The supportconfig utility is used by support teams to collect all information needed to troubleshoot a system in one shot.
The objective of this project is to create a central repository of supportconfig tarballs. To do so, we're going to develop a set of tools to automatically fetch tarballs from known sources, parse the information, import the useful parts into an SQL database and expose it in a Web front-end where users can run some simple queries.
The following components will be developed:
- Collector: Retrieves supportconfigs from the usual sources (Bugzilla, ftp.novell.com).
- Parser: Parses the data from a supportconfig tarball and imports it into a database.
- Front-end: Displays the collected data in useful formats, generate statistics and allow simple queries.

The "Collector" and "Parser" components were developed during Hack Week 9.

A working prototype of the front-end (using python-django) was developed during Hack Week 10.

Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil
Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek
Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!
Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.
For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.
No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)
The idea is testing Salt and Salt-ssh clients, but NOT traditional clients, which are deprecated.
To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):
- Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
- Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
- Package management (install, remove, update...)
- Patching
- Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
- Salt remote commands
- Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
- Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
- Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
- Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)
If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)
- If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
- If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.
This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

FUSS
FUSS is a complete GNU/Linux solution (server, client and desktop/standalone) based on Debian for managing an educational network.
https://fuss.bz.it/
Seems to be a Debian 12 derivative, so adding it could be quite easy.

SUSE AI Meets the Game Board by moio
Use tabletopgames.ai’s open source TAG and PyTAG frameworks to apply Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning to two board games of our own design. On an all-green, all-open source, all-AWS stack!
AI + Board Games
Board games have long been fertile ground for AI innovation, pushing the boundaries of capabilities such as strategy, adaptability, and real-time decision-making - from Deep Blue's chess mastery to AlphaZero’s domination of Go. Games aren’t just fun: they’re complex, dynamic problems that often mirror real-world challenges, making them interesting from an engineering perspective.
As avid board gamers, aspiring board game designers, and engineers with careers in open source infrastructure, we’re excited to dive into the latest AI techniques first-hand.
Our goal is to develop an all-open-source, all-green AWS-based stack powered by some serious hardware to drive our board game experiments forward!
Project Goals
Set Up the Stack:
- Install and configure the TAG and PyTAG frameworks on SUSE Linux Enterprise Base Container Images.
- Integrate with the SUSE AI stack for GPU-accelerated training on AWS.
- Validate a sample GPU-accelerated PyTAG workload on SUSE AI.
- Ensure the setup is entirely repeatable with Terraform and configuration scripts, documenting results along the way.
Design and Implement AI Agents:
- Develop AI agents for the two board games, incorporating Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning techniques.
- Fine-tune model parameters to optimize game-playing performance.
- Document the advantages and limitations of each technique.
Test, Analyze, and Refine:
- Conduct AI vs. AI and AI vs. human matches to evaluate agent strategies and performance.
- Record insights, document learning outcomes, and refine models based on real-world gameplay.
Technical Stack
- Frameworks: TAG and PyTAG for AI agent development
- Platform: SUSE AI
- Tools: AWS for high-performance GPU acceleration
Why This Project Matters
This project not only deepens our understanding of AI techniques by doing but also showcases the power and flexibility of SUSE’s open-source infrastructure for supporting high-level AI projects. By building on an all-open-source stack, we aim to create a pathway for other developers and AI enthusiasts to explore, experiment, and deploy their own innovative projects within the open-source space.
Our Motivation
We believe hands-on experimentation is the best teacher.
Combining our engineering backgrounds with our passion for board games, we’ll explore AI in a way that’s both challenging and creatively rewarding. Our ultimate goal? To hack an AI agent that’s as strategic and adaptable as a real human opponent (if not better!) — and to leverage it to design even better games... for humans to play!

Symbol Relations by hli
Description
There are tools to build function call graphs based on parsing source code, for example, cscope.
This project aims to achieve a similar goal by directly parsing the disasembly (i.e. objdump) of a compiled binary. The assembly code is what the CPU sees, therefore more "direct". This may be useful in certain scenarios, such as gdb/crash debugging.
Detailed description and Demos can be found in the README file:
Supports x86 for now (because my customers only use x86 machines), but support for other architectures can be added easily.
Tested with python3.6
Goals
Any comments are welcome.

Port git-fixup to POSIX shell script and submit to git/git by mcepl
Description
https://github.com/keis/git-fixup is an exceedingly useful program, which I use daily, and I would love to every git user could bask in its awesomeness. Alas, it is a bash script, so it is not appropriate for the inclusion in git proper.
Goals
Port the script to plain POSIX shell and submit for consideration to git@vger.kernel.org
