A naive idea to compromise confidential level of embargoed vulnerabilitiesan idea by zhangxiaofei Disclaimer: I have zero knowledge on security studies and very little knowledge on our internal security workflow. The idea popped out from the observation on my daily work which includes backporting security fixes, occasionally a couple of which are embargoed. Lashes are welcome if you find the idea stupid. When an embargoed vulnerability reaches SUSE, the related bugs / fixes are usually only exposed to a small group of people including maintainers of the affected package. While bugzilla can made an issue private for that purpose, For OBS I'm unaware of an option like "private project / package" that blocks unwanted access (please correct me if it does exist). |
OmegaT automatic glossary insertiona project by vdziewiecki I want to continue my work on this feature for a CAT (Computer Aided Translation) program, OmegaT.

Add zypper markauto/unmarkauto commands to allow tuning automated cleanupa project by mlandres Packages added by the dependency solver in order to resolve a user's request, are marked as having been automatically installed. They may later be removed, if no more manually installed packages depend on them (e.g. by zypper remove --clean-deps). However things may go haywire. Automatically installed packages may turn out to be useful, and you may want to exclude them from any automatic cleanup. And vice versa. |

git snitcha project by zhangxiaofei While it is important for package maintainers to track the upstream code base activities and backport significant patches in a timely manner, it could be a tedious work when there's hundreds of packages in a project (ahem, GNOME) to follow manually. So I wish to get mail notifications when new commits with certain keywords (e.g. SIG, {crash, hang}{s, ing, ed}, leak(age), CVE-, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=*, etc, etc) come in. |
Reproducible Source/Build Transparency Watchera project by jzerebecki https://gitlab.com/JanZerebecki/transparency-log-watcher Trillian is used for Reproducible Source, Build and Certificate Transparency.

Add information about listeners to Jangouts UIa project by ancorgs This project is about fixing this known Jangouts issue that is reported over and over, since many user experiencing problem with the outgoing WebRTC traffic or with camera authorization can "lurk" what happens in the room without being noticed. Copy&Paste from the last comment there: It's true there is a lot of room for improvements to raise the awareness about "lurkers". For example, we could compare the number of people subscribed to your stream and the number of publishers. If numbers do not match, there is somebody listening but not being displayed. That's something we could show in the UI. |

kGraft: allow to handle more patches in parallela project by pmladek Current kGraft implementation allows to apply new patch only when the previous one is applied to the whole system. Every task is handled separately and it needs to wait for a safe place to switch. It might take a while, especially when the task is sleeping. Therefore it would be great to allow to apply more patches in parallel. It is not trivial because different tasks might be in different world, so the slow stub has to be clever and choose the right one without taking any lock... |

Rewrite maintenance's dependency checkers in Pythonan invention by leonardocf We currently have a set of shell scripts that verify if patches can be properly installed on multiple combinations of base products, extensions and modules. These scripts are all written in shell and are annoying to maintain, as configuration and code is all mixed up. My objectives are: (a) to rewrite all the scripts in a single tool, in Python; (b) separate code and configuration, so that adding a new product/SP requires only editing a configuration file; and (c) make the checkers more flexible, allowing execution from the command line against specific repositories (use case: checking one single maintenance incident before submitting it to QAM). |
Compare & implement a simple way to startup an open SISan idea by bear454 Washington state is a leader in Alternative Learning Experiences, public schools that teach in unique ways.

Tensorflow on opensusean idea by huizhizhao BackgroundTensorFlow makes it easy for beginners and experts to create machine learning models for desktop, mobile, web, and cloud. But from installation guide to best practice there're rarely cases mentioned tensorflow on OpenSUSE. So OpenSUSE needs to be introduced to tensorflow community. |
Near-zero downtime upgrades for stateful services with Rancheran idea by mlnoga Project DescriptionContainers are great for scaling stateless services and making them robust. However, stateful services like databases continue to pose challenges. In particular, upgrading a running database service to a new version with near zero downtime is not trivial. Wouldn't it be great if a helm chart or K8S operator could automatically take care of this for you? This would allow you to fire up a database in your K8S cluster and consume it as-a-service. And put us one step closer to building a private cloud that runs anywhere, powered by pure open source. |

configurable handling of kernel thermal shutdownan idea by pcerny Currently when the kernel notices critical temperature, it unconditionally shuts down. This can lead to a loss of work (applications are terminated and many just don't save any work in progress). From a technical point of view it is not always the optimal solution either - proper shutdown takes time and it may well happen that some sort of physical damage may happen due to prolonged high temperature. Thus the option to allow some tweaking of the critical temperature action is desirable. |
Migration of Pology to Python3an idea by vpelcak Pology is a Python library and collection of command-line tools for in-depth processing of PO files, the translation file format of the GNU Gettext software translation system.

Create internal Web UI for OSC to make searching for package maintainers, bug owners etc. easiera project by pvlasin Project DescriptionThe idea is to create and internally host a simple webpage with proper backend code allowing quicker and easier lookup for package maintainers and bug owners from OSC. Nothing fancy, just a page with search box and few radio button parameters to execute the lookup and display the results. Obviously it needs to fulfill security measures when it comes to the access to OSC on the service level and also user access rights to the search page itself (e.g. Okta). Currently the lookup can be done via terminal (which is OK), but there are security measures in place which makes the lookup difficult for some and granting an engineering VPN access just for the sake of this OSC lookup is a bit an overkill for people that do not need it for any other purpose. |
guest migration on KVM or XENa project by Julie_CAO What I do: learn the virtualization knowledge, get familiar with various ways to migrate guest, know the user's normal scenarios and requirement.

Scalability improvement for running tiedot database on SMP systemsan invention by guohouzuo tiedot is a general purpose, document database engine designed for both embeddable usage and running stand-alone DB server, implemented in Go. Despite the effort of partitioning collection data and indexes, a single tiedot process still cannot scale beyond 4 CPU cores due to limitations of both data structure and Go runtime. Last year, an attempt began to partition data across multiple tiedot processes, and use IPC for communication and database logics. Initial benchmarks show promising scalability improvement using the new implementation. So let us complete the new implementation together, to bring the most scalable & embeddable DB engine for Go programs! |

SSH Tunnel YaST Plugina project by gary_smith Learn about developing a YaST plugin by creating a plugin to manage SSH Tunnels. Creating SSH port tunnels along with corresponding iptables rules is a useful technique for being able to access virtual machines on a remote host that only visible on a private network. Managing and maintaining these connections via scripts and tmux sesssions is less desirable than doing it through a nice UI like YaST. Note that the CLI tool https://www.npmjs.com/package/ssh-tunnel-manager has some nice ideas for managing groups and profiles that may be useful. |

Try to model check gfp_flags with cbmca project by vbabka Paul McKenney's blog article inspired me to try apply his approach to kernel's memory allocation flags (gfp_flags) and how their combinations affect the decisions and actions taken during page allocation. Recent upstream development around these flags leads me to believe that the complexity is too high for me to reason about them and change the code without unintended changes in semantics. So it might be worth to let the computer do the hard work. If it works out, the approach should allow to verify that changing the code doesn't result in corner cases where some flag combinations don't work as intended. Then we can attempt to e.g. reduce the number of flags and perform other cleanups without fear of breaking everything. |
Add support for the new lockless printk ringbuffer into crash-pythonan idea by pmladek printk() is function that is used to print messages in the kernel code. The messages are stored into an internal buffer and show on the registered consoles. They could be read and stored by userspace when the system is running. The messages might not reach the console or userpace when the system crashes. One way to see them is reading them from a kernel crashump. crash-python is a semantic debugger for the Linux kernel. It is a very powerful tool for analyzing kernel crashdumps. |
Package workflow experimentsa project by jfehlig Project DescriptionMost developers are comfortable with the workflows of git hosting services like gitlab and github, including their CI/CD capabilities.
