The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite to communicate between networks and devices.

www.opensuse.org is the single most accessed page in the SUSE/openSUSE universe. With 1.5 million visits per month it generates 2.5 million page views and has around 500 people on the page at any given time. Yet it's one of the oldest, crufty pages we have! It doesn't concentrate on what it should do: Tell people about the distro so they download it. It's design is 5 years old, it's not mobile, it's not accessible. There is absolutely no interactive, engaging content at all and the technology used goes as far as a shell script/cron to update dynamic content.

Those working remotely or managing a distributed team know it: face time is invaluable. The former openSUSE team has been using http://sqwiggle.com to keep in touch and Google hangout to hold a stand up meeting every morning. We like the Sqwiggle approach. Although the last updates have made it worse, the concept of having a peep to your colleagues' desks to know if they are there (even if they are working hard or just talking to someone) and the possibility of starting a video conversation just clicking on the face shot can do a lot in reducing distances (and in killing the temptation of working naked for home-officers).

openSUSE Connect is almost forgotten tool used only for elections. It would be nice to update it, polish it a little bit, disable functions that nobody uses and fix those few that people would actually like to use.

One of the winning factors of Docker is the Docker Hub. This the a place where the Docker community shares their images. Thanks to Docker's integrated build system it is possible to create new Docker images by just extending an existing one. That's why the Docker Hub is so useful.

We have some internal systems for videoconferencing like Big Blue Button or OpenMeetings. But in my experience none of them can compare to Google Hangouts, which is still the best free (as in free beer) alternative for videoconferencing with integrated screen sharing. While implementing an alternative to Sqwiggle on previous hackweek, I discovered Janus, a lightweight WebRTC gateway that proved to be a quite capable tool to implement video applications.

Based on the little-used HTML5 outline spec, investigate&implement an in-browser tool (currently a chrome extension or browser user script) to easily, interactively scrap a documentation web page into an 'index-content' map for (offline) searching. Motivated by the fact that most scrappers today are command line tools, too tech-savvy.

Taskotop is a tool to check what taskomatic is currently doing on a SUSE Manager server: it's a command line python tool. The core of the tool is to get some info about jobs that taskomatic is running with a fixed time cycle running some queries and showing results to the shell.

Overview

After an internal call for help to take over software.opensuse.org deployment, I spend some time studying the code in order to find out what would it mean to take it over. The main reason was a PR from the community that has not been merged, and deployment depending on internal SUSE employees.

Laitos is an open source project written in go, it emphasizes simplicity of maintenance and delivers a complete suite of web, DNS, and mail servers to host a personal web server. Beyond the suite of servers, laitos software hooks into numerous API platforms, that altogether enable user access to Internet features (such as Facebook, Twitter, emails) via alternative communication infrastructures such as telephone (PSTN), SMS, and satellite terminals. For added fun, laitos software enables nostalgic computer systems (such as Windows 98 and DOS) to access modern web by rendering web sites on laitos server, and provides web page interactions via text commands and screenshots.

There are customer use cases where sharing information via internet or uploading data somewhere is not acceptable for security reasons: this avoid the usage of some tool like the most famous Google Analytics, and prevent developers from understanding how the web application is used by the customers. I don't want to reinvent the wheel and re-implement a copy of Google Analytics, but getting inspired from it, the goal is to reuse information that we already have to extrapolate an analysis of the WebApp customer usage. I started this project with the aim of learning a programming language where I am not so comfortable yet (python). The purpose of this Hack Week project is to bring this basic tool at a minimal stable and usable state with the purpose of analyze the usage of a WebApp in scenarios where the WebApp is used in an internal network only (offline, disconnected from the internet).

Inspired by a conference talk I've attended a while ago (and my own struggles when trying to create something pretty basic just recently) I want to learn more about SVGs in general and their powers for modern web development in particular. Over the week, I want to

Project Description

Do you need to record podcasts or interviews remotely?

Project Description

I want for long time to get my hands dirty with go and webassembly. we have (openqa-mon)[https://github.com/grisu48/openqa-mon] which is a monitoring tool for OpenQA.

Project Description

Chimera is a Kubernetes policy engine. Its policies are WebAssembly modules, that can be published on regular OCI registries (same place where container images are pushed).

Project Description

A tool that may be a good place to start with a more modern UI for TC is https://cockpit-project.org/. This is being researched by the SUSE MicroOS development and now the YaST team. The TC/harness could be a module, that utilizes other SUSE modules. Cockpit has a web interface that can be accessed through any browser.

Project Description

There's Elixir for browsing mainline Linux releases. We should set up a similar system for SUSE kernel releases.

Project Description

In January, we announced the D-Installer project, an attempt to build a web-based installer on top of YaST and Cockpit. Since then, the codebase has grown significantly, especially the JavaScript part.

Problem

You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.

Project Description

After I start to do photography, I created a website as gallery to show my good photos (<https://gallery.alynx.one/&gt;), I don't want to host such a gallery on my own server because it's only some static images, and GitHub pages is perfect for it. But a easy to use way to submit photos and re-generate the webpage is needed. Currently I write a Telegram bot to do this, it is strange but useful, I don't need to write a whole CMS by hand, just listen to Telegram messages and call the render script.
