Hack the Hack Week tool
This project is about advancing the tool you're currently browsing.
It got started back in Hack Week 9 to retire all the weird tools we've used in the past to track ideas. As you can see it has gone far but is still far from done. There are lots of features missing and bugs to be fixed on github. Get going!
This project is part of:
Hack Week 10 Hack Week 11 Hack Week 12 Hack Week 13 Hack Week 14 Hack Week 15 Hack Week 17

With other groups in the company adopting the hackweek tool as well ( MF hackweek ), this becomes more important than ever!

Already started (I'm @purp on Github but couldn't seem to get that username here). Love that this is project ID 1. =]
Meanwhile, I have a specific project for adding URLs to projects (and probably users, too =).

Recipes catalog and calculator in Rails 8 by gfilippetti
My wife needs a website to catalog and sell the products of her upcoming bakery, and I need to learn and practice modern Rails. So I'm using this Hack Week to build a modern store using the latest Ruby on Rails best practices, ideally up to the deployment.
TO DO
- Index page
- Product page
- Admin area -- Supplies calculator based on orders -- Orders notification
- Authentication
- Payment
- Deployment
Day 1
As my Rails knowledge was pretty outdated and I had 0 experience with Turbo (wich I want to use in the app), I started following a turbo-rails course. I completed 5 of 11 chapters.
Day 2
Continued the course until chapter 8 and added live updates & an empty state to the app. I should finish the course on day 3 and start my own project with the knowledge from it.
Hackweek 24
For this Hackweek I'll continue this project, focusing on a Catalog/Calculator for my wife's recipes so she can use for her Café.

RMT.rs: High-Performance Registration Path for RMT using Rust by gbasso
Description
The SUSE Repository Mirroring Tool (RMT) is a critical component for managing software updates and subscriptions, especially for our Public Cloud Team (PCT). In a cloud environment, hundreds or even thousands of new SUSE instances (VPS/EC2) can be provisioned simultaneously. Each new instance attempts to register against an RMT server, creating a "thundering herd" scenario.
We have observed that the current RMT server, written in Ruby, faces performance issues under this high-concurrency registration load. This can lead to request overhead, slow registration times, and outright registration failures, delaying the readiness of new cloud instances.
This Hackweek project aims to explore a solution by re-implementing the performance-critical registration path in Rust. The goal is to leverage Rust's high performance, memory safety, and first-class concurrency handling to create an alternative registration endpoint that is fast, reliable, and can gracefully manage massive, simultaneous request spikes.
The new Rust module will be integrated into the existing RMT Ruby application, allowing us to directly compare the performance of both implementations.
Goals
The primary objective is to build and benchmark a high-performance Rust-based alternative for the RMT server registration endpoint.
Key goals for the week:
- Analyze & Identify: Dive into the
SUSE/rmtRuby codebase to identify and map out the exact critical path for server registration (e.g., controllers, services, database interactions). - Develop in Rust: Implement a functionally equivalent version of this registration logic in Rust.
- Integrate: Explore and implement a method for Ruby/Rust integration to "hot-wire" the new Rust module into the RMT application. This may involve using FFI, or libraries like
rb-sysormagnus. - Benchmark: Create a benchmarking script (e.g., using
k6,ab, or a custom tool) that simulates the high-concurrency registration load from thousands of clients. - Compare & Present: Conduct a comparative performance analysis (requests per second, latency, success/error rates, CPU/memory usage) between the original Ruby path and the new Rust path. The deliverable will be this data and a summary of the findings.

Kudos aka openSUSE Recognition Platform by lkocman
Description
I started the Kudos application shortly after Leap 16.0 to create a simple, friendly way to recognize people for their work and contributions to openSUSE. There’s so much more to our community than just submitting requests in OBS or gitea we have translations (not only in Weblate), wiki edits, forum and social media moderation, infrastructure maintenance, booth participation, talks, manual testing, openQA test suites, and more!
Goals
Kudos under github.com/openSUSE/kudos with build previews aka netlify
Have a kudos.opensuse.org instance running in production
Build an easy-to-contribute recognition platform for the openSUSE communit a place where everyone can send and receive appreciation for their work, across all areas of contribution.
In the future, we could even explore reward options such as vouchers for t-shirts or other community swag, small tokens of appreciation to make recognition more tangible.
