The current kplex_monitor repo needs to be reorganized so that it can be installed from scratch on another PI using ansible

Plan:

The zypprepo was written around 3 years ago, and was based on the yumrepo built-in type/provider. Nowadays zypprepo misses a lot of functionality, which will be automatically inherited if it gets rewritten to be in sync with the current code of yumrepo (as also discussed in its issues #5 and #9). If time permits, solving issue #4 would be also really useful.

I want to use this week to familiar with the SUSE products that i don't have time/chance to participate. For instance, SUSE Cloud, SUSE storage, Docker etc... Just like the presentations in SUSEcon 2015 closing keynote.

A nice project for enhancing the winter time: Download Model

As live migration is widely used in many scenarios nowadays, spend one week time to study it and try to improve its efficiency, e.g. seamlessly migrate with less downgrading the guest. Another challenging part is memory migration, as it involves the dirty memory's detection, record and copy.

Rationale:

There is around in the clojure community (https://clojure.org/) a GitHub opensource organization which aims to maintain in a centralized manner some useful community libraries.

bundler-audit is an open source that scans you Gemfile.lock (if you program with ruby) for known vulnerabilities. Let's take the list of issues and enhancements and fix as much as possible

Metadata project provides testsuites as a service. Slenkins test wants to use metadata but requires two new fields. I will add nodes and incompatible two new fields.

During testing virtualization , I usually met some issue and can not position the issue location (host or guest), so I would like to deeply learn QEMU code, card the work flow, understand communication mechanism between host and guest. Targets:

Project Description

With this project I would like to refresh/update the confluence documentation describing how SUSE Manager maintenance works and how to process a SUSE Manager update round.

Project Description

Learn about formulars with forms and write a formula which setup a container registry.

There are several game launchers for Linux already (like Lutris or GR-lida), but none of them is focused on compatibility with old Linux games or other ancient native applications. At the same time it is getting more and more difficult to get those old applications to run on modern Linux distributions. This is a learning project for me, so the goal is not to extend any existing GUI frontend, but get familiar with various techniques and see how far I can get without any previous knowledge.

Project Description

There are a bunch of K8s distros out there, why dont trying deploying RKE on a Libvirt host using Ansible?

Have a play with SUSE CAP on AWS during this hackweek.

Project Description

Automation of Rancher, K3s, RKE, RKE2 through Salt and SUSE Manager

Planning to do some deep learning course sessions e.g. fastai , google ML crash course etc. Also try to understand common tools (tensorflow, jupyter notebook, numpy, pandas, pytorch) and practices e.g. Convoluation neutral nets, SGD used to solve learning problems. Aim is to get ready for kaggle competition (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions) eventually to test out learning and develop intuition around categories of learning problems.

The current GUI of FriCAS is ancient and difficult to use. I plan to improve that by using modern GUI frameworks, at least to make a working proof-of-concept demo to show this idea works.

Purpose: Use the container image to test Multi-Machine testsuite could be a nice way to reduce the network setup problem(i.g. NAT) between guest while Multi-Machine testing in openQA

Learn QT and make something to try it.

Learning design model can help to produce high quality codes, which will benefit our products. I'll do it mainly by reading "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software".

The goal is to jump forward with this fate: https://fate.suse.com/319319

Read RoR docs and continue the TODO list from https://events.opensuse.org/conference/oSC16/program/proposal/894 + issues from https://github.com/ChrisBr/rails101/issues as a practice.

Currently, each filesystem developer does his fstests runs (a testsuite for regression-testing of filesystems) on his dedicated test machine, on Orthos machine, ... This not only means duplication of efforts to automate this testing but also leads to inefficient use of resources (sometimes the test machine is just idle, sometimes you would need more tests to run in parallel to speed up development). The goal of this effort is to use SUSE Engineering Cloud to implement fire-and-forget fstests runs where you specify kernel to test (fetched from git tree or so), fstests configs to run, and then just pick up test results later on...

I had an application can't run on recent openSUSE for some time but it can run on openSUSE13.1 before. So I'd like to have a docker container (image) to run the application and learn some about docker container

Right now, during the (open)SUSE installation process, the changes to be performed on the storage devices are presented as a list of actions such as: * Resize ntfs partition /dev/sda1 by 100 GiB

Project Description

This is an effort to produce working aarch64 WSL images in https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Virtualization:WSL.

The public cloud is generally not a high availability-friendly environment, with unpredictable I/O latencies and machine stalls, custom tools needed for handling IP assignment etc. The idea with this project is to see if there is any way to leverage the Raft algorithm and booth together with pacemaker_remote for resource management to manage cloud instances and services running in the cloud.

Learn Vim by reading book of Practical Vim

Currently, the Xen-Project supports automated build-testing/CI via GitLab pipelines, within containers based on: * Debian

and find out how it compares to salt

Project Description

The regression tests in Libgcrypt could benefit from having memory leak detection checks. These checks could be run optionally during build time. One well suited tool for this purpose is Valgrind.

The Fuji X series cameras are not well supported in libgphoto2 yet. I want to borrow some for the Hackweek and fix the bugs in libgphoto2.

The plan is to start working towards a rewrite of xdg-utils in python, focusing on the really bad bits such as dealing with desktop files and mime handling. In this hackweek, I want to split python-xdg into multiple libraries such as python-mime and python-desktop file and prepare them to be used in helper binaries to handle some of the more complex tasks currently done in shell.

Project Description

Creating an alarm system in case of a rogue app filling up disk space with logs, system error or break-in attempt.

Project Description

I have a small recording studio at home that I use for acoustic recordings using a 2i2 Focusite and Ableton Lite, but no streaming server for my output files. I want to be able to process/mix and share multiple rough drafts of .mp3 or .wav files with my musician friends without sharing them to a public platform yet. I've also been learning golang and seeing how it's a popular choice for audio processing, can use this to dive deeper into it.

From time to time we face collisions when two teams would like to play at the same time. As our kicker table moved back to our building, it should be possible to reach the space with WiFi. There is also power plug available so installing IP web camera should be easy enough.

I would like to learn more about something outside of engineering. I have selected to learn more about marketing; something our overall team is doing more of...

Goal for this Hackweek

mrouted is the de facto standard for DVMRP multicast routing on Linux and other Unices.

My proposal for hack week is to dive into diagramming for the doc(s) team(s) as I've struggled to give it the decent block of time it needs. There are a few iterative parts:

This project is about using Salt SSH for managing systems without the need of an additional agent to be installed (besides sshd). With the SSH protocol the connection is initiated by the management server, thus Salt SSH can be used to even manage systems that are located outside of company firewalls, i.e. machines that cannot access a salt-master due to firewall restrictions. In order to still be able to access resources inside a company network though it would be very helpful if the salt-ssh command supported remote port forwarding (as with the -R parameter of the ssh command) for tunneling other traffic through the existing ssh connection, for instance a package manager might want to install packages from a company internal RPM repository. A patch was therefore contributed to Salt SSH in order to enable this feature (merged into develop):

Continue development of generic job server in haskell with primary focus on continuous integration and later possibly as support tool for data analysis in semantic file storage server, software configuration engine, etc Project hosted at https://github.com/yaccz/yac-build-server

Project Description

I have this private project I've been working on during my spare time. During this hackweek I want to spend some extra time to boost its progress.

gettext tools are used by many other projects to process translation files. The support for plurals is relatively new, and works only in basic cases.

I'm planning to do some research about RV32E which has only 16 GPRs, but riscv-pk doesn't have RV32E support so that the RV32E aware GCC (https://github.com/kito-cheng/riscv-gcc/tree/riscv-next) cannot build riscv-pk. I'm going to study how the proxy kernel works so that I can do some modification to let it support RV32E.

cosmic-river aims distributed Event-Driven workflows as generic, composable tool

DevOps teams face double sided challenges: development tasks should be planable and maintenance tasks should maintain their flow to provide maximum value through the queue. Build a prototype JIRA project to help them organize their workload with a Scrum board for their development tasks and a Kanban board for their maintenance work, all fed from a common backlog.

Project Description

regview is a heavily modified fork of the (no longer maintained) reg tool by Jess Frazelle for listing images in a Docker registry. Some features of reg were removed (like the webserver, to make it only cli) and others added. Some bugs were fixed (and PR's submitted) and others added as well.

Project Description

There are lots of interesting presentations happening all throughout SUSE on all manner of subjects. Presenters have found all kinds of creative ways to showcase their content using different shapes, templates, and other tools to convey important information. If you're looking to start a new presentation, the current slide templates are great to get started with but often time presenters have to look elsewhere for design inspiration. The goal of this project is to create a centralized "extended catalog" of Powerpoint and Impress templates, as a compliment to the existing templates, and make them available to SUSE employees through ImageRelay, that can serve as inspiration and templates for those looking to create rich and complex presentations based on examples built by fellow SUSE employees.

Project Description

This project will create a simple chat-bot for tutoring children for school. Lessons will be pre-configured by feeding in a document and requesting the material be taught to a child in consideration of the child's age, etc.
