The Typescript Game
Project Description
Uyuni recently made the switch from Javascript to Typescript. Alas, the team has a very mixed bag of experience with the technology and we could use a way to get everyone up to speed quickly.
One great way to learn new things is through games. There are numerous examples of learning-oriented games in the tech space already: Grid Garden, Flexbox Froggy etc. There don't seem to be any games aimed at learning Typescript, but we could make one!
Goal for this Hackweek
During Hackweek, the aim is to:
- ideate a set of game mechanics that can be used to teach Typescript in an engaging way
- develop a working prototype that demonstrates gameplay, ideally a few levels or comparable
The target audience will probably be people with some prior programming knowledge, but the smaller the resulting constraint, the better.
If the resulting prototype is good, the project can be followed up on after the Hackweek with proper polish, additional levels etc.

The result of the Hackweek is a working prototype that integrates Typescript validation with an editor and gameplay logic. Only had time to build one simple level, but it demonstrates all modules correctly working and how the gameplay works. See https://etheryte.github.io/the-typescript-game/ for a demo.

Cobbler Angular Web Interface by SchoolGuy
Project Description
The old Cobbler webinterface was built into the server, leading to a huge dependency stack only required for a few people.
Goal for this Hackweek
The project should aim to finalize the first prototype of the new Angular based web interface.
A secondary goal of this hackweek is to learn a lot of Angular.
Update for Hackweek 24
The GH project received some traction since I have some vacation. As such it is my aim to get a first alpha released to close the milestone 0.0.1 (or whatever version I can release with semantic release).

Agama Expert Partitioner by joseivanlopez
Description
Agama is a new Linux installer that will be very likely used for SLES 16.
It offers an UI for configuring the target system (language, patterns, network, etc). One of the more complex sections is the storage configuration, which is going to be revamped. This project consists on exploring the possibility of having something similar to the YaST Expert Partitioner for Agama.
Goals
- Explore different approaches for the storage UI in Agama.
Try to render Agama in a TUI browser by ancorgs
Description
Agama is a new Linux installer that will be very likely used for SLES 16. It offers a modern and convenient web interface that can be executed both locally and remotely.
But of course some users will miss the old TUI (ncurses) interface of the YaST installer.
So I want to experiment whether would it be possible to render a simplified version of the web interface for TUI browsers. That's only doable and maintainable if we keep the current technology stack we use for rendering the full-blown page, simply replacing complicated UI elements with others that are easy to render. That means the browser would need to support Javascript.
Chawan seems to be almost there regarding support for Javascript, XHR and related technologies. But according to this conversation, the next missing piece would be to support recursive import of module script tags.
Unfortunately, Chawan is written in Nim and I'm pretty sure a week is not enough time for me to learn Nim, implement the feature at Chawan and then fix whatever is the next obstacle on the Agama side.
But if someone could take care of the Nim part, I would do the same with the Agama one. So this is basically a call for help to get this project even started.

obs-service-vendor_node_modules by cdimonaco
Description
When building a javascript package for obs, one option is to use https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-service-node_modules as source service to get the project npm dependencies available for package bulding.
obs-service-vendornodemodules aims to be a source service that vendors npm dependencies, installing them with npm install (optionally only production ones) and then creating a tar package of the installed dependencies.
The tar will be used as source in the package building definitions.
Goals
- Create an obs service package that vendors the npm dependencies as tar archive.
- Maybe add some macros to unpack the vendor package in the specfiles

Design the new UI for storage configuration at Agama by ancorgs
Description
We are in the process of re-designing the web user interface to configure storage at Agama. We expected to have a clear idea of what we wanted before starting Hack Week. But the idea is still not that clear. So I will use use my Hack Week time to try several prototypes since I really want this to be done.
Goals
Have a prototype using Patternfly components and addressing all the use-cases we want to cover. Easy for the easy cases. Capable for the complex ones.
Editor mode at Agama web interface by ancorgs
Description
Agama is a new Linux installer that will be very likely used for SLES 16.
It takes a configuration (in JSON format) as input. And offers several interfaces to build that configuration in an easy and interactive way.
I was considering the possibility to add to the web interface a "text editor" mode similar to the XML editor available at virt-manager. That could be used to see how the changes in the UI translate into changes on the configuration.
Goals
- Refresh my knowledge about UI development for Agama, since there was a major overhaul recently (adopting TanStack Query) and I need to learn the new way to do things.
- Please hackers who always want to know how things work internally. :-)
SUSE Prague claw machine by anstalker
Project Description
The idea is to build a claw machine similar to e.g. this one:
Why? Well, it could be a lot of fun!
But also it's a great way to dispense SUSE and openSUSE merch like little Geekos at events like conferences, career fairs and open house events.
Goal for this Hackweek
Build an arcade claw machine.

In French, an article about why you always lose in claw machine games:
We're looking for handy/crafty people in the Prague office:
- woodworking XP or equipment
- arduino/raspi embedded programming knowledge
- Anthony can find a budget for going to GM and buying servos and such ;)
Enable the containerized Uyuni server to run on different host OS by j_renner
Description
The Uyuni server is provided as a container, but we still require it to run on Leap Micro? This is not how people expect to use containerized applications, so it would be great if we tested other host OSs and enabled them by providing builds of necessary tools for (e.g. mgradm). Interesting candidates should be:
- openSUSE Leap
- Cent OS 7
- Ubuntu
- ???
Goals
Make it really easy for anyone to run the Uyuni containerized server on whatever OS they want (with support for containers of course).
Saltboot ability to deploy OEM images by oholecek
Description
Saltboot is a system deployment part of Uyuni. It is the mechanism behind deploying Kiwi built system images from central Uyuni server location.
System image is when the image is only of one partition and does not contain whole disk image and deployment system has to take care of partitioning, fstab on top of integrity validation.
However systems like Aeon, SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro and similar are distributed as disk images (also so called OEM images). Saltboot currently cannot deploy these systems.
The main problem to saltboot is however that currently saltboot support is built into the image itself. This step is not desired when using OEM images.
Goals
Saltboot needs to be standalone and be able to deploy OEM images. Responsibility of saltboot would then shrink to selecting correct image, image integrity validation, deployment and boot to deployed system.

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 :-)
