Why

Knowledge is only useful if it is accessible.

What

A tool to search the SUSE world and help you find the things that really matter to you.

How

Index all Wiki pages (Github, MF Wiki, etc) and other R&D relevant sources of knowledge. Search interface should be available in both Web and command line formats and support full-text search.

Implementation ideas

  • Lucene-based search engine (ex: ElasticSearch)
  • Indexing daemon (Golang or Python)
  • REST Api
  • HTML / Javascript frontend (ex: React.js)
  • Command line search tool (Golang and Python)

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      http://fastzilla.suse.de/ is another initiative to have a fast index at least on Bugzilla

      IRC logs would also be a good source of data.

        Definitely. Do we have a server copy of channel logs somewhere?

      Everybody interested in this project: let's talk on friday! We're already working on something like that. Or maybe exactly the same: Elasticsearch, Python crawler, web UI (docserv.nue.suse.com).

    Create a go module to wrap happy-compta.fr by cbosdonnat

    Description

    https://happy-compta.fr is a tool for french work councils simple book keeping. While it does the job, it has no API to work with and it is tedious to enter loads of operations.

    Goals

    Write a go client module to be used as an API to programmatically manipulate the tool.

    Writing an example tool to load data from a CSV file would be good too.


    Updatecli Autodiscovery supporting WASM plugins by olblak

    Description

    Updatecli is a Golang Update policy engine that allow to write Update policies in YAML manifest. Updatecli already has a plugin ecosystem for common update strategies such as automating Dockerfile or Kubernetes manifest from Git repositories.

    This is what we call autodiscovery where Updatecli generate manifest and apply them dynamically based on some context.

    Obviously, the Updatecli project doesn't accept plugins specific to an organization.

    I saw project using different languages such as python, C#, or JS to generate those manifest.

    It would be great to be able to share and reuse those specific plugins

    During the HackWeek, I'll hang on the Updatecli matrix channel

    https://matrix.to/#/#Updatecli_community:gitter.im

    Goals

    Implement autodiscovery plugins using WASM. I am planning to experiment with https://github.com/extism/extism

    To build a simple WASM autodiscovery plugin and run it from Updatecli

    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

    Rewrite Distrobox in go (POC) by fabriziosestito

    Description

    Rewriting Distrobox in Go.

    Main benefits:

    • Easier to maintain and to test
    • Adapter pattern for different container backends (LXC, systemd-nspawn, etc.)

    Goals

    • Build a minimal starting point with core commands
    • Keep the CLI interface compatible: existing users shouldn't notice any difference
    • Use a clean Go architecture with adapters for different container backends
    • Keep dependencies minimal and binary size small
    • Benchmark against the original shell script

    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

    1. Create my own library for userfaultfd(2) in Golang.
    2. Create my own library for HTTP Range Requests.
    3. Complete portability with Unix.
    4. Benchmarks.
    5. Contribute some tests to LTP.

    Improve chore and screen time doc generator script `wochenplaner` by gniebler

    Description

    I wrote a little Python script to generate PDF docs, which can be used to track daily chore completion and screen time usage for several people, with one page per person/week.

    I named this script wochenplaner and have been using it for a few months now.

    It needs some improvements and adjustments in how the screen time should be tracked and how chores are displayed.

    Goals

    • Fix chore field separation lines
    • Change screen time tracking logic from "global" (week-long) to daily subtraction and weekly addition of remainders (more intuitive than current "weekly time budget method)
    • Add logic to fill in chore fields/lines, ideally with pictures, falling back to text.

    openQA log viewer by mpagot

    Description

    *** Warning: Are You at Risk for VOMIT? ***

    Do you find yourself staring at a screen, your eyes glossing over as thousands of lines of text scroll by? Do you feel a wave of text-based nausea when someone asks you to "just check the logs"?

    You may be suffering from VOMIT (Verbose Output Mental Irritation Toxicity).

    This dangerous, work-induced ailment is triggered by exposure to an overwhelming quantity of log data, especially from parallel systems. The human brain, not designed to mentally process 12 simultaneous autoinst-log.txt files, enters a state of toxic shock. It rejects the "Verbose Output," making it impossible to find the one critical error line buried in a 50,000-line sea of "INFO: doing a thing."

    Before you're forced to rm -rf /var/log in a fit of desperation, we present the digital antacid.

    No panic: we have The openQA Log Visualizer

    This is the UI antidote for handling toxic log environments. It bravely dives into the chaotic, multi-machine mess of your openQA test runs, finds all the related, verbose logs, and force-feeds them into a parser.

    image

    Goals

    Work on the existing POC openqa-log-visualizer about few specific tasks:

    • add support for more type of logs
    • extend the configuration file syntax beyond the actual one
    • work on log parsing performance

    Find some beta-tester and collect feedback and ideas about features

    If time allow for it evaluate other UI frameworks and solutions (something more simple to distribute and run, maybe more low level to gain in performance).

    Improve/rework household chore tracker `chorazon` by gniebler

    Description

    I wrote a household chore tracker named chorazon, which is meant to be deployed as a web application in the household's local network.

    It features the ability to set up different (so far only weekly) schedules per task and per person, where tasks may span several days.

    There are "tokens", which can be collected by users. Tasks can (and usually will) have rewards configured where they yield a certain amount of tokens. The idea is that they can later be redeemed for (surprise) gifts, but this is not implemented yet. (So right now one needs to edit the DB manually to subtract tokens when they're redeemed.)

    Days are not rolled over automatically, to allow for task completion control.

    We used it in my household for several months, with mixed success. There are many limitations in the system that would warrant a revisit.

    It's written using the Pyramid Python framework with URL traversal, ZODB as the data store and Web Components for the frontend.

    Goals

    • Add admin screens for users, tasks and schedules
    • Add models, pages etc. to allow redeeming tokens for gifts/surprises
    • …?
