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. See if the cscope specific storage can be replaced by a more generic database (sqlite?) and understand how the code flow works so that new extensions would be easier to implement.

Project Description

It would be nice being able to "rebase" a MicroOS/Aeon/Kalpa installation. This can be useful, for example, to undo changes done manually with transactional-update shell, to try another variant (like replacing Aeon with Kalpa) and so on... but the goal of this project is mostly to get more knowledgeable with the MicroOS/ALP internals (tukit, snapper, et all) while doing something fun.

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.

Project Description

After I start to do photography, I created a website as gallery to show my good photos (<https://gallery.alynx.one/&gt;), I don't want to host such a gallery on my own server because it's only some static images, and GitHub pages is perfect for it. But a easy to use way to submit photos and re-generate the webpage is needed. Currently I write a Telegram bot to do this, it is strange but useful, I don't need to write a whole CMS by hand, just listen to Telegram messages and call the render script.

Project Description

Evaluate the various parental controls options to be used on Tumbleweed / Aeon, pick and choose one or more (depending on the needs) and make sure they are properly packaged on openSUSE Tumbleweed (if not available on Flathub) and can be integrated on a computer for a kid.

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

With the desire for Rancher Manager to scale to managing 1000s of clusters (10,000 i hear you say) we could try and have 1 instance of Rancher Manager doing it all. But could we have a Manager of Managers? How could we support multi-tenancy where each Rancher Manager has different versions etc?

Project Description

This project was initially created for my graduation project. Currently, I've finished

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

This page is under development:

My home server, and my other box hosting https://sysrich.co.uk are both in need of a bit of a refresh While I could be nice and conservative and pick an openSUSE regular release, I'm actually considering using openSUSE Tumbleweed, and fully embracing the 'Servers as Cattle' concept

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

The goal is to build a custom PCB and firmware for a smart meteostation with ESP32 at it's core. The board should have PoE available. Sparkfun Weather Meter Kit is used for the anemometer, wind vane and rain gauge.

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: * [Support for federated login using GitHub, OpenID, Facebook,...][170]

Currently Salt is using supportconfig utility alongside with the SUSE Manager installation. Every single bugreport for Salt, that contains its logs are always useless that regard. It might work for SUSE Manager, but for Salt it doesn't. And even after asking user to switch the cluster into a debug mode or even trace mode, it is still far away from being useful enough, so the supporter don't need to dance with the tambourine around the fire, guessing what ghost just munged what component. What if we can reuse Salt's internal tooling and develop some more tools that will not just grab logs/sysinfo from what is already there, but also get much more data, "x-ray" minions, turn them into a debug mode, collect right data, perform tests realtime etc?

The SMBus standard specifies an address resolution protocol (SMBus ARP.) It has two key features : * Handle I2C slave address collisions. If two SMBus slaves would use the same I2C address, ARP lets one of them pick a different address to avoid the address collision.

I'm running a simple home mirror, but I managed to get into a situation where I have to use a bunch of custom excludes. I think we should be able to offer what people want nowadays.\

There are several popular ways of controlling home automation with voice today. Amazon Echo and Google Home both allow users to control lights, speakers, etc. with a simple voice command. For this project, I want to replicate some of the simple voice commands supported by projects like those, but in a way that does all processing from within the local network, and doesn't upload any voice clips to a server outside the home. There's something that feels a little uncomfortable about Amazon or Google having the ability to listen in on all conversations, so I'm trying to eliminate that while still being able to turn my lights on or off by voice.

At SUSE/openSUSE we are using (at least some times) Etherpad, whose functionality is really limited and looks as taken from the past. :seenoevil: After taking a look to other possible Open Source alternatives, I think there is at the moment any which offers all the feature I would like to have. Because of that I would like to contribute to JetPad, with the idea of using it privately and that it can also be used by SUSE/openSUSE. JetPad is a web-based collaborative text editor built with SwellRT real-time technology and the Angular 2 framework. Both JetPad and SwellRT code can be found in GitHub:

To say it's a review, it's better to say it's a good way to learn from others. I'll review test scripts in openQA project as much as I can, digest them and learn how to write Perl script more pretty. I'll make some notes for sharing.

For this Hackweek, I want to focus on building a small application around Raspberry PI, motion-sensors and video capture.

Project Description

A kubernetes controller that spins a dev k3s cluster within your existing kubernetes cluster, the idea is derived from k3d but instead of using docker on the desktop machine to spin a k3s cluster, I will be using kubernetes itself as the host for these clusters.

Predicting the non-functional properties of a Ceph cluster can be quite difficult. There are many inputs in the hardware setup and software configuration that affect the resulting availability, reliability and performance (latency and throughput at nominal levels and during degraded and rebuild times). I want to understand the interrelationship of these parameters better and build a (perhaps interactive) model that allows us to predict the result without the need to build a ten thousand node cluster.

OBS studio is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. As SUSE Ambassador I do a lot of video creation and editing. As Open Source Ambassador I prefer to work with (F)OSS instead of some proprietary standards in the market.

There is a ramdisk block device (brd), and there is a null multiqueue device (nullblk). The one can do I/O, but doesn't use multiqueue, and the other does multiqueue but cannot do I/O. So the idea is to have a new multiqueue ramdisk block device (ramblk?), which can do both. Would be most useful for testing multiqueue.

During the last CSM workshop I started to refactor zypper-docker in a way that: - The CLI code and the "library" part got split.

Alexa understands you. Jessy is the same, but you also understand her! :-)

Everyone loves to talk to the computer. Especially if it understands you. :-) So the Amazon Alexa is a hype right now. However, it requires your marriage to Amazon and signing contract to sell your soul in the afterlife: Alexa is nothing but a fancy microphone that sends everything you speak to ̶F̶B̶I̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶C̶I̶A̶ Amazon cloud so it will access your public API. Yes, and give them your access rights, of course...

Project Description

Crev [1] is a collaborative code audit idea. Since it's common that more security engineers can work on the same projects, or there can be a different person auditing a piece of code after some time, there is the need to keep track of the code audit notes in a non-repudiable way.

Project Description

We know that Kubernetes clusters need control planes but running them in dedicated VMs might not be always efficient, instead, we can run them as pods within the management cluster.

The SLE15 development model follows the Factory First policy, where all submissions need to go first to openSUSE:Factory and then to SLE15 repos. This way more bugs are fixed, less patches get lost, less backporting is happening etc. Our openSUSE infrastructure is using salt for configuration management. This was working fine, but suddenly we had to split the openSUSE from the SUSE-DMZ services into separate VLANs, thus the salt codebase had to be split as well. The code itself is mostly formulas and quite similar states between the two set of services though. The only real difference was in the pillars, and even there there was a lot of duplication.

Project Description

The openSUSE Project has a problem, not enough people are engaged in the development. In order to fix this, we need a less obscure way to learn about contributing. One of the ways to do that is enabling people to discover various open meetings that happen for planning of various areas of project progress.

I'm hearing impaired. Where others have no issues following talks or dicussions, I often fail even grasp the bottom line what it's about. I've got hearing aids, but they help only so much. I also have an add-on device for my hearing aids that acts like a bluetooth headset. Unfortunately, making this thing work under my Linux desktop has been an ongoing, frustrating struggle. On the contrary, it works flawlessly with Android devices of different generations, and even with my lowly Gigaset phone. Actually, the thing works better with older kernels/Linux versions than with current TW. While I've little hope to solve the bluetooth audio issues on Linux for good, I hope at least to be able to understand better what's going wrong, and be able to slow down or even stop the deterioration I've observed lately.

Project Description

Improve the gnome-shell extension Screen word translate and Switch Workspace

/media was a very comfortable thing standardized by FHS. After introduction of desktop based udisks mounts, the directory became empty. Paths like /run/media/me/directory or /run/user/1000/gvfs are used nowadays. When used from a terminal, it is very uncomfortable. As mounts are private to users, the old style of /media use cannot be returned back. But with a kernel namespaces feature, it is possible to make private mounts, and each user can see a different contents of /media.

Hikey is a development board with HiSilicon Kirin 620 eight-core ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit SoC. The original firmware is based on Tianocore EDK II, and I'd like to port coreboot to this board. Challenges:

When we started brain storming a project for hack week, one of the floated ideas was to remake the 1983 film WarGames, and for lack of available space, a local lot with storage units was proposed. Over the course of the following years, while we planned, we realized that this whole idea would not be the most feasible, but it still felt like we were onto something. Eventually, we settled with keeping the name and changing the scope.

Not a Hack Week project per se, but I am trying to connect with a few like minded people - I like playing Texas Holdem poker and am tired of playing bots/strangers online. I am hoping to gather a few fellow players for a game.

Intel Chen Yu developed a user land utility: Introduce the in-kernel hibernation encryption

Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own customized Linux system entirely from source. Build the customized linux step-by-step is good way to understand linux system deeply. (Include cross compile TEC which I have interest )

Fresh air and motion helps your brain to come up with new and creative ideas. This hackweek project offers exactly this*. You can expect running exercises along the Nuremberg city wall. Running 25 to 50 meters sidewards, jumping, running stairs, etc. will give your brain new energy.

Build an open-source appliance editor for SUSE Studio that interacts only with the API, using modern JS web frameworks. For users, this provides an opportunity to influence, or create unique tailored editing experiences for Studio appliances. For Studio maintainers, this provides a road towards a modern appliance editor, and a chance to remove tens of thousands of lines of brittle legacy code. For hackers, this provides a chance to get your feet wet with modern client-side web technologies, like

Project Description

Overall: Existing NFS-HA Consulting solution exists (for SLES15 SP1 and SP2+) and is in production at customers. Goal is to improve this solution, enhance the documentation and make it more robust.

YaST code organization is a mess at many levels (files location, namespaces, code dependencies...). Recently we created this gist to put some of the issues on the table Many YaST developers will be at openSUSE Conference, that overlaps with Hackweek. The plan is to lock them all in a room with a blackboard and reach agreements on how the code should be organized in the future. Then use Hackweek to iron the details, document everything in some kind of style guide and, if time permits, even do some experiments about how to adapt the existing code to the new conventions.

Project Description

Sometimes open source products lack of a good and inspiring documentation. So my idea is to brush up my Blender skills to a level that I'm able to do some tiny 3D animations to explain workflows and procedures better.

In case any of the source files changed, openSUSE Build Service rebuilds the dependent packages regardless of whether that particular modification affects the dependency. This makes our resources footprint bigger (and the electrical power bills higher). It also affects users, because every new package build causes the package manager to include that package in the next update thus consuming network bandwidth and resources of users' computers.

Current OBS controls for package rebuild triggers

Now we are lack of using internal wiki page to solve problem. One of the reason is that we don't know if it contain the solution we need, and it's not convenient to search it manually in wiki page. It's much more slower than using google. In one group, we are most likely facing the same problem during work. So keeping the best solution, which we got from searching engine, in internal wiki is an efficiency way to collect standard workflow.

Using docker as a development platform for nontrivial development environments sounds interesting. This project is about learning basic docker handling, about exploring how to use it for simplifying development, and maybe (but just maybe) about providing ready-made docker containers for new team members.

While normally data is passed to linuxrc (including an AutoYaST profile), modern auto-install tools like Ignition from CoreOS support a very interesting method: the QEMU Firmware Config device. This allows to read from inside the VM a blob by reading /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_name/opt/keyname. The driver is included in recent Linux kernels.
