Project Description

It's becoming less and less likely that server-class machine support booting with legacy BIOS. The industry standard is now UEFI, and has been for 15 years; this is what vendors test and support.

Goal: You have a problem/question and don't know who could help you at SUSE?

During Hack Week 7 I worked on an archive of Qt-based libraries. The goal was to easily make all available Qt libraries accessible to developers. Think CPAN for Qt. So I hacked on a web site and a command line client. There was a little bit of progress on the project since then, but with the upcoming KDE Frameworks 5 there will be quite a number of additional libraries available for Qt developers. This should be well represented in Inqlude as well. The coverage of Inqlude is also still not complete, and the tooling needs some improvement as well, especially regarding integration with distributions.

Learn Coccinelle ,we need automatic kernel backporting with Coccinelle.

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. The goal is to get familiar with OpenCV API and with the available algorithms. Specifically, I want to look into these particular tasks:

The software is a rails app with an Angular.js frontend using the gphoto2 library to trigger a Nikon D60 camera. Features: take pictures, browse pictures, automatic upload to a gallery (tumblr, flickr, owncloud), qr code for download,

Simplify the codebase by using a more modern toolkit to accelerate maintenance and future development. Enjoy Hakkaweek!

The Doc team decided to collect remainders of foreign currencies to donate them to a 3rd world project. There is a box in the Documentation office on 1st floor AND in the All Hands Area where you can drop coins, bills or whatever currency you have left over from your last holiday trip that you don't need anymore.

Wicked is a network configuration infrastructure incorporating a number of existing frameworks into a unified architecture, providing a DBUS interface to network configuration. https://github.com/openSUSE/wicked

RISC-V is an open ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) based on RISC architecture. It's originated from UC Berkeley and it's attracting more attention in recent years because of its full open architecture so every developer has opportunities to get involved in application processor design or apply it into different applications, such as IoT, Robotics, ... etc. Any topic about RISC-V is welcome, here are some topics you might be interested in:

Package a basic, stripped down version of sysvinit for emergency cases, so you can repair a failed system without interference. My goal is not to replace systemd with sysvinit again, but to provide a sysvinit-base package that does not have any dependencies at all and can just be installed on any system. sysvinit will only be used in exception situations by specifying the kernel parameter "init=/sbin/init" or something like that. The package will come with the binary, a minimal inittab and a basic boot script that does only the really needed stuff. Experiment with an extension to have sysvinit execve systemd, so people can boot into their allmighty uber-daemon once the system has been fixed.

Project Description

Some people prefer LaTeX for creating documents and presentations. The templates provided by Marketing don't include one for Beamer

During the YCP Killer project, Y2R didn't translate most YCP operators and builtins into equivalent Ruby constructs but into library calls. This was necessary to preserve behavior in various edge-case situations, mostly when nil was passed around. The resulting code is often long and hard to work with. Example from SlideShow.rb:

Avahi is (among others) a domain names auto-configuration system for Linux compatible with Bonjour. The project is to dig into avahi source code to modernize it if possible and fix bugs.

I already have a [python script][0] processing mails received in the Calendar folder to get the ical event and push it to [radicale][1]. It has several drawbacks: * It doesn't detect appointment changes (pretty easy to fix as each event has a unique ID)

This is about writing a tool to find differences in assembly files generated by gcc. The goal is to find the symbols in a program that have changed by a source code patch. This information can then be used to create and/or verify kGraft patches.

This is about porting the old KDE 3 based KDirstat to the latest Qt 5. KDirStat didn't use that much KDE infrastructure to begin with, and KDE seems to be more and more a moving target. Project repo and web site with more details:

From a user perspective there are many ways to secure email communication with pgp. Especially the key handling is still challenging non tekkis. This project investigates processes techniques that are easier to handle for users by introducing hardware tokens for storing the private key.

Project Description

Inspired by one of the proposals for GSoC and given that I'm usually working on maintenance updates for SUSE Manager - Uyuni I decided to translate it to Italian. :)

Build a network of ("edge") humidity sensors using Raspberry Pis with SenseHats and additional cheaper sensors

For our house, I want to make sure I can track the effectiveness of regularly ventilating the rooms by adding humidity sensors and tracking the measurements over time.

The virtualization team's automated testing has a long history. It was born in the old Novell Integration Test framework. The virtualization lab ran an instance of this framework for many years. Over time, those who knew the framework left the company, taking their knowledge and leaving little documentation behind. As our testing needs increased, we found the old framework insufficient, but saw little value in improving it given the available open source CI frameworks. Before burying ourselves in SLE12 development, we took some time to move our automated tests under control of a Jenkins instance running in our lab. Tests were configured to run when new packages landed in our SLE12 devel project, ensuring our queued SLE12 submissions were continuously tested. But more is needed.

Summary

Logos Competition: openSUSE, Tumbleweed, Leap, Slowroll and Kalpa

The openSUSE Community is considering a new, distinct openSUSE logo to represent the project as well as four new logos for the following openSUSE distributions; Tumbleweed, Leap, Slowroll and Kalpa. There have been discussions of a new openSUSE logo over the years, but the timing to transition to a new logo wasn’t ideal, until now.

Right now, every time a new team wants a new room in our Jangouts instance, they have to ping me and I have to manually create the room. That means: * Adding some lines to the corresponding config file

The current Jangouts UI is limiting us when thinking about adding new features. Some examples: * This (using the whole thumbnail to pin a participant) was implemented, but the result is far from optimal (I have not even deployed it in production).

The goal of this project is two fold. The first is to better learn and understand why Kubernetes might do something in the way that it does (especially in the control plane)

Learn how openQA was implemented in details. And will spend some time to learn Perl (e.g. read the book <Learning Perl>)

With all those analyzers for C code we get so much information about our C code. Yet our shell code regularly nukes systems.

Project Description

This project aims to write a minimal Gameboy emulator using Go programming language.

As every hackweek, lets package/update/cleanup some stuff fore factory: Update/package:

The idea behind the project comes from recent work on integration of OpenDayLight with Suse OpenStack Cloud 6/7. The goal for this Hackweek project is to realize a demonstrable NFV use-case on Suse OpenStack Cloud with as much reduced manual orchestration as possible. The use-case to consider is to run a Service Function Chain(SFC) with basic Network functions like Firewall/QoS that run as services on JeOS Guests on SUSE OpenStack Cloud (SOC).

Although availability of computer games on Linux has improved a lot there is way more potential for openSUSE to fire them up. This project is about improving the usability of openSUSE for gaming to appreciate the gamers who run openSUSE as their primary OS. The final goal for a number of improvements is that each gamer can play flawlessly without a single issue.

While in the past MIPS boards were either low-end PIC32 or found in routers running OpenWRT at most, Imagination themselves have recently released the Creator CI20 board (Ingenic, MIPS32) running Debian. And the Shield Pro (previously iGuardian) kickstarter project (Octeon-III, MIPS64) promises to become a playground for testing KVM hardware virtualization. Porting openSUSE to MIPS will involve setting up an OBS instance linked to Factory (update: done) and cross-compiling a set of packages for an initial bootstrap (update: in progress). Maybe this can be scripted to some degree, as there will be some overlap with the ARM ILP32 port project.
