Project Description

Grub has limited LUKS2 support in master branch for few months (only PBKDF2, Argon2 is not yet supported). It'd be useful to implement LUKS2 detection in grub-probe in order not have to specify required modules manually.

Zeroconf/Bonjour/Avahi is a very interesting technique that targets at freeing users of services from tedious IP-based network configuration by automatic-distributed address-assigning, name-assigning and service discovery/browsing. It's named officially as zeroconf, Bonjour is the implementation in OS X, iOS and Windows, while Avahi is for Unix-like system.

• automated generation of patchinfos
• improve incident-view

Project Description

I'd like to consider the possibilities for redesigning SUSE documentation. Mark Baker ("Every Page is Page One") says "include it all, filter it afterwards" which is the exact antithesis of what we currently offer. Let's consider how we can move documentation into the future: search driven, user friendly, accessible, and in line with the way our readers use the rest of the internet.

Circuits is a coding marathon to challenge developers with several programming questions of varying difficulty level over 9 days.

There is a number of annoyances and pending improvements when working with the Salt Formula for provisioning Prometheus Exporters in Uyuni:

Project Description

Having gotten access to some SMR prototypes it should be possible to tweak btrfs to run natively on those devices. Using SSD mode helps a lot, but there is still some work to be done. So this will be a good chance to learn something about the inner details of btrfs and see if I can get it to run on SMR drives.

SUSE Manager has the possibility to add custom channels using the GUI.

It's been a little while since I last needed to do some binary reverse engineering, so I want to up my game.

Project Description

terraform-provider-libvirt supports CoreOS ignition file/content, which end rendered as kernel command line options (the provider does some nice stuff like allowing you to pass the json content and it will take care of putting it into a temporary file).

Learn opencv and Face recognition related knowledge to build Face recognition project on raspberry 4b

openSUSE lacks useable cross-compilers to glibc systems. This is the attempt to provide those, most important a cross-compiler for arm/aarch64.

Project Description

The salt-toaster (https://github.com/openSUSE/salt-toaster) is a tool created and developed by SUSE employees that we've been using for testing Salt since few years ago.

Salt is moving towards a plugable architecture using POP and Idem. This project is about experimenting with those new concepts by applying them to a real life case: the virt execution and state modules.

CephFS is awesome, but without a VPN it's not safe to be routed over the internet, and it lacks client support on many platforms. The Linux Kernel Library allows for the linux kernel to be built as a cross-platform user-space library and integrated into a regular Android, Windows, macOS, etc. application. This project combines CephFS, LKL and wireguard, and sprinkles some io-uring on top.

tl;dr

In https://github.com/SUSE-Cloud/automation/ we already have mkcloud, which can setup a whole SUSE Cloud on a single host for testing. However, it would be cool, if (instead of a single machine) we could use cloud.suse.de with its capability to add extra networks as requested.

Everybody is talking about (and with) ChatGPT. I tried it and was impressed by how well the language model behaves and finally how real and humanly it appears, despite the obvious nonsense that it outputs. I was wondering how machine learning practically works and how to build a neural network.

Description

I want to improve my personal server hosting environment. The key tasks include exploring OpenMediaVault which i've freshly set up, migrating existing Docker instances to docker-compose.yml files for streamlined deployment on Portainer, revamping the landing page built with Hugo, and investigating the potential of using Homarr to replace the current landing page for a more dynamic user experience. If there's enough time, i want to also improve the backup procedure, which is currently not covering all services.

The webVTT standard (nearly the same as the older SRT subtitles) allows to add subtitles to a video. We could use this in openQA to show which keys were pressed at that point in the video, in which line of code we were or on what event we waited. This could make debugging easier and might be instructive to users, too.

Motivation

DAPS (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Documentation:Tools/daps) is a tool we use in the documentation team to create/validate/export/... docbook documents. It's currently available for SUSE and openSUSE systems, and I believe that packaging it for Debian GNU Linux would help both the DAPS and the Linux community (and me myself as I'm using Debian at home as well :-)

I would like to learn Salt by converting ansible scripts to salt states. Current ansible scripts do some QA tasks on cloud nodes, so i thought it would be a good idea to convert them to salt after reading salt tutorial.

DAPS is the tool used by the SUSE documentation team to generate HTML, ePUB, PDF, ... output of the SUSE manuals from DocBook XML sources. It uses the suse-xsl-stylesheets for this purpose.

Currently the Open Container Initiative doesn't specify a distribution protocol or system, and the current "standard" format is the Docker registry protocol. Aside from technical reservations with Docker registry, it is also not an OCI-compliant system and will require a lot of work to integrate it into all of the openSUSE/SUSE tooling.

I want to write a new rubocop cop that verifies that a schema.rb file in a Rails project, references a valid migration.

Connect is the "social network" of the openSUSE community. While this might not sound so important, the problem is that the tool is used for membership management and all the other "administrative" stuff for the openSUSE community, which makes it a very important tool.

Laitos is an open source project written in go, it emphasizes simplicity of maintenance and delivers a complete suite of web, DNS, and mail servers to host a personal web server. Beyond the suite of servers, laitos software hooks into numerous API platforms, that altogether enable user access to Internet features (such as Facebook, Twitter, emails) via alternative communication infrastructures such as telephone (PSTN), SMS, and satellite terminals.

Pi Security

With the approach of kernel 5.6 SGI Octanes are supported with builtin IO components. What's missing for a graphics workstation is a driver for the graphics card. There is already a not upstreamed framebuffer driver for Impact graphic cards. Since there will be no new framebuffer driver accepted upstream, the goal of this project is to convert the existing frame buffer driver to a DRM driver and make it ready to be sent upstream.

We kinda need more flexible PXE in Prague office, UEFI would also not hurt - so lets check what we can do to make it better.

Currently, opensuse-quickstart sets up a one-machine Cloud based on OpenStack, either with KVM or virtualisation. In order for bootstrapping further hosts, it would be much easier to set up only a bare-metal cloud on one machine, and PXE boot a 2nd machine via OpenStack Nova/Ironic.

Displays your openQA instance status, the feature/behavior should had at least like the list below,

Since there is no real documentation about openQA's lib/ functions I wanted to kill two birds with one stone and write a parser in perl that extracts all function names (and maybe preceding comments) in said directory and improve my perl knowledge by doing this.

Checking the status of your Github pull requests is annoying. You have to lose focus from your current work (ie. hacking) and open your browser, type the repo URL in the address bar, click on the Pull Requests page, and look at the status of your PR.

My car has it, nowadays every smartphone has it. But what's actually the math behind GPS (GLONASS) technique?

I use the KDevelop IDE whenever I can. At SUSE mostly for reading code while debugging some bug. My plan is to create plugin that will show extra information inline with the code to make it easier to explore foreign code.

cscope is a great tool index C/C++ sources and allow to navigate through the code. I have learned that the project is mostly dead and what is worse it uses its own database format to store the index. I would like to see some extended functionality in the tool - e.g. search whether a function A is reachable from B, filtering search results per-file, fix functions with function parameter detection (such functions are not recognized properly currently) and some others.

newburn is a system press testing tool. But it is out of maintained. And it is heavily integrated in ctcs2. So replace it with a new one.

Put together a collection of ideas and resources to mentor people managers on how to make better decisions:

Gathering detailed information about hardware in an automated way with chef using an ohai plugin enhances transparency about the hardware being used in a datacenter. The idea is to write a plugin for ohai that gatheres information from hard drives used in a node that runs chef-client.

Project Description

Project Description

Terraform's remote backend requires a Terraform Cloud account and has an initial limited offering. While the initial offering is suitable for small resource management and teams this quickly becomes an issue as usage demands increase. In addition Terraform's remote operations (plan,apply, etc) are executed on HashiCorp's cloud resources which present issues for sensitive data such as passwords and access keys. Users are also constrained to as what tooling is available on the remote execution environment for example having kubectl as part of a local-resource. This project aims to address these shortcomings in a native Kubernetes implementation.

Unity3D : Moba : (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) on SUSE Linux

My home server, and my other box hosting https://sysrich.co.uk are both in need of a bit of a refresh

We are using various tools, many of them are not yet in Tumbleweed (such as rst2html5, git-pimp and so on), aim of this project is to get them there.

The idea is simple - I want to learn Python :) My previous knowledge about Python is small. Only few tutorials and some initial readings of below mentioned books to get an overview.

Project Description

My plan is to add some more features to Weblate. The list is definitely not complete, but I'd like to check at least following areas:
