During Hack Week 7 I worked on an archive of Qt-based libraries. The goal was to easily make all available Qt libraries accessible to developers. Think CPAN for Qt. So I hacked on a web site and a command line client.

Finish extension for server side history for jabberd2 server and create a simple webui to browse it using tntnet. Part of the project is to learn to use tntnet toolkit, other part is to have server side history.

I have cloned the classic Snake game in my spare time recently to learn about dynamic memory allocation and pointer stuff in C++.

This is about porting the old KDE 3 based KDirstat to the latest Qt 5. KDirStat didn't use that much KDE infrastructure to begin with, and KDE seems to be more and more a moving target.

The goal of this project is to write a proof of concept of a new philosophy for yast2-storage-ng. Instead of just extending the API offered by libstorage-ng, the idea is wrap libstorage-ng so the Ruby code using yast2-storage-ng does not have direct visibility (unless explicitly desired) on the libstorage-ng classes and methods.

Currently we use openQA for the the YaST integration tests. It runs YaST in a VM and controls it via emulating keyboard input. The result is checked by comparing the screenshots.

Just for Fun!

Basically $topic, as of the latest release of ceph, we have some not so trivial support to pull off something like this at least for metadata, need to see if data sync is also permitted, and then probably hook it to sync to AWS itself

Firebird Emu is a third-party multi-platform emulator of the ARM-based TI-Nspire™ calculators.

Hackweek 18 Update

There are a couple of interesting initiatives that make the openSUSE project interesting for SMB, such as

Seastar is an advanced, open-source C++ framework for high-performance server applications on modern hardware. Seastar is used in Scylla, a high-performance NoSQL database compatible with Apache Cassandra Ceph community is currently working on migration to this project as well.

This is a task to update current WSL-Launcher (which can be already buildt in OBS) with latest-greatest upstream code https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL-DistroLauncher

During the previous Hackweek [0], I have successfully implemented, tested and merged [1] an implementation of the entire C++ standard header . This time, my aim is to modernize the C++14-esque standard library [2] of HelenOS [3][4] with a C++17 feature - the header. The header is much larger than the header which I barely managed to implement and test in the allocated time for the previous Hackweek, but was mostly OS-independent as it relied only on previously implemented features of the standard library. The header, however, is limited by the filesystem API of the OS and as such implementing of the entirety of it might not be possible, limiting the scope of the project (which is a good thing due to the time constraints).

transactional-update, the application to update read-only systems such as openSUSE MicroOS and openSUSE Kubic and the Transactional Server installations of openSUSE Leap, openSUSE Tumbleweed and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, evolved from a POC to a fully fledged solution - and is currently completely written in Bash. This has been working really well in the past, but is gradually reaching its limits, especially when thinking about supporting additional file systems or ports to other Linux distributions - yes, we have a huge interest in other distributions adopting our technology.

Currently AWS uses a SMT solver to decide on public/non-public policies https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/protect-sensitive-data-in-the-cloud-with-automated-reasoning-zelkova/

Let's pick some old classic game, reverse engineer the data formats and game rules and write an open source engine for it from scratch. Some games from 1990s are simple enough that we could have a playable prototype by the end of the week.
