Long story short, I would like to practice my golang skills. For that I am going to write a parser that finds ratings for the picture quality of the new 4k UHD discs.

SUSE Health Check Tools by roseswe
SUSE HC Tools Overview
A collection of tools written in Bash or Go 1.24++ to make life easier with handling of a bunch of tar.xz balls created by supportconfig.
Background: For SUSE HC we receive a bunch of supportconfig tar balls to check them for misconfiguration, areas for improvement or future changes.
Main focus on these HC are High Availability (pacemaker), SLES itself and SAP workloads, esp. around the SUSE best practices.
Goals
- Overall improvement of the tools
- Adding new collectors
- Add support for SLES16

terraform-provider-feilong by e_bischoff
Project Description
People need to test operating systems and applications on s390 platform. While this is straightforward with KVM, this is very difficult with z/VM.
IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (ICIC) harnesses the Feilong API, but you can use Feilong without installing ICIC(see this schema).
What about writing a terraform Feilong provider, just like we have the terraform libvirt provider? That would allow to transparently call Feilong from your main.tf files to deploy and destroy resources on your z/VM system.
Goal for Hackweek 23
I would like to be able to easily deploy and provision VMs automatically on a z/VM system, in a way that people might enjoy even outside of SUSE.
My technical preference is to write a terraform provider plugin, as it is the approach that involves the least software components for our deployments, while remaining clean, and compatible with our existing development infrastructure.
Goals for Hackweek 24
Feilong provider works and is used internally by SUSE Manager team. Let's push it forward!
Let's add support for fiberchannel disks and multipath.
Goals for Hackweek 25
Modernization, maturity, and maintenance: support for SLES 16 and openTofu, new API calls, fixes...

go-git: unlocking SHA256-based repository cloning ahead of git v3 by pgomes
Description
The go-git library implements the git internals in pure Go, so that any Go application can handle not only Git repositories, but also lower-level primitives (e.g. packfiles, idxfiles, etc) without needing to shell out to the git binary.
The focus for this Hackweek is to fast track key improvements for the project ahead of the upstream release of Git V3, which may take place at some point next year.
Goals
- Add support for cloning SHA256 repositories.
- Decrease memory churn for very large repositories (e.g. Linux Kernel repository).
- Cut the first alpha version for
go-git/v6.
Stretch goals
- Review and update the official documentation.
- Optimise use of go-git in Fleet.
- Create RFC/example for go-git plugins to improve extensibility.
- Investigate performance bottlenecks for Blame and Status.

Q2Boot - A handy QEMU VM launcher by amanzini
Description
Q2Boot (Qemu Quick Boot) is a command-line tool that wraps QEMU to provide a streamlined experience for launching virtual machines. It automatically configures common settings like KVM acceleration, virtio drivers, and networking while allowing customization through both configuration files and command-line options.
The project originally was a personal utility in D, now recently rewritten in idiomatic Go. It lives at repository https://github.com/ilmanzo/q2boot
Goals
Improve the project, testing with different scenarios , address issues and propose new features. It will benefit of some basic integration testing by providing small sample disk images.
Updates
- Dec 1, 2025 : refactor command line options, added structured logging. Released v0.0.2
- Dec 2, 2025 : added external monitor via telnet option
- Dec 4, 2025 : released v0.0.3 with architecture auto-detection
- Dec 5, 2025 : filing new issues and general polishment. Designing E2E testing

Play with the userfaultfd(2) system call and download on demand using HTTP Range Requests with Golang by rbranco
Description
The userfaultfd(2) is a cool system call to handle page faults in user-space. This should allow me to list the contents of an ISO or similar archive without downloading the whole thing. The userfaultfd(2) part can also be done in theory with the PROT_NONE mprotect + SIGSEGV trick, for complete Unix portability, though reportedly being slower.
Goals
- Create my own library for userfaultfd(2) in Golang.
- Create my own library for HTTP Range Requests.
- Complete portability with Unix.
- Benchmarks.
- Contribute some tests to LTP.
