During the last year Askbot, a question and answer oriented internet tool, similar to stack overflow has been tested for internal usage.

The testing went well and it was decided to use the tool in a larger scope.

Trying to prepare the tool for this we found that the source code under https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel is still Python 2 and not well maintained. As it is not even compatible with current openSUSE Leap 15 and we don't want to run it in some insecure not updatable container we decided after a short discussion that:

  1. Askbot would still be a very valuable tool for SUSE

  2. We want to have it

  3. The best solution to get this done is to port Askbot to Python 3

Aim of this Hackweek project would be to port Askbot to Python 3.

See https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/issues/772

Update!

Good news: We're getting help from upstream!

Looking for hackers with the skills:

    Update M2Crypto by mcepl

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

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • Put M2Crypto into better shape (most issues closed, all pull requests processed)
    • More fun to learn jujutsu
    • Play more with Gemini, how much it help (or not).
    • Perhaps, also (just slightly related), help to fix vis to work with LuaJIT, particularly to make vis-lspc working.


    Liz - Prompt autocomplete by ftorchia

    Description

    Liz is the Rancher AI assistant for cluster operations.

    Goals

    We want to help users when sending new messages to Liz, by adding an autocomplete feature to complete their requests based on the context.

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Can you show me the list of p"
    • Autocomplete suggestion: "Can you show me the list of p...od in local cluster?"

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Show me the logs of #rancher-"
    • Chat console: It shows a drop-down widget, next to the # character, with the list of available pod names starting with "rancher-".

    Technical Overview

    1. The AI agent should expose a new ws/autocomplete endpoint to proxy autocomplete messages to the LLM.
    2. The UI extension should be able to display prompt suggestions and allow users to apply the autocomplete to the Prompt via keyboard shortcuts.

    Improve chore and screen time doc generator script `wochenplaner` by gniebler

    Description

    I wrote a little Python script to generate PDF docs, which can be used to track daily chore completion and screen time usage for several people, with one page per person/week.

    I named this script wochenplaner and have been using it for a few months now.

    It needs some improvements and adjustments in how the screen time should be tracked and how chores are displayed.

    Goals

    • Fix chore field separation lines
    • Change screen time tracking logic from "global" (week-long) to daily subtraction and weekly addition of remainders (more intuitive than current "weekly time budget method)
    • Add logic to fill in chore fields/lines, ideally with pictures, falling back to text.

    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
