Project Description
Go (or Golang) is an open-source programming language designed to build fast, reliable, and efficient software at scale. It is the language used to create Kubernetes, K3s, Rancher, and countless cloud-native applications. Let's learn Go by writing an application during the hack week!
Goal for this Hackweek
- Understand the syntax and grammars of Go
- Learn the advanced features of Go
- Get familiar with Go’s standard libraries/packages
- Write an application following this tutorial
Resources
There are tons of tutorials and articles on the internet, but not all of them are of high quality or up-to-date. If you know any article/book/tutorial that is good for a beginner, please do not hesitate to share them in the comments.
Here are some resources I will use to learn Go:
- https://www.udemy.com/course/go-the-complete-developers-guide
- https://github.com/quii/learn-go-with-tests
- https://gobyexample.com

OpenQA Golang api client by hilchev
Description
I would like to make a simple cli tool to communicate with the OpenQA API
Goals
- OpenQA has a ton of information that is hard to get via the UI. A tool like this would make my life easier :)
- Would potentially make it easier in the future to make UI changes without Perl.
- Improve my Golang skills

Contribute to terraform-provider-libvirt by pinvernizzi
Description
The SUSE Manager (SUMA) teams' main tool for infrastructure automation, Sumaform, largely relies on terraform-provider-libvirt. That provider is also widely used by other teams, both inside and outside SUSE.
It would be good to help the maintainers of this project and give back to the community around it, after all the amazing work that has been already done.
If you're interested in any of infrastructure automation, Terraform, virtualization, tooling development, Go (...) it is also a good chance to learn a bit about them all by putting your hands on an interesting, real-use-case and complex project.
Goals
- Get more familiar with Terraform provider development and libvirt bindings in Go
- Solve some issues and/or implement some features
- Get in touch with the community around the project
Resources
- CONTRIBUTING readme
- Go libvirt library in use by the project
- Terraform plugin development

Automate PR process by idplscalabrini
Description
This project is to streamline and enhance the pr review process by adding automation for identifying some issues like missing comments, identifying sensitive information in the PRs like credentials. etc. By leveraging GitHub Actions and golang hooks we can focus more on high-level reviews
Goals
- Automate lints and code validations on Github actions
- Automate code validation on hook
- Implement a bot to pre-review the PRs

Dartboard TUI by IValentin
Description
Our scalability and performance testing swiss-army knife tool Dartboard is a major WIP so why not add more scope creep? Dartboard is a cli tool which enables users to:
- Define a "Dart" config file as YAML which defines the various components to be created/setup when Dartboard runs its commands
- Spin up infrastructure utilizing opentofu/terraform providers
- Setup K3s or RKE2 clusters on the newly created infrastructure
- Deploy Rancher (with or without downstream cluster), rancher-monitoring (Grafana + Prometheus)
- Create resources in-bulk within the newly created Rancher cluster (ConfigMaps, Secrets, Users, Roles, etc.)
- Run various performance and scalability tests via k6
- Export/Import various tracked metrics (WIP)
Given all these features (and the features to come), it can be difficult to onboard and transfer knowledge of the tool. With a TUI, Dartboard's usage complexity can be greatly reduced!
Goals
- Create a TUI for Dartboard's "subcommands"
- Gain more familiarity with Dartboard and create a more user-friendly interface to enable others to use it
- Stretch Create a TUI workflow for generating a Dart file

WebUI for your data by avicenzi
A single place to view every bit of data you have.
Problem
You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.
- Family photos and videos.
- Lots of eBooks, TV Shows, Movies, and else.
- Boxes full of papers (taxes, invoices, IDs, certificates, exams, and else).
- Bank account statements (multiple currencies, countries, and people).
Maybe you have some data on S3, some on your NAS, and some on your local PC.
- How do you get it all together?
- How do you link a bank transaction to a product invoice?
- How to tag any object type and create a collection out of it (mix videos, photos, PDFs, transactions)?
- How to store this? file/folder structure does not work, everything is linked together
Project Description
The idea is a place where you can throw all your data, photos, videos, documents, binaries, and else.
Create photo albums, document collections, add tags across multiple file-formats, link content, and else.
The UI should be easy to use, where the data is not important for now (could be all S3 or local drive).
Similar proposals
The closest I found so far is https://perkeep.org/, but this is not what I'm looking for.
Goal for this Hackweek
Create a web UI, in Svelte ideally, perhaps React.
It should be able to show photos and videos at least.
Resources
None so far, this is just an idea.
Hack on rich terminal user interfaces by amanzini
Description
TUIs (Textual User Interface) are a big classic of our daily workflow. Many linux users 'live' in the terminal and modern implementations have a lot to offer : unicode fonts, 24 bit colors etc.
Goals
- Explore the current available solution on modern languages and implement a PoC , for example a small maze generator, porting of a classic game or just display the HackWeek cute logo.
- Practice some Go / Rust coding and programming patterns
- Fiddle around, hack, learn, have fun
- keep a development diary, practice on project documentation
Follow this link for source code repository
- includes development diary

FamilyTrip Planner: A Personalized Travel Planning Platform for Families by pherranz
Description
FamilyTrip Planner is an innovative travel planning application designed to optimize travel experiences for families with children. By integrating APIs for flights, accommodations, and local activities, the app generates complete itineraries tailored to each family’s unique interests and needs. Recommendations are based on customizable parameters such as destination, trip duration, children’s ages, and personal preferences. FamilyTrip Planner not only simplifies the travel planning process but also offers a comprehensive, personalized experience for families.
Goals
This project aims to: - Create a user-friendly platform that assists families in planning complete trips, from flight and accommodation options to recommended family-friendly activities. - Provide intelligent, personalized travel itineraries using artificial intelligence to enhance travel enjoyment and minimize time and cost. - Serve as an educational project for exploring Go programming and artificial intelligence, with the goal of building proficiency in both.
Resources
To develop FamilyTrip Planner, the project will leverage: - APIs such as Skyscanner, Google Places, and TripAdvisor to source real-time information on flights, accommodations, and activities. - Go programming language to manage data integration, API connections, and backend development. - Basic machine learning libraries to implement AI-driven itinerary suggestions tailored to family needs and preferences.

Cluster API Add-on Provider for Kubewarden by csalas
Description
Can we integrate Kubewarden with Cluster API provisioning?
Cluster API is a Kubernetes project focused on providing declarative APIs and tooling to simplify provisioning, upgrading, and operating multiple Kubernetes clusters. TLDR; CAPI let's you define Kubernetes clusters in plain YAML, and CAPI providers (infrastructure, control plane/bootstrap, etc.) manage provisioning and configuration for you.
What if we could create an add-on provider that automatically installs Kubewarden and deploys Policy Servers to CAPI clusters?
Goals
- As a user I'd like to set a cluster (or list of clusters) and have the provider install Kubewarden for me.
- As a user I'd like to set what policies must be enforced for a cluster (or list of clusters).
Resources
- Cluster API: https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/
