote execution, configuration automation, cloud control and event-driven orchestration The goal of the project is to bring its power into QAM, improving efficacy of work and possibly replacing other tools, where Salt could perform the task more naturally.

While programming is occasionally a very rewarding activity, it's mostly a chore and the rest is filled with frustration. Let's teach an unsuspecting youngster program! To fulfill this nefarious goal I've set out to help my colleague without prior programming experience get hooked on programming, starting with python. The student finished an online tutorial and we pair programmed a tiny-fix-turned-massive-change in a tool used by our team.

Give a more complete overview of the infrastructure and the processes the documentation team uses to write, maintain, and publish the documentation for the SUSE products. Add missing information/chapters to the guide.

Find where an openQA module is running

• OMM is an open source tool written in go

The idea is to produce a standalone, independent tool to save and restore windows positions and sizes, analogous to a similar feature in KDE desktop. This would be handy in various lightweight desktop enviroments.

Quite a big part of openQA is testing the installation of SUSE products. All of them are installed by YaST. So a big quantity of problems found during openQA testruns are YaST problems. To find out what has gone wrong during installation YaST developers need to download the tarball containing the logs, unpack it and find the y2log among many other log files. That makes it quite complicated to just have a quick view on a problem.

Project Description

Chimera is a Kubernetes policy engine. Its policies are WebAssembly modules, that can be published on regular OCI registries (same place where container images are pushed).

The next release of Ceph (Octopus) will be delivered via containers.
A new tool named cephadm is being developed to bootstrap and manage Ceph containers.

Project Description

yamltidy is a tidier/linter for YAML files. It's pretty new.

The kdump package can now use SMP and multiple targets with constant memory requirements. The goal of this project is to find the optimum parameters for dumping a very large machine (SAP can give me access to 6TB, SGI is able to test with 64 TB).

Apple has published the source code for their language swift. They also made the swift compiler available for Ubuntu users. Now it's time to port it to openSUSE! swift GitHub project: https://github.com/apple/swift

It seems that systemd-nspawn, together with machinectl can use qcow2 images directly. This means I could use the images genereted by kiwi to start containers (for development and for running the tests).

Volumio is a great, Linux based, open source music player for Raspberry PI and x86. archive.org is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.

Project Description

Dictu is a new scripting language with features and capabilities of other major languages without giving up speed but also providing a familiar syntax and user experience. The hackweek effort would be a hard push towards features pushing Dictu closer to mainstream adoption.

Project Description

Currently a key rotation via fdectl regenerate-key is used to revoke all released tpm2 sealed keys. However the procedure can be a bit risky as the result to change key slots. Using tpm2 policynv may provide better approach in this regard given a counter or timestamp can be matched to validate tpm keys before using it.

I'd like to write a webservice comparable e.g. to Evernote or NextCloud. Emphasis of the project is that the server only provides storage for the actual data and keys; en- and decryption is to be performed by the client. Optionally capabilities for sharing data with other users should be included.

"salt-toaster" allows you to test multiple Salt package flavors across different operating systems via Docker containers. This project is heavily used on the SUSE Manager team to hardening the Salt package that is shipped on the openSUSE/SLE distributions. Link to GitHub repository The "salt-toaster" execution is divided on different steps (image building, container spinning, salt key acceptance, tests execution, etc) but currently we only get the global results for the entire testsuite execution.

Problem

You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.

We have an ongoing project where we want to build openSUSE Factory with PIE support for all packages. This is done using a "gcc-PIE" preinstalled package, which changes the compiler default to PIE on.

zypp-closure is a small helper tool making use of libzypp and the metadata of product repositories. The idea is to generate a dependency closure for a package or list of packages based on repositories metadata.

Project Description

I have a Xiaomi Scooter Pro 1 which I bought two years ago, it has 25 - 27 km/h of max speed by factory setting, but it's more or less slow to me since I'm a speed lover :smiley: So I decide to unlock the speed limit (maximum with safety might be 40 km/h) during this hackweek.

What is linuxboot?

LinuxBoot is a firmware for modern servers that replaces specific firmware functionality like the UEFI DXE phase with a Linux kernel and runtime.

https://mycroft.ai/ Mycroft is the name of a suite of software and hardware tools that use natural language processing and machine learning to provide an open source voice assistant.

It's just my learning project about Docker, I will research and learn how to deploy and configure Docker and Docker cluster, and also I will try to learn everything related about Docker.

So I have 469.icu :), it's currently doing nothing... (and for sale) but in the meantime, I'd like to write an url shortener from scratch and deploy it on my own server

Project Description

Edge environments need highly available infrastructure but due to scale, they also need to reduce costs wherever possible. Lowering compute hardware costs by 1/3 can be the difference between success and failure in launching an edge Kubernetes offering.

COLO or Coarse Grain Lock Stepping is an High Availability solution that builds on top of Remus, 1. investigate Xen COLO implemention and try to play with it.

There is plenty of documentation wiki articles, forum posts, etc., but even with Google or local search engines the answer may be hard to find. Sometimes categorisation is missing or just basic information. 1. Look at existing openSUSE options and their usability.

Summary

knots aims to be a multi-node S3 benchmark and load generator written in Rust and on top of WebAssembly, waPC, and waSCC.

There is a long-standing problem that mirrorbrain on download.opensuse.org does not do reasonable redirection when a user comes by with an ipv6 address... In my case for example, mirrorbrain claim I'm coming from an unknown country. It's a small country, ok, but by far not unknown (Switzerland)

git-sort is a a tool that reads a list of git commits and sorts them so that the partial ordering of parent-child relationships is respected. It performs this as a stable sort; it preserves the input order of commits that are on parallel development branches. This tool is useful when backporting a large number of commits so that the commits may be cherry-picked in an order such that no child commit appears before any of its ancestors. The current implementation of git-sort is a proof of concept that uses git merge-base --is-ancestor. Having a more efficient version would ease the handling of large input lists.

Microsoft released Windows Server 2016 at October, 2016. In the data center edition, it released Storage Spaces Direct features for SDS/HCI market. What are those new features looks like? Proxmox a open-source company based in Vienna, which provides a linux cluster stack for kvm/lxc environment. What HA Storage related new ideas inside?

The Gameshell is a small game console based on AllWinner R16 (Cortex-A7, IIRC the same CPU that the RPi2). Currently is supporting Debian, and some community member ported ArchLinux on it. The goal of the project is to port the openSUSE MicroOS distribution into the device, providing a transactional upgrade process for a canonical IoT architecture. In the process I expect to learn about ARM7, uBoot and some kernel hacking.

Ever left a restaurant wanting to write a review, but thinking it wasn't worth the trouble to tap out all those words on your phone -- you just want to give the place your n stars and provide a few words of praise or condemnation? If only you could press a button to generate a plausible review. If this project happens, you will. We'll use the Yelp API to grab as many reviews of certain types of restaurants as the terms of service allow (I assume "Use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other automated device, process or means to access, retrieve, scrape, or index any portion of the Site or any Site Content;" doesn't apply to API users -- otherwise it wouldn't be much of an API).

Project Description

SUSE and Rancher joined a while ago, but other than k3s, I have no good understanding about Rancher products and I feel I should get a better idea on what are their purpose and strengths.

Create a system to allow a community to add contextual information to "open books". Think wikipedia for books

Project Description

Using HQ cameras from Waveshare and RPi hardware, write configurable scripts to create different timelapse scenes (clouds, traffic, ...). The software should capture a frame every X seconds for the desired period of time and build a video out of all the images.

Project Description

This year was declared to be a "Year of the Voice" in the HomeAssistant world. And indeed upstream community added a ton of functionality and integrations to make voice operations possible.

Perl-apparmor is obsolete in the apparmor community. No one is maintaining it. However, opensuse has to keep it to interact with yast, which is the main consumer of perl-apparmor. Getting rid of perl-apparmor would mean: + Creating a new interface (JSON) to interact with outside world (IOW, yast)

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.

Using traditional hardware development tools, apply a Non-uniform Choppy Transformation to a block of ligneous substance. The end result should be a 3D rendering of the Geeko glyph.

Since eBPF was introduced into linux kernel, the eBPF verifier keeps the eBPF programs from any wrong-doing. I would like to look into the verifier and see if it's possible to extend the check to avoid reading any sensitive data in the memory.

I got a Raspberry pi 4 not long ago, I'd like to install openSUSE Leap 15.2(Alpha) on it, and set up hass - Home Assistant, a open source home automation assistant on rpi4, then have some fun with it! Update: hassio dropped py3.6 support in Dec 2019, since Leap 15.2 stays with python 3.6 rather that python 3.7, I've to use Tumbleweed instead.

Summary

Project Description

When you have solar panels and your home energy consumption is below solar production, you might want to store the energy (or resell it to your energy company).

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)

While DDR4 memory has become quite popular, decode-dimms doesn't know about it and is not able to display any useful information for DDR4 memory modules. I would like decode-dimms to provide the same detailed information about DDR4 memory modules as it does for all older memory types.

The Bard music manager is a command line tool to organize local music I've been developing over the last years (in Hackweek 15 it was called finddupmusic). It parses your local music collection and stores the metadata in a sqlite database, then it can generate audio fingerprints and recognize similar/duplicated songs. It can also be used to play music (using internally mpv), set ratings, fix metadata, etc. The purpose of this project would be to create a web interface for Bard, so users can use their browsers to get music streamed to their computers/phones (with format conversions on-the-fly). Probably it should implement the AURA protocol for this.

Since I'm already working on a work-related project (https://hackweek.suse.com/14/projects/1388), I decided to also spend some time improving some of my toolbox. This includes configurations, scripts, pet projects and so on. I don't expect anyone to collaborate on this, but if someone is interested to know which scripts, programs and such I'm going to touch, feel free to ping me.

Take the oportunity to learn Kubernetes, to play with AWS and compare performance and availability of openQA and OBS instances and openSUSE Mirrors running on AWS. - https://aws.amazon.com/

Python offers some useful libraries for this topic, I already know numpy and openCV, I want to try for example scikit-image. As a concrete goal, I want to try deconvolution with variable PSF - create lens profile and use this profile to improve sharpness and chromatic aberration.

ABF is a buildsystem developed by ROSA (rosalab.com) and OpenMandriva (https://www.openmandriva.org/) currently being used for their distribution. The build system is FOSS and is available to be deployed anywhere. (https://github.com/rosa-abf) (https://github.com/OpenMandrivaSoftware/docker-builder)

openSUSE now has a lot of black magic around building distributions for :Factory and :Leap This includes all of the 000* packages and opensuse-release-tools doing very useful stuff like pkglistgen automatically managing the package lists for .kiwi files so release managers don't need to manually update which packages are going on which media

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.

Project Description

inspired by the GME craze, and countless similar implementations I would like to pull data (keyword driven) from reddit/twitter and run sentiment analysis on it, perhaps with some deduplication / bot detection

Ai and Machine learning play important role in our life, I'd like to learn it. research to see is there any way of using DEEP learning on open source stuff.

Goals * get used to some of this ugly buzzword tools as they are used in a broad audience

Create a single node installation of OpenStack with the OpenSUSE OpenStack Quickstart scripts for 64 bit ARM (aarch64).
