Project Description
The Entity Component System is Data-driven architectural pattern, using composition over inheritance (contrary to Object Oriented programming). It is used in complex systems such as simulators, games, and Fintech; where the projects specify an array of complex systems that are loosely coupled. Projects where one needs to horizontally expand and change the behavior of a small subset of systems knowing that there will be no unwanted behavioral change carried to others, while at the same time provide a way to expand functionality that can be reused by a big number of the systems.
A Flight Dynamic Model is a physics model for a flying object such as a plane. These models are present in flight simulators and games, and vary in accuracy and complexity: from simulating simple forces over a specificied wing area, using graphs from real wind tunnel experiments, to performing a virtual real-time wind tunnel against the shape of the aircraft, simulating propeller wash, ground effect, vortex effect, and others.
eXtended Position Based Dynamics is a novel approach (2020) to simulating physics that is both more performant and accurate than typical approaches.
Goal for this Hackweek
Implement the Flight Dynamic Model specified in "Physics for Game Developers, by Bryan Bywalec, David M Bourg", in an ECS. Particularly:
In the Bevy Engine. A performant and very ergonomic ECS engine, that provides massive parallelization for free, with a cache-friendly architecture for the resulting code.
Using bevy_xpbd: A physics library using the novel eXtended Position Based Dynamics, available for Bevy. XPBD is both more performant and accurate than other physics approaches. In addition, it supports variable time deltas, which could allow to simulate and reconcile the state of the world in a concurrent, desynchronized way.

Arcticwolf - A rust based user space NFS server by vcheng
Description
Rust has similar performance to C. Also, have a better async IO module and high integration with io_uring. This project aims to develop a user-space NFS server based on Rust.
Goals
- Get an understanding of how cargo works
- Get an understanding of how XDR was generated with xdrgen
- Create the RUST-based NFS server that supports basic operations like mount/readdir/read/write
Result (2025 Hackweek)

OpenPlatform Self-Service Portal by tmuntan1
Description
In SUSE IT, we developed an internal developer platform for our engineers using SUSE technologies such as RKE2, SUSE Virtualization, and Rancher. While it works well for our existing users, the onboarding process could be better.
To improve our customer experience, I would like to build a self-service portal to make it easy for people to accomplish common actions. To get started, I would have the portal create Jira SD tickets for our customers to have better information in our tickets, but eventually I want to add automation to reduce our workload.
Goals
- Build a frontend website (Angular) that helps customers create Jira SD tickets.
- Build a backend (Rust with Axum) for the backend, which would do all the hard work for the frontend.

Learn how to use the Relm4 Rust GUI crate by xiaoguang_wang
Relm4 is based on gtk4-rs and compatible with libadwaita. The gtk4-rs crate provides all the tools necessary to develop applications. Building on this foundation, Relm4 makes developing more idiomatic, simpler, and faster.

Build a terminal user-interface (TUI) for Agama by IGonzalezSosa
Description
Officially, Agama offers two different user interfaces. On the one hand, we have the web-based interface, which is the one you see when you run the installation media. On the other hand, we have a command-line interface. In both cases, you can use them using a remote system, either using a browser or the agama CLI.
We would expect most of the cases to be covered by this approach. However, if you cannot use the web-based interface and, for some reason, you cannot access the system through the network, your only option is to use the CLI. This interface offers a mechanism to modify Agama's configuration using an editor (vim, by default), but perhaps you might want to have a more user-friendly way.
Goals
The main goal of this project is to built a minimal terminal user-interface for Agama. This interface will allow the user to install the system providing just a few settings (selecting a product, a storage device and a user password). Then it should report the installation progress.

Conclusions
We have summarized our conclusions in a pull request. It includes screenshots ;-) We did not implement all the features we wanted, but we learn a lot during the process. We know that, if needed, we could write a TUI for Agama and we have an idea about how to build it. Good enough.
Exploring Rust's potential: from basics to security by sferracci
Description
This project aims to conduct a focused investigation and practical application of the Rust programming language, with a specific emphasis on its security model. A key component will be identifying and understanding the most common vulnerabilities that can be found in Rust code.
Goals
Achieve a beginner/intermediate level of proficiency in writing Rust code. This will be measured by trying to solve LeetCode problems focusing on common data structures and algorithms. Study Rust vulnerabilities and learning best practices to avoid them.
