git-sort is a a tool that reads a list of git commits and sorts them so that the partial ordering of parent-child relationships is respected. It performs this as a stable sort; it preserves the input order of commits that are on parallel development branches. This tool is useful when backporting a large number of commits so that the commits may be cherry-picked in an order such that no child commit appears before any of its ancestors.

«Sophia, a backend developer, submitted a pull request with optimizations for a critical database query. Once she pushed her code, an automated load test ran, comparing her query against the main branch. Moments later, she saw a new comment automatically added to her PR: the comparison results showed reduced execution time and improved efficiency. Smiling, Sophia messaged her team, “Performance gains confirmed!”»

Ever left a restaurant wanting to write a review, but thinking it wasn't worth the trouble to tap out all those words on your phone -- you just want to give the place your n stars and provide a few words of praise or condemnation? If only you could press a button to generate a plausible review. If this project happens, you will.

Create a system to allow a community to add contextual information to "open books". Think wikipedia for books

Project Description

Using HQ cameras from Waveshare and RPi hardware, write configurable scripts to create different timelapse scenes (clouds, traffic, ...). The software should capture a frame every X seconds for the desired period of time and build a video out of all the images.

Perl-apparmor is obsolete in the apparmor community. No one is maintaining it. However, opensuse has to keep it to interact with yast, which is the main consumer of perl-apparmor. Getting rid of perl-apparmor would mean:

Initial idea to build a tool to help rubygems community to rotate maintainers for abandoned projects.

Using traditional hardware development tools, apply a Non-uniform Choppy Transformation to a block of ligneous substance. The end result should be a 3D rendering of the Geeko glyph.

Since eBPF was introduced into linux kernel, the eBPF verifier keeps the eBPF programs from any wrong-doing. I would like to look into the verifier and see if it's possible to extend the check to avoid reading any sensitive data in the memory.

I got a Raspberry pi 4 not long ago, I'd like to install openSUSE Leap 15.2(Alpha) on it, and set up hass - Home Assistant, a open source home automation assistant on rpi4, then have some fun with it!

QADB is the database used to strore results of automated tests in SUSE QA.

While DDR4 memory has become quite popular, decode-dimms doesn't know about it and is not able to display any useful information for DDR4 memory modules. I would like decode-dimms to provide the same detailed information about DDR4 memory modules as it does for all older memory types.

The Bard music manager is a command line tool to organize local music I've been developing over the last years (in Hackweek 15 it was called finddupmusic). It parses your local music collection and stores the metadata in a sqlite database, then it can generate audio fingerprints and recognize similar/duplicated songs. It can also be used to play music (using internally mpv), set ratings, fix metadata, etc.

Since I'm already working on a work-related project (https://hackweek.suse.com/14/projects/1388), I decided to also spend some time improving some of my toolbox. This includes configurations, scripts, pet projects and so on.

Take the oportunity to learn Kubernetes, to play with AWS and compare performance and availability of openQA and OBS instances and openSUSE Mirrors running on AWS.

Python offers some useful libraries for this topic, I already know numpy and openCV, I want to try for example scikit-image.

ABF is a buildsystem developed by ROSA (rosalab.com) and OpenMandriva (https://www.openmandriva.org/) currently being used for their distribution.

openSUSE now has a lot of black magic around building distributions for :Factory and :Leap

VNC protocol transfers key symbols (= basically characters), not key codes (= "coordinates" on keyboard). Therefore pressing the same keys may result in sending different commands over VNC depending on the keyboard layout and state of modifiers on the client side. The server however can not directly send the key symbol to the application, it must instead find or create key code that will translate to that symbol and send that.
