Project Description
Do you need to record podcasts or interviews remotely?
Do you need to record each track separately?
Do you need to edit each track individually?
This project is for you.
I have a need to record a video conference call locally, to capture good audio and video quality. Each video/audio track is recorded individually on the participant's browser, with no additional software. In the end, the participant can upload his audio/video to dropbox/gdrive, etc.
Goal for this Hackweek
Learn how to record audio/video directly in the browser.
Create a demo page capable of recording your webcam.
Create a demo service where you can share the URL and host a conference call.
Resources
This tool is basically Zencastr or Riverside.fm, but open source. These tools are good and they work fine, but I can't host my own as they are not FOSS.
Jitsi does not solve the problem as it's recording on the server-side only.
Until now, I have not found any FOSS tool that does this.
This project could be a potential library/plugin to be integrated with Jitsi.
Looking for hackers with the skills:

I explored WebRTC half a year ago. Got to a point where I could record audio from a USB device, and send that via WebMidi as a system exclusive message to a sample player. Haven't used this for long, though, because I have since upgraded to a sampler. The code is here, if it helps anyone: github.com/mlnoga/underpass

Jenny Static Site Generator by adam.pickering
Description
For my personal site I have been using hugo. It works, but I am not satisfied: every time I want to make a change (which is infrequently) I have to read through the documentation again to understand how hugo works. I don't find the documentation easy to use, and the structure of the repository that hugo requires is unintuitive/more complex than what I need. So, I have decided to write my own simple static site generator in Go. It is named Jenny, after my wife.
Goals
- Pages can be written in markdown (which is automatically converted to HTML), but other file types are also allowed
- Easy to understand and use
- Intuitive, simple design
- Clear documentation
- Hot reloading
- Binaries provided for download
- Future maintenance is easy
- Automated releases

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.
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.
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.
Agama installer on-line demo by lslezak
Description
The Agama installer provides a quite complex user interface. We have some screenshots on the web page but as it is basically a web application it would be nice to have some on-line demo where users could click and check it live.
The problem is that the Agama server directly accesses the hardware (storage probing) and loads installation repositories. We cannot easily mock this in the on-line demo so the easiest way is to have just a read-only demo. You could explore the configuration options but you could not change anything, all changes would be ignored.
The read-only demo would be a bit limited but I still think it would be useful for potential users get the feeling of the new Agama installer and get familiar with it before using in a real installation.
As a proof of concept I already created this on-line demo.
The implementation basically builds Agama in two modes - recording mode where it saves all REST API responses and replay mode where it for the REST API requests returns the previously recorded responses. Recording in the browser is inconvenient and error prone, there should be some scripting instead (see below).
Goals
- Create an Agama on-line demo which can be easily tested by users
- The Agama installer is still in alpha phase and in active development, the online demo needs to be easily rebuilt with the latest Agama version
- Ideally there should be some automation so the demo page is rebuilt automatically without any developer interactions (once a day or week?)
TODO
- Use OpenAPI to get all Agama REST API endpoints, write a script which queries all the endpoints automatically and saves the collected data to a file (see this related PR).
- Write a script for starting an Agama VM (use libvirt/qemu?), the script should ensure we always use the same virtual HW so if we need to dump the latest REST API state we get the same (or very similar data). This should ensure the demo page does not change much regarding the storage proposal etc...
- Fix changing the product, currently it gets stuck after clicking the "Select" button.
- Move the mocking data (the recorded REST API responses) outside the Agama sources, it's too big and will be probably often updated. To avoid messing the history keep it in a separate GitHub repository
- Allow changing the UI language
- Display some note (watermark) in the page so it is clear it is a read-only demo (probably with some version or build date to know how old it is)
- Automation for building new demo page from the latest sources. There should be some check which ensures the recorded data still matches the OpenAPI specification.
Changing the UI language
This will be quite tricky because selecting the proper translation file is done on the server side. We would probably need to completely re-implement the logic in the browser side and adapt the server for that.
Also some REST API responses contain translated texts (storage proposal, pattern names in software). We would need to query the respective endpoints in all supported languages and return the correct response in runtime according to the currently selected language.

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

Update my own python audio and video time-lapse and motion capture apps and publish by dmair
Project Description
Many years ago, in my own time, I wrote a Qt python application to periodically capture frames from a V4L2 video device (e.g. a webcam) and used it to create daily weather timelapse videos from windows at my home. I have maintained it at home in my own time and this year have added motion detection making it a functional video security tool but with no guarantees. I also wrote a linux audio monitoring app in python using Qt in my own time that captures live signal strength along with 24 hour history of audio signal level/range and audio spectrum. I recently added background noise filtering to the app. In due course I aim to include voice detection, currently I'm assuming via Google's public audio interface. Neither of these is a professional home security app but between them they permit a user to freely monitor video and audio data from a home in a manageable way. Both projects are on github but out-of-date with personal work, I would like to organize and update the github versions of these projects.
Goal for this Hackweek
It would probably help to migrate all the v4l2py module based video code to linuxpy.video based code and that looks like a re-write of large areas of the video code. It would also be good to remove a lot of python lint that is several years old to improve the projects with the main goal being to push the recent changes with better organized code to github. If there is enough time I'd like to take the in-line Qt QSettings persistent state code used per-app and write a python class that encapsulates the Qt QSettings class in a value_of(name)/name=value manner for shared use in projects so that persistent state can be accessed read or write anywhere within the apps using a simple interface.

I'm not specifically looking for help but welcome other input.
