Project Description

Many years back I created a simple python based CLI package that wrapped the NWS API to get weather forecasts, discussions and current conditions. Meanwhile I have not had time to keep it up-to-date so many pieces are broken or using deprecated features of the REST API. The package is useful to get weather information much quicker from CLI than clicking through the NWS website.

Goal for this Hackweek

The goal for this project is update and fix the package as well as add new features. Also, the documentation can be updated to be more thorough and useful.

    Symbol Relations by hli

    Description

    There are tools to build function call graphs based on parsing source code, for example, cscope.

    This project aims to achieve a similar goal by directly parsing the disasembly (i.e. objdump) of a compiled binary. The assembly code is what the CPU sees, therefore more "direct". This may be useful in certain scenarios, such as gdb/crash debugging.

    Detailed description and Demos can be found in the README file:

    Supports x86 for now (because my customers only use x86 machines), but support for other architectures can be added easily.

    Tested with python3.6

    Goals

    Any comments are welcome.

    Make more sense of openQA test results using AI by livdywan

    Description

    AI has the potential to help with something many of us spend a lot of time doing which is making sense of openQA logs when a job fails.

    User Story

    Allison Average has a puzzled look on their face while staring at log files that seem to make little sense. Is this a known issue, something completely new or maybe related to infrastructure changes?

    Goals

    • Leverage a chat interface to help Allison
    • Create a model from scratch based on data from openQA
    • Proof of concept for automated analysis of openQA test results

    Bonus

    • Use AI to suggest solutions to merge conflicts
      • This would need a merge conflict editor that can suggest solving the conflict
    • Use image recognition for needles

    Resources

    Timeline

    Day 1

    • Conversing with open-webui to teach me how to create a model based on openQA test results

    Day 2

    Highlights

    • I briefly tested compared models to see if they would make me more productive. Between llama, gemma and mistral there was no amazing difference in the results for my case.
    • Convincing the chat interface to produce code specific to my use case required very explicit instructions.
    • Asking for advice on how to use open-webui itself better was frustratingly unfruitful both in trivial and more advanced regards.
    • Documentation on source materials used by LLM's and tools for this purpose seems virtually non-existent - specifically if a logo can be generated based on particular licenses

    Outcomes

    • Chat interface-supported development is providing good starting points and open-webui being open source is more flexible than Gemini. Although currently some fancy features such as grounding and generated podcasts are missing.
    • Allison still has to be very experienced with openQA to use a chat interface for test review. Publicly available system prompts would make that easier, though.


    Team Hedgehogs' Data Observability Dashboard by gsamardzhiev

    Description

    This project aims to develop a comprehensive Data Observability Dashboard that provides r insights into key aspects of data quality and reliability. The dashboard will track:

    Data Freshness: Monitor when data was last updated and flag potential delays.

    Data Volume: Track table row counts to detect unexpected surges or drops in data.

    Data Distribution: Analyze data for null values, outliers, and anomalies to ensure accuracy.

    Data Schema: Track schema changes over time to prevent breaking changes.

    The dashboard's aim is to support historical tracking to support proactive data management and enhance data trust across the data function.

    Goals

    Although the final goal is to create a power bi dashboard that we are able to monitor, our goals is to 1. Create the necessary tables that track the relevant metadata about our current data 2. Automate the process so it runs in a timely manner

    Why Hedgehogs?

    Because we like them.


    Saline (state deployment control and monitoring tool for SUSE Manager/Uyuni) by vizhestkov

    Project Description

    Saline is an addition for salt used in SUSE Manager/Uyuni aimed to provide better control and visibility for states deploymend in the large scale environments.

    In current state the published version can be used only as a Prometheus exporter and missing some of the key features implemented in PoC (not published). Now it can provide metrics related to salt events and state apply process on the minions. But there is no control on this process implemented yet.

    Continue with implementation of the missing features and improve the existing implementation:

    • authentication (need to decide how it should be/or not related to salt auth)

    • web service providing the control of states deployment

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • Implement missing key features

    • Implement the tool for state deployment control with CLI

    Jenny Static Site Generator by adam.pickering

    Description

    For my personal site I have been using hugo. It works, but I am not satisfied: every time I want to make a change (which is infrequently) I have to read through the documentation again to understand how hugo works. I don't find the documentation easy to use, and the structure of the repository that hugo requires is unintuitive/more complex than what I need. So, I have decided to write my own simple static site generator in Go. It is named Jenny, after my wife.

    Goals

    • Pages can be written in markdown (which is automatically converted to HTML), but other file types are also allowed
    • Easy to understand and use
      • Intuitive, simple design
      • Clear documentation
      • Hot reloading
      • Binaries provided for download
    • Future maintenance is easy
      • Automated releases

    suse-rancher-supportconfig by eminguez

    Description

    Update: Live at https://github.com/e-minguez/suse-rancher-supportconfig I finally didn't used golang but used gum instead add-emoji

    SUSE's supportconfig support tool collects data from the SUSE Operating system. Rancher's rancher2_logs_collector.sh support tool does the same for RKE2/K3s.

    Wouldn't be nice to have a way to run both and collect all data for SUSE based RKE2/K3s clusters? Wouldn't be even better with a fancy TUI tool like bubbletea?

    Ideally the output should be an html page where you can see the logs/data directly from the browser.

    Goals

    • Familiarize myself with both supportconfig and rancher2_logs_collector.sh tools
    • Refresh my golang knowledge
    • Have something that works at the end of the hackweek ("works" may vary add-emoji )
    • Be better in naming things

    file-organizer: A CLI Tool for Efficient File Management by okhatavkar

    Description

    Create a Go-based CLI tool that helps organize files in a specified folder by sorting them into subdirectories based on defined criteria, such as file type or creation date. Users will pass a folder path as an argument, and the tool will process and organize the files within it.

    Goals

    • Develop Go skills by building a practical command-line application.
    • Learn to manage and manipulate files and directories in Go using standard libraries.
    • Create a tool that simplifies file management, making it easier to organize and maintain directories.

    Resources

    • Go Standard Libraries: Utilize os, filepath, and time for file operations.
    • CLI Development: Use flag for basic argument parsing or consider cobra for enhanced functionality.
    • Go Learning Material: Go by Example and The Go Programming Language Documentation.

    Features

    • File Type Sorting: Automatically move files into subdirectories based on their extensions (e.g., documents, images, videos).
    • Date-Based Organization: Add an option to organize files by creation date into year/month folders.
    • User-Friendly CLI: Build intuitive commands and clear outputs for ease of use. This version maintains the core idea of organizing files efficiently while focusing on Go development and practical file management.


    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
