The idea is about an easy way to allow users to make upgrades (e.g.: changing from one major version like 15.0 to version 15.1) using a GUI and as easy as they can in Ubuntu. Something like a notification with a button to perform the upgrade with just one-click, instead of having to deal with the terminal, that frights some new users and gives them the sensation of an outdated system.

Let's pick some old classic game, reverse engineer the data formats and game rules and write an open source engine for it from scratch. Some games from 1990s are simple enough that we could have a playable prototype by the end of the week. Write which games you'd like to hack on in the comments. Don't forget to check e.g. on Open Source Game Clones, Github and SourceForge whether the game is ported already.

Hack Week 22

Project Description

Dochazka is a long-term project to replace the obsolete Attendance & Time Tracking system used by the Prague office since 2007. Dochazka is a complex system consisting of three major components: - RESTful backend App::Dochazka::REST (with lots of help from Web::MREST)

Project Description

When we experience a early boot crash, we are not able to analyze the kernel dump, as user-space wasn't able to load the crash system. The idea is to make the crash system compiled into the host kernel (think of initramfs) so that we can create a kernel dump really early in the boot process.

Project Description

Make use of the Studio Kiosk in front of my office:

Project Description

Aim

Often when we test maintenance updates or when we decide to push an update for a package we want to know what that change may cause. Right now it is really difficult to figure out what package depends on a given package.

Motivation

Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek

Sometimes you search for a package, and you don't find it because you're not typing it right. Of course there's regex support behind the scenes but it requires conscious effort to make use of.

Motivation

Project Description

Try container based openQA, including openQA webui, worker, postgres and etc. Setup complete openQA environment using various containers. I am expecting a more convenient way to deploy openQA service and, at the same time, migrate the service to another server.

Project Description

Currently openQA requires a reference image to be stored to do OCR based comparisons. It is not possible to pass a character string to openQA which should be compared to the text in the screenshot.

Project Description

Create a PoC for a modular packaged kernel. This means:

Project Description

supportconfig provides a lot of files and data from the system, but it is often hard to spot the real issue in it. The idea of this project is to get machine-readable output for the supportconfig data and analyze them, ideally with an existing tool.

Create a single-cycle 32-bit RISC-V Core in VHDL as a pure learning project. Why RISC-V? It is clean and small (the base has only about 40

Setup a patchew instance

patchew allows you to easily track patch series sent to a mailinglist and see the diff between the different series.

Learn the inner workings of TCP as implemented in the Linux kernel. This will involve * reading textbooks and IETF docs

Build a network of ("edge") humidity sensors using Raspberry Pis with SenseHats and additional cheaper sensors

For our house, I want to make sure I can track the effectiveness of regularly ventilating the rooms by adding humidity sensors and tracking the measurements over time.

Project Description

The Steam Deck is a portable gaming handheld built around platform technology similar to the one found in AMD mobile laptops. Vendor Valve ships a custom Linux distribution with downstream patches on this device, but booting into other distributions is possible. Connecting the Steam Deck to a dock can turn it into a compact workstation.

Project Description

Store the OS root-tree on a container storage. The idea is to build a minimal golang tool capable to init a container storage to a custom location, store remote OCI images in there and mount them into a custom mountpoint. Next step is to craft a dracut based initrd including such a tool to mount the OS at boot. Finally, craft a disk with an EFI partition including the kernel, initrd and systemd-boot.

The Go programming language is an open source language and very popular. Study the book content and try to practice some project examples in the book.

Project Description

Harvester CLI is a command line interface tool written in Go, designed to simplify interfacing with a Harvester cluster as a user. It is especially useful for testing purposes as you can easily and rapidly create VMs in Harvester by providing a simple command such as:

Project Description

I'd like to explore a very popular desktop Linux distribution from last year -- the Steam Deck OS. It is said to be immutable, so I hope to get some inspiration from it to help our ALP.

Project Description

Writing container definition files is boring and error-prone: let's use power of a programming language to generate containers!

Project Description

This project aims to build a unikernel that has a sole purpose: run WebAssembly applications.

Following up on the experiment from last Hackweek ( https://confluence.suse.com/display/~digitaltomm/Business+Intelligence+in+SCC ), it would be great having a production instance of Metabase running in the SCC EKS cluster, connected to the production database of SCC.

This is mostly a learning activity for myself, others may benefit from documentation.

Project Description

Project Description

Now that Uyuni proxy can be run as containers this project is about deploying it using Elemental and Fleet.

I have three hundred and eighty four openSUSE 12.1 DVDs. Given 12.1 went end of life almost ten years ago, it seems likely these DVDs are useless. Rather than toss them out I've decided to try to turn them into some form of art.

Project Description

Implement a proof-of-concept USB security key with support for encrypted data storage, U2F and FIDO2 (webauthn).

Project Description

Aldi was/is selling the Medion Life P4000 Smartwatch, which is currently only supported by Medion's proprietary Fitness Pro App. It would be great to add support for this Smartwatch to Gadgetbridge, so that it can be used on a Android Smartphone without proprietary apps.

Project Description

Legal reviews have been a quite painful part of our development process. The current situation in Factory waits for legaldb for a limited amount of time and simply proceeds further if the review is not "approved" within a few hours.

Project Description

Since now we have a system that take real time data from progress to generate metrics

There are couple of projects I work on, which need my attention and putting them to shape: * M2Crypto

Project Description

As part of the mojo.js project i want to port the Minion job queue from Perl to TypeScript and release it as an npm package. In the future this will allow parts of Mojolicious applications like openQA to be written in TypeScript/JavaScript (in addition to Perl).

Project Description

The intent of this Project is to create a website to allow the creation, posting, and sharing of Blog posts created by the Rancher QA Team. These posts will cover a broad level of subjects surrounding the Rancher space, and can be very high level walk throughs, very technical discussions, etc. This website is intended to be publicly available for viewing, and blogs will be targeted toward helping users, but contributors will only be internal.

Project Description

A kubernetes controller that spins a dev k3s cluster within your existing kubernetes cluster, the idea is derived from k3d but instead of using docker on the desktop machine to spin a k3s cluster, I will be using kubernetes itself as the host for these clusters.

Project Description

Immersive system to run interactive tutorials, hacking learning lessons or just games that integrates with your system. The main idea is to have an INK language engine to process the tutorial scripts and provide an interactive user interface to the user. The system should be able to listen to different Linux events (like filesystem changes, process is running, the current date, etc) and modify the tutorial state depending on that.

Project Description

Overall: Existing NFS-HA Consulting solution exists (for SLES15 SP1 and SP2+) and is in production at customers. Goal is to improve this solution, enhance the documentation and make it more robust.

Project Description

Base Linux is a new distribution developed from scratch. It aims to have the stricter packaging system, to be customizable and to work as a base for other Linux distributions in all kind of environments, from desktop to servers and embedded systems.

Project Description

Darktable is an open source RAW development tool that can run on Linux, its UI is based on GTK and supports many cameras. And Ansel (firstly called R-Darktable) is a fork by Aurélien PIERRE, who (as he claimed) is a core-dev and resident color science guy of Darktable.

Project Description

Uyuni is the upstream community project from which the very popular SUSE Manager is derived. It uses its own QE test suite wirtten in Cucumber and Ruby. Currently the Uyuni test suite runs with Ruby 2.5.9 which is EOL since 2021. This is because the most current Ruby version for openSUSE Leap 15.4, which the test suite controller runs on, is still Ruby 2.5.9. Updating the Ruby version allows us to modernize the test suite code base and to use more recent Ruby gems that do not support the old Ruby version anymore.

Project Description

Make a PDF parser command line tool that brings the Nuremberg Canteen's Menu to a usable format (Plain text, JSON) that can be used in WebApps, Smart Displays or a Slack/IRC Bots.
