I have cloned the classic Snake game in my spare time recently to learn about dynamic memory allocation and pointer stuff in C++. Last week we (the trainees) then had a C/C++ training and one topic was network communication with sockets.

The docker way of updating containers is to build a new image with the updated binaries and files, which creates a security concern. The docker way is not anymore running "zypper update" in the containment but to update the whole image in the image registry (hub docker if we are talking about public registry) and then pull the image update from there, stop the outdated containments and replace them by starting new containments based on the new image.

oscar is short for osc sugar, it will be a collection of little wrapper scripts on top of the openSUSE build service command-line tool that make it easier to use.

Banana-pi R2 has quite a good upstream support in the kernel, but lacks a u-boot support. The idea is to sit down at get working on that. This would be a good starting point to get u-boot support for other Mediatek SoCs as well.

What is meCoffee? The meCoffee is a small PID that can be used to upgrade an Espresso machine with some new features. It supports mostly the Rancilio Silvia. The initiator of meCoffee is starting to Open Source his work and has already done so by opening up the meBarista application for Android, iOS and Chrome.

Project Description

As shown in the kdevops frontpage in GitHub, "kdevops provides a framework for automation for optimal Linux kernel development and testing". It currently supports fstests, blktests, pynfs, selftests and so on.

Google recently open-sourced its Artificial Intelligence/Numerical Computing library called TensorFlow. I would like to use it to help us do a bug report clustering. A bug report often contains lots of comments. In order to find the similar bugs from different customers quickly and intelligently, I would like to choose a proper clustering algorithm and implement a model with TensorFlow, which can be deployed on a PC smoothly.

The theory behind the partitioning proposal of yast2-storage-ng is that all possible distributions of partitions in the disk are evaluated and the best one, according to this criteria, is chosen. But I have found several examples in which is hard believe that the result is actually the optimal distribution of partitions. So I want to invest some time checking if the error is on my side and the code is indeed proposing the best solution and, if that's not the case, improving the decision making of the code.

or how to replace git push heroku master and cf push with Kubernetes PaaS has made deployment of applications very easy. Kubernetes has made deployment of applications very flexible but not easy. There are efforts to add the "easy" part to Kubernetes. That would make Kubernetes a good alternative to PaaS. With so many public cloud Kubernetes offerings nowadays, it would be nice if one could simply pick up their preferred cloud and have an app running in minutes. This HackWeek project will be and exploration of the available tools that can make Kubernetes as friendly as a PaaS for deployment but also how much Kubernetes can help development.

How it is

Currently the telegraf webhooks plugin for github produces rather dumb measurements. Just extracting data from the webhook and putting it into the TSDB. The interesting data for engineering metrics you have to calculate yourself then.

Project Description

Last hackweek I rather hacked up Qactus to include a useful dashboard for packagers as can be seen below. While this mostly works, it has some issues and the code is in no way at a point where it would be acceptable upstream.

Pebble smartwatch is a nice gadget I own and I'd like to start playing with it at the code level. One goal would be to create a SUSECon / conference application for it, allowing to choose which talks I will attend and make sure the watch will notify me in advance a session will begin.

What is ResourceSpace https://www.resourcespace.com/

Project Description

The goal is to first set-up hyprland on my own Aeon machine and after that creating an image in the OBS for re-use by others, preferably without Gnome in the installed packages.

SeaMonkey is the successor of the Mozilla Suite. The mail client allows connections over POPv3 and IMAPv4. In some cases one wants to leave the program running for longer periods of time, but once the mail client has password for a mail server it just stays connected. In case of "keep everything on server" profiles this means that the mail may stay accessible even when the machine is left unattended (which it often is). The purpose of the extension is to enable requesting the client to forget mail server passwords, so that the mail is no longer accessible without entering it again. http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

The project is to address fdisk/libfdisk TODO items from upstream util-linux project: https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/blob/master/Documentation/TODO#L84

The goal is to use the work from the debug-early GCC branch to generate better debug information for LTO compiled objects, especially with regarding to language specifics like classes and templates. This has now been achieved and openSUSE Factory
