openSUSE Leap release process improvements
Goal:
I'd like to have the release process defined in markdown/git and use it as a source for process creation in redmine.
openSUSE Leap Release process definition currently lives inside redmine, from where we copy it from release to release via the integrated copy/clone functionality.
The plan is to create it directly from Git and benefit from issues/pull request for the coordinated process improvements. The Tool which SLE uses to create Jira from Markdown is here https://github.com/opensuse/md2workflow, so we essentially need to add just the redmine support.
Reasoning I have really good experience with co-operating within larger team on the process improvement via gitlab/issues and I believe that opensuse would benefit from it as well. We'd set some standards such as "Definition of Done" for the task (when the task can be resolved). I also believe that this would bring more transparency in between community and Release Management.
The benefits were clear, process is more and more follow-able by everyone within the team and task instructions. Set and enforce some process standards via git hooks/github ci, e.g. every task needs to self-contain definition of done. And it could be easy to unify some process steps between leap and SLE.

Just a brainstorm github.com/opensuse/how-to-release sounds more sexy than /opensuse-release-process which is otherwise more accourate

I disagree : ) opensuse-release-process is simpler and more accurate therefore more sexy ; )

I've just created https://github.com/openSUSE/md2workflow/tree/hackweek19
People who want to help can check https://github.com/openSUSE/md2workflow/issues/11 which is a task to support redmine. We essentially want to replicate md2workflow/backend/jirabackend.py but for redmine (including task depedencies and so on). I could use a help on this one as long as people are willing to write some basic tests as well.

https://github.com/openSUSE/md2workflow/issues/16 Was resolved. This unblocks bunch of other tasks. You can now export redmine to markdown (example is the attached single-dump.txt to the Issue 16).
First task for myself is to replace initial tree with the output from lkocman@deadrat:~/Workspace/md2workflow> bin/redmine2md ~/Workspace/opensuse/openSUSE-release-process/redmine-export-openSUSE-Leap-15.220200205.csv
Fortunately we can use --target-version to e.g. Chose only tasks for Alpha and dump them to the file and so on. I expect also a lot of issues without Target version set, so these will require manual placement to e.g. unsorted.md This will unblock more tasks in openSUSE-release-process
What I'd really appreciate as a help is to create a simple ical integration. https://github.com/openSUSE/md2workflow/issues/17 This might be as easy as adding markdown variables (Start date: YYYY-MMDD, Due Date: YYYY-MMDD and Schedule item: MATCHING NAME from .ical) and simply be able to pair these with values from .ical file which could be passed as an argument to bin/md2worflow --env local (--ical-file FILE) example/my_project.conf

Initial import is done! This unblocks whole bunch of tasks for
Just out of curiousity I did try to import openSUSE Leap 15.2 instructions to JIRA to see how it would look like. Fortunately there were no issues/errors raised during creation.

Just a tip for testing api by using a ad-hoc container running redmine instance https://hub.docker.com/_/redmine ` sudo docker pull redmine sudo docker run --name hackweek19-redmine redmine sudo docker inspect hackweek19-redmine | grep '"IPAddress":' "IPAddress": "172.17.0.2",
grep redmine /etc/hosts 172.17.0.2 redmine-local `

So I have the local redmine creation done. However I figured out that you can't create the entire stack of layers by yourself as redmine api does not support adding Tracker. It supports only .get() for this Resource.
Therefore I can create project -> subproject -> targetversion -> (NOT tracker) -> task -> subtask Reansonable sounds to have setup of Project and Subproject in advance together with tracker. While targetversion, task subtask gets created by the tool. https://python-redmine.com/resources/tracker.html

I think I'm 80 percent done with coding part. Just small correction in issue relations and schedule integration. That would be topic for tomorrow.
Last code is available here https://github.com/openSUSE/md2workflow/pull/22 and https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/tree/hackweek19

Create openSUSE images for Arm/RISC-V boards by avicenzi
Project Description
Create openSUSE images (or test generic EFI images) for Arm and/or RISC-V boards that are not yet supported.
Goal for this Hackweek
Create bootable images of Tumbleweed for SBCs that currently have no images available or are untested.
Consider generic EFI images where possible, as some boards can hold a bootloader.
Document in the openSUSE Wiki how to flash and use the image for a given board.

Improve/rework household chore tracker `chorazon` by gniebler
Description
I wrote a household chore tracker named chorazon, which is meant to be deployed as a web application in the household's local network.
It features the ability to set up different (so far only weekly) schedules per task and per person, where tasks may span several days.
There are "tokens", which can be collected by users. Tasks can (and usually will) have rewards configured where they yield a certain amount of tokens. The idea is that they can later be redeemed for (surprise) gifts, but this is not implemented yet. (So right now one needs to edit the DB manually to subtract tokens when they're redeemed.)
Days are not rolled over automatically, to allow for task completion control.
We used it in my household for several months, with mixed success. There are many limitations in the system that would warrant a revisit.
It's written using the Pyramid Python framework with URL traversal, ZODB as the data store and Web Components for the frontend.
Goals
- Add admin screens for users, tasks and schedules
- Add models, pages etc. to allow redeeming tokens for gifts/surprises
- …?

Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil
Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek
Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!
Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.
For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.
No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)
The idea is testing Salt and Salt-ssh clients, but NOT traditional clients, which are deprecated.
To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):
- Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
- Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
- Package management (install, remove, update...)
- Patching
- Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
- Salt remote commands
- Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
- Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
- Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
- Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)
If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)
- If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
- If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.
This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

Bring to Cockpit + System Roles capabilities from YAST by miguelpc
Bring to Cockpit + System Roles features from YAST
Cockpit and System Roles have been added to SLES 16 There are several capabilities in YAST that are not yet present in Cockpit and System Roles We will follow the principle of "automate first, UI later" being System Roles the automation component and Cockpit the UI one.
Goals
The idea is to implement service configuration in System Roles and then add an UI to manage these in Cockpit. For some capabilities it will be required to have an specific Cockpit Module as they will interact with a reasource already configured.
Resources
A plan on capabilities missing and suggested implementation is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhX-Ip9MKJNeKSYV3bSZG4Qc5giuY7XSV0U61Ecu9lo/edit

Enhance git-sha-verify: A tool to checkout validated git hashes by gpathak
Description
git-sha-verify is a simple shell utility to verify and checkout trusted git commits signed using GPG key. This tool helps ensure that only authorized or validated commit hashes are checked out from a git repository, supporting better code integrity and security within the workflow.
Supports:
- Verifying commit authenticity signed using gpg key
- Checking out trusted commits
Ideal for teams and projects where the integrity of git history is crucial.
Goals
A minimal python code of the shell script exists as a pull request.
The goal of this hackweek is to:
- Add more unit tests
- Make the python code modular
- Add code coverage if possible
