Investigate possibilities for the distributed builds for Ceph to speed up builds.

Working on a way to add exceptions using javascript (jquery), php, json, and mysql to modify the generated calendar used to manage who is on after hours.

Although I've been maintaining CRIU package, I had little time to play with it recently. It's still interesting especially in combination with various containers. So let's spend (or waste) some time.

Since I'm a maintainer of Gnome-Logs, I'd like to hack on Gnome-Logs. During the hack week I'll focus on the bug 753471 of Logs.

As title says, I want to finish the Windows Subsystem for Linux images of SLES and Leap 15, which Fabian Vogt provided, so they can be shipped to the Windows Store.

People are interested in Linux on Windows via WSL, especially given the new fully virtualized Linux kernel in WSL 2. It's interesting to know whether registered SUSE installations might be running in WSL as opposed to other Microsoft virtualization platforms, but the current approach taken by SUSEConnect (the client for SUSE Customer Center) does not permit this.

The SPDK is used for Longhorn v2 volumes. This project aims to explore the SPDK codebase to understand its functionality and architecture.

Sonnenhut is a simple Pythong web app that provides basic info useful for planning photographic activities. The current iteration does the job, but it can be improved and extended in a number of ways.

In a quite natural and steady way, all my relatives (wife, kids, mother, aunt...) have adopted openSUSE in their computers. There is only one resistance spot. My father's computer (HP+Windows8) implements all kind of mechanisms to avoid dual boot.

Compared with traditional file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS), log-structured file systems treat its storage as a circular log and write sequentially to the head of the log. I want to learn about this kind of file system via this hack week, to understand how it manages its data and metadata, to understand how it recover back from crash, to understand its advantages and disadvantages.

What if Salt Minions no longer need to specify the IP or DNS address for the Master? Or even better: Master(s) can call minions. Of course, for the beginning, we would assume the network is trusted. But we should be able to add further security checks (keypairs etc).

provide a summary report of data from a sar data file.

The incredible Neal Gompa has packaged Open Shift Origin (RH's core Docker + Kubernetes stack) for openSUSE

The plan is to implement a safe path resolution library for Linux to avoid the plentiful numbers of security vulnerabilities that have been seen in the wild related to path resolution race conditions and various other attacks. I've been working on kernel-space solutions but even if they were merged, it is difficult to use them safely directly. So this library intends to provide simple wrappers that everyone can use.

Project Description

As a daily user of the Plasma desktop this Hackweek is a perfect opportunity to make my first contribution(s) to it! Feel free to join me as a fellow beginner or mentor!

Many cases are Client-Server testing or Multi-Machine testing in FIPS area, I plan to hack and learn more deeply about Multi-Machine test automation in openQA.

Description

Create a tool to handle backlight and external monitors on Linux.

OPI is a cli tool that combines the features of software.opensuse.org with similar functionality for the Packman repo (eg. installing video codecs) and also allows installing proprietary packages from various vendors.

Create a course in moodle.opensuse.org

Trimatik MC is an older heating control from Viessmann. It has no supported digital interface for remote access, but I found at least two ways to get access to sensor data like various temperatures and state of relay contacts. One way is to use the so called remote control the other use the clock timer. This project will use the latter way, because the hardware adaption is much easier and and all four timer channels could be controlled as well. Remote access will be done via an ESP32, which emulates the clock timer and gets/pushes data via WIFI.

There are a number of items related to doing Virtualization CI and testing which I have a hard time getting to during my day job. I'll take Hackweek as an opportunity to get at least a little out of my normal space and improve our methods. This mainly focuses on QEMU/KVM and some of the efforts and infrastructure I've already got in various states of development, or at least investigation.

DRBD refers to block devices designed as a building block to form high availability (HA) clusters.Also possible to combine multiple devices driver for Linux(MD) and the network block device(NBD) to achieve similar functionality.

android virtualization on top of linux

I would like to take part in the course that is offered at https://suse-academy.hastexo.com/

Having done only very little with openQA in the past I would like to learn more about it. I would like to start writing a test suite for profanity.

Collecting problems and writing tools or methods for kernel debugging.

The basic idea behind learning language is to ensure three parts:

Play with Docker orchestration tools like the ones provided by CoreOS, OpenShift and kubernetes. Provide packages for openSUSE and SLE.

We currently work on a consistency model for upstream livepatching infrastructure. We use something called a fake signal to speed up a finalization of the patching process. I'll port the implementation to kGraft in SLES which should allow to remove immediate patching since it has recently proved to be problematic...

Project Description

I have an IRC tab open in pidgin and an adjacent XMPP tab; the latter one displayed with focus. When a new XMPP tab opens in background (with a message incoming), the IRC tab steals the focus but not the display. It brings annoying situations when I sometimes send something accidentally to the IRC instead of XMPP, not noticing that I don't have focus.

Ceph is very robust for keeping data, beside using cephfs or exporting rbd. It is not too easy to access object directly with a client, let alone mobile. By using Rados gateway, android client can easily using S3/Swift http/s request to read object data from the internet.

Retty is a tool for changing stdin,stdout,stderr of a running process (http://pasky.or.cz/dev/retty/) which may be handy if you want to attach to a process running e.g. from a died ssh session, changing running process to run from under screen(1) etc.. Currently it doesn't work for 64-bit systems and it doesn't handle changing of a controlling tty of a process (which may be possible using setsid() and opening a new tty). The aim of this project it to fix the above deficiencies and package the tool in OBS.

Description

Mini project to replace the homelab dns with a 'hands off' / self updating CoreDNS DNS server with openSUSE MicroOS

We from the public cloud dev team regularly upload generic and product images to be available in public cloud systems like Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine or Microsoft Azure. The task of uploading stuff there is not only about having the tools it's also about having the right environment which provides account credentials as well as access to the image when they are built in the buildservice. Also the location from where the upload happens can make a difference in performance.

I'd like to see a web-based desktop RSS reader with a simple 3-pane interface like SharpReader's but it runs in Firefox and uses Firefox shared storage to store the user's usage data on their local machines, not on a server.

learn both and be awesome

I plan to implement XEP-0308 for Profanity. Something that is asked for since 2016.

State: vm snapshoting and resume are working, but everything is still in a very hacky state.

Project Description

RabbitMQ is, in this hacker's opinion, hard to run, hard to scale, hard to debug, and difficult to run in a HA situation. ZeroMQ takes a different approach from the centralized broker model, and instead runs a daemon on every machine that needs to send or receive message over the bus, and communicates directly between machines.

This is somehow related with our team's work(https://fate.suse.com/323437), We want to write a set of restful API for any components in HA product stack use to control the cluster.

My first hands-on machine learning using scikit-learn and tensorflow. If there is time in the end i would like to implement it into one of my existing projects by maybe processing some sensor data.
