motivation

I'll continue the effort I started at last Hackweek to support Windows clients in Uyuni/SUSE Manager using Salt. When this is done, SUSE Manager would act as a WSUS server to Windows clients. https://hackweek.suse.com/20/projects/suse-manager-windows-client-support

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

Build and benchmark some smaller SES clusters (2 - 3 nodes) targetted at edge deployments. Evaluate the performance and configurations.

Live audio tools could use some work in openSUSE and are fun to play with. Finally many of these tools are making it into tumbleweed (And Leap 15.3) especially Cadence.

This project is about hacking and pushing further an engine called BPAEngine written in plymouth that enable people to develop better boot screens without much effort. Having those new boot screens in our distributions would be great. Plymouth is a "basic" scripting language for developing boot screens (See some Fedora examples running). Our openSUSE distributions have their own plymouth themes packaged on the branding-openSUSE package. And in my opinion they are very basic..., just a dot moving in 3 positions with the nice background and a logo.

For our daily work, usually we need to check running result from openQA as a good reference for the quality of a specific build. I'd like to take this chance to make openQA deployed and try to review the test scripts.

I want to study the knowledge of openQA I will read the online documents and do some experiment in virtal-machine.

Project Description

Use vosk library and Shelly cloud API to voice control smart home devices like Shelly bulbs.

reveal.js is a modern & lightweight HTML5/js-based presentation framework – much smarter than LibreOffice Impress can ever be (for a software developer). Richard Brown was so kind to create a proper LibreOffice presentation template for openSUSE and I would like to bring that design to reveal.js so next time I do a presentation I can happily use reveal.js while keeping up the openSUSE flag. :-)

GFXprim is a minimalistic widget library written in C I've been toying with for the last ten years. At this point there are several useful application written in it such as music player, pdf browser, map viewer etc.

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

This project aims for enabling FCoE over virtio-net. With that we should be able to run FCoE within a KVM guest, and finally have a 'real' FC host in a KVM guest. This should enable 'real' FC testing, like link failure, multipath operations etc.

Bisection is a well known method of localizing which commit caused a regression in a code repository. git-bisect is a particularly used tool for this problem in git repositories. However it is often the case that the failure is probabilistic in nature - either because we don't have a reliable reproducer of the failure and thus not reproducing a problem on a particular commit does not mean the problem is not still present there, or because of inherent variability of e.g. performance regressions. Bisection for such failures is problematic as it takes only one false result for the bisection to end up in an unrelated part of code history. So in these cases we usually have to heavily extend runtime of a reproducer or do multiple test runs or multiple bisection runs to minimize a chance of error. The aim of the project is to implement stochastic bisection for git. I.e., a method that will count with the fact that test results at each point of code history have some error rate and provide points in code history to test to find commit in code history that is with high probability introducing the regression in the smallest possible number of tests. Then we can use this method for bisection of performance problems in our performance testing grid Marvin.

Project Description

Due previous hackweek (https://hackweek.opensuse.org/projects/test-mainline-kernel-on-an-older-qualcomm-soc-msm89xx-explore-mainline-kernel-qualcomm-mainlining) both msm8994 angler and msm8992 bullhead are booting and due other activity (including my work) both have working SD card, but that's just start. Add support for other functionality.

Minnowboard is the platform for UEFI development and supports UEFI capsule update since 0.99, and we are supposed to be able to test the feature with fwupd. However, there is no capsule file in fwupd.org or the official firmware download site. Besides, the Minnowboard firmware source in the current edk2/edk2-platforms git couldn't build due to the recent change of directories. My goal is to rebase the Minnowboard build system to the current git master and create a working up-to-date firmware. Signing the firmware properly would be a plus so that we can apply a private repo in fwupd.org for the development or QA testing.

The aim of this project is to finish up the work already done in previous editions of Hackweek in regards to zypper-docker. That being: - Separation of the CLI part and the library.

Project Description

Base Linux is a new distribution developed from scratch. It aims to have the stricter packaging system, to be customizable and to work as a base for other Linux distributions in all kind of environments, from desktop to servers and embedded systems.

Project Description

Although opensuse already supports CM4 and Pi400, there isn't an upstream devicetree for those boards. My plan is to spend the week implementing them. Sadly it's a project where collaboration is hard. But I'll be happy to try.

Automate the process described here: - https://github.com/aspiers/git-deps/#use-case-2-splitting-a-patch-series

QA wants to set up a new QA Portal to get an new organized entry point for all Information that is QA related. The Hackweek Project is to start a discussion with the different QA groups, SLE QA, CSS QA and QAM to collect ideas and make a concrete plan.

I want to learn more about SDN and NFV, so i have started reading some book ASIN: B00WF85208 and prepared a list of things to get deeper into: - SDN

Look once again on Xperia Tablet Z and try to have there openSUSE running natively as alternative operating system. I'm able to work on that only during my vacations or hackweeks so

I intend to work on translation of KDE to Czech language. There are lot of typos and fuzzy messages accumulated in Summit project of KDE. I intend to work on them and increase KDE translation coverage.

• learn how to write Dracut modules
• investigate running Salt in Dracut initrd

SUSE is using OBS as a build system and openQA for automated testing purposes. The goal of the study is to find out the strengths and weaknesses of these systems and compare them to other open source alternatives in a structured way.

Project Description

Releasing rancher is currently a complex process and requires release captains to make alot of manual commits. Much of this work is very procedural. Our goal is to automate the more mundane tasks to make it faster and easier for new release captains to get started.
