Gerrit is used for code reviews by openstack and its related projects (e.g. chef cookbooks). The web interface is too slow when you get 100 changes to review each day. It would be nice to have a faster CLI. There are already some python client libraries available. I am thinking about either doing this as a standalone application with python and something like ncurses or an emacs/lighttable plugin.

Main goal is to take a step back from work related areas and do something creative and relaxing. In my free time I occasionally do digital paintings/drawings where I usually try to use free and opensource software: Painting: Krita

Avahi Integration and Network Connection

Lay out a mock version of an existing SUSE R&D process in JIRA. The process should have a reasonable amount of complexity, like

L10N for the book entitled Designing with LibreOffice by Bruce Byfield

The primary arcade machine emulator is MAME, and it has a very specific format for romset compression. I have previously started a project call pyros that allows the creation and update of MAME romsets. The project consists of the following tools:

In SUSE Manager we want to offer support for bootstrapping systems that don't have the salt-minion installed and configured yet. This can be done using salt-ssh given just a hostname, username and password. See the docs about salt rosters for even more options. What we are missing:

Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is hardware and firmware technology for remote out-of-band management of personal computers, this hackweek I'd like to spend some time to learn how to setup Intel AMT on my workstation and X201 with VNC enabled.

During the hackweek i want also to learn more about this topic.

Uyuni is an heterogeneous and giant project (actually it is a beast) made of many pieces, many languages, many internal architecture structures, and also very old and new technologies live in it. Said that, and based on the fact Uyuni delivers tons of features/functionalities not all the end users use, it is not trivial at all to understand

The idea would be to create a qt5/kde5 based utility that can use local raw images as well as download a list of sources from a remote site. The idea is to provide a user interface that can be used by any user as well as a user interface that can be used in kiosk mode for booths so that a visitor can put a usb pendrive in any usb slot, select the image he/she wants to write to it and get it written in parallel to other usb memories.

i want to spend some day of my hackweek to improve salt-toaster https://github.com/openSUSE/salt-toaster

The idea is simple. Dice is a light weight build service for KIWI images with full control over the build power by the user.

The openstack-helm project run Openstack in a Kubernetes cluster using helm charts.

RISC-V boot deep dive (Boot FLOW from 0 to Linux Kernel)

Make RISC-V boot like rest of industry U-boot for embedded, UEFI for consumer and servers

Background

A dashboard for testing and analysis xfstests results just initial this year. It has a lot of performance issues to fix, and it also needed to add more features to get usable. Also bootstrap looks very easy to use, plan to learn some frontend knowledge for fun.

While auto-mounting a VFAT volume in a desktop environment, there is no way to select required mount options for the particular volume.

Project Description

CI/CD, which stands for continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD), creates a faster and more precise way of combining the work of different people into one cohesive product. In application development and operations (DevOps), CI/CD streamlines application coding, testing and deployment by giving teams a single repository for storing work and automation tools to consistently combine and test the code to ensure it works.

i want to make a prototype of a watch for waking up me in the night in order to take care of my daughter.

Create a console application for a crossword puzzle generator that can be fed with a custom list of word+explanation pairs. It may be used by people to quickly familiarize with a specific topic (e.g. a knowledge area, new hires to the company ...) to at least understand the terminology and the abbreviations that are used. Or to just have some distraction and fun :-)

In the past, some customers ever complained that OCFS2 file system performance went down when listing a big directory (e.g. include 400k files). According to my preliminary investigation, this performance problem is related to file system block allocation algorithm. Then, I want to look at the current mainstream file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS, etc) block allocation algorithms in this hack week, compare and analysis these algorithms advantages/disadvantages.

Testing GUIs is hard: unit tests require a tremendous amount of mocking and often don't capture the exact user input anyway, integration tests on the other hand are difficult to setup as they often require a dedicated infrastructure with virtual machines.

Upgrade OBS crash to current upstream latest release

Description

For "show and tell" situations it's helpful to have a portable (set of) images available which contains SUMA Server as well as clients. The intend is to create something that can be used on a standard laptop, setup and updated before adding it to the machine, and easily be 'reset'.

Customers may face problems with their systems we weren't aware of, if we focus on testing single components. We simply can't copy each and every customer setup, but we want to have test results that are more relevant.
