    Write a shell extension for GNOME by tdz

    Description

    I usually do kernel and systems programming. This project is about learning more about the userspace and application side. Writing an extension to gnome-shell seems like a good place to start. The GNOME shell is scriptable via JavaScript and a number of such extension is available from upstream.

    On X11, there used to be a toy rsp. screensaver called XPenguins. After the desktop being idle for some time, it sent penguins falling down the screen and walking along window borders. It doesn't work any longer with Wayland-based compositing, but re-implementing it as extension for the GNOME shell might be possible. There already existed a port around a decade ago that could serve as starting point.

    Goals

    • Learn about how shell extensions work and how to write one
    • See if XPenguins can be converted
    • If successful, try to upstream the result

    New openSUSE-welcome by lkocman

    Project Description

    Let's revisit our existing openSUSE welcome app.

    My goal was to show Leap 16 in a new coat. Welcome app adds to the first time use experience. We've recently added donation button to our existing welcome.

    Some things that I recently wanted to address were EOL and possibly upgrade notification.

    I've already done some experiments with mint welcome app, but not sure if it's better than the existing one.

    There is also a PR to rework existing app https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-welcome/pull/36 (this should be considered as an option too)

    Goal for this Hackweek

    New welcome app, possibly with EOL notification for Leap.

    1) Welcome application(s) with (rebrand changes) maintained under github.com/openSUSE

    2) Application is submitted to openSUSE:Factory && openSUSE:Leap:16.0

    3) Updated needles in openQA (probably post hackweek)
