There is a tool called caff, which is the de-facto standard when dealing with keysigning (on a large scale, e.g. after a key signing party). This tool hasn't been touch in years, is written and configured in Perl (hence cannot be read and/or maintained :smile:) and is not easy to package, because of a lot of dependencies, etc. It is not even available in our default repositories (at least for Tumbleweed). In general there seems to be a certain kind of frustration with this software, but there is no real alternative available yet.
Ideally the new toolset should allow to organize a complete keysigning party, e.g. it should assist the organizer with:
- Collecting all the keys before the keysigning party (e.g. automatically via mail and/or a dedicated OpenPGP keyserver) or by adding them manually (e.g. import the key itself or the key ID)
- Prepare a keyring/printout containing all of the keys previously collected and make it available to all participants (via mail, via keyserver, by copying it to a HTTP server, or possibly by hosting it over HTTP for ourselves, etc.)
For the actual participants of a keysigning party there should be a set of tools to allow for the following:
- Optional: Import the keyring published by the organizer
- Iterate through all of the keys (either from previously imported keyring or specified by the user):
- Retrieve the key information from a keyserver, if necessary
- Display the required information (fingerprint, name, UIDs, etc.)
- Ask the user for confirmation
- Actually sign the key
- For each UID that contains a mail address, the following should be done:
- Strip the UID from the rest of the key
- Send the receiver his signed key via mail, which makes sure he is (and/or at least was at some point in time) in control over the specified mail address
- Optional: Upload the key to a keyserver (when the mail loop is not wanted, etc.)
Another set of scripts/tools that might be useful for the organizer of a keysigning party, might allow for visualization of the web of trust before and after the event takes place. For instance the tool could generate a graph on the keyring published before the keysigning party. The resulting image file can be published. After the event has taken place and all of the participants had enough time to sign their keys (e.g. two weeks after the event), you could re-issue the command and publish the new graph. Ideally, the web of trust should be way better than beforehand.
All of this should be configurable via configuration files and command line options. It should be something easy to understand and flexible to use (e.g. YAML). You should not require any knowledge about the programming language that is used (which is the case with caff, since it uses Perl for its configuration file).
While I'm open to discussion about the programming language and tools being used, I'm planning to work on this in Go. I don't have a lot of experience with it yet, and hope to improve my skills with this project. Support for most of the requirements is already available, in particular:
- OpenPGP for actual cryptographic operations: https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp
- SMTP for sending mail(s): https://golang.org/pkg/net/smtp/
- Hosting and retrieving content via HTTP: https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/

I wrote a tool called easy-signing-party (https://github.com/mytbk/easy-signing-party) before.

Contribute to terraform-provider-libvirt by pinvernizzi
Description
The SUSE Manager (SUMA) teams' main tool for infrastructure automation, Sumaform, largely relies on terraform-provider-libvirt. That provider is also widely used by other teams, both inside and outside SUSE.
It would be good to help the maintainers of this project and give back to the community around it, after all the amazing work that has been already done.
If you're interested in any of infrastructure automation, Terraform, virtualization, tooling development, Go (...) it is also a good chance to learn a bit about them all by putting your hands on an interesting, real-use-case and complex project.
Goals
- Get more familiar with Terraform provider development and libvirt bindings in Go
- Solve some issues and/or implement some features
- Get in touch with the community around the project
Resources
- CONTRIBUTING readme
- Go libvirt library in use by the project
- Terraform plugin development

Cluster API Add-on Provider for Kubewarden by csalas
Description
Can we integrate Kubewarden with Cluster API provisioning?
Cluster API is a Kubernetes project focused on providing declarative APIs and tooling to simplify provisioning, upgrading, and operating multiple Kubernetes clusters. TLDR; CAPI let's you define Kubernetes clusters in plain YAML, and CAPI providers (infrastructure, control plane/bootstrap, etc.) manage provisioning and configuration for you.
What if we could create an add-on provider that automatically installs Kubewarden and deploys Policy Servers to CAPI clusters?
Goals
- As a user I'd like to set a cluster (or list of clusters) and have the provider install Kubewarden for me.
- As a user I'd like to set what policies must be enforced for a cluster (or list of clusters).
Resources

WebUI for your data by avicenzi
A single place to view every bit of data you have.
Problem
You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.
- Family photos and videos.
- Lots of eBooks, TV Shows, Movies, and else.
- Boxes full of papers (taxes, invoices, IDs, certificates, exams, and else).
- Bank account statements (multiple currencies, countries, and people).
Maybe you have some data on S3, some on your NAS, and some on your local PC.
- How do you get it all together?
- How do you link a bank transaction to a product invoice?
- How to tag any object type and create a collection out of it (mix videos, photos, PDFs, transactions)?
- How to store this? file/folder structure does not work, everything is linked together
Project Description
The idea is a place where you can throw all your data, photos, videos, documents, binaries, and else.
Create photo albums, document collections, add tags across multiple file-formats, link content, and else.
The UI should be easy to use, where the data is not important for now (could be all S3 or local drive).
Similar proposals
The closest I found so far is https://perkeep.org/, but this is not what I'm looking for.
Goal for this Hackweek
Create a web UI, in Svelte ideally, perhaps React.
It should be able to show photos and videos at least.
Resources
None so far, this is just an idea.
A CLI for Harvester by mohamed.belgaied
[comment]: # Harvester does not officially come with a CLI tool, the user is supposed to interact with Harvester mostly through the UI [comment]: # Though it is theoretically possible to use kubectl to interact with Harvester, the manipulation of Kubevirt YAML objects is absolutely not user friendly. [comment]: # Inspired by tools like multipass from Canonical to easily and rapidly create one of multiple VMs, I began the development of Harvester CLI. Currently, it works but Harvester CLI needs some love to be up-to-date with Harvester v1.0.2 and needs some bug fixes and improvements as well.
Project Description
Harvester CLI is a command line interface tool written in Go, designed to simplify interfacing with a Harvester cluster as a user. It is especially useful for testing purposes as you can easily and rapidly create VMs in Harvester by providing a simple command such as:
harvester vm create my-vm --count 5
to create 5 VMs named my-vm-01 to my-vm-05.
Harvester CLI is functional but needs a number of improvements: up-to-date functionality with Harvester v1.0.2 (some minor issues right now), modifying the default behaviour to create an opensuse VM instead of an ubuntu VM, solve some bugs, etc.
Github Repo for Harvester CLI: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli
Done in previous Hackweeks
- Create a Github actions pipeline to automatically integrate Harvester CLI to Homebrew repositories: DONE
- Automatically package Harvester CLI for OpenSUSE / Redhat RPMs or DEBs: DONE
Goal for this Hackweek
The goal for this Hackweek is to bring Harvester CLI up-to-speed with latest Harvester versions (v1.3.X and v1.4.X), and improve the code quality as well as implement some simple features and bug fixes.
Some nice additions might be: * Improve handling of namespaced objects * Add features, such as network management or Load Balancer creation ? * Add more unit tests and, why not, e2e tests * Improve CI * Improve the overall code quality * Test the program and create issues for it
Issue list is here: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli/issues
Resources
The project is written in Go, and using client-go the Kubernetes Go Client libraries to communicate with the Harvester API (which is Kubernetes in fact).
Welcome contributions are:
- Testing it and creating issues
- Documentation
- Go code improvement
