Project Description
We are currently at GHC-9.4.x, which a bit old. So I'd like to take a shot at the latest version of the compiler, GHC-9.6.x. This is gonna be interesting because the new version requires major updates to all kinds of libraries and base packages, which typically means patching lots of packages to make them build again. A significant part of the development effort will be live-streamed on Twitch so that others can collaborate easily.
Goal for this Hackweek
Have working builds of GHC-9.6.x and the required Haskell packages in 'devel:languages:haskell` so that we can compile:
git-annex
pandoc
xmonad
cabal-install

New migration tool for Leap by lkocman
Update
I will call a meeting with other interested people at 11:00 CET https://meet.opensuse.org/migrationtool
Description
SLES 16 plans to have no yast tool in it. Leap 16 might keep some bits, however, we need a new tool for Leap to SLES migration, as this was previously handled by a yast2-migration-sle
Goals
A tool able to migrate Leap 16 to SLES 16, I would like to cover also other scenarios within openSUSE, as in many cases users would have to edit repository files manually.
- Leap -> Leap n+1 (minor and major version updates)
- Leap -> SLES docs
- Leap -> Tumbleweed
- Leap -> Slowroll
- Leap Micro -> Leap Micro n+1 (minor and major version updates)
- Leap Micro -> MicroOS
Hackweek 24 update
Marcela and I were working on the project from Brno coworking as well as finalizing pieces after the hackweek. We've tested several migration scenarios and it works. But it needs further polishing and testing.
Projected was renamed to opensuse-migration-tool and was submitted to devel project https://build.opensuse.org/requests/1227281
Repository
https://github.com/openSUSE/opensuse-migration-tool
Out of scope is any migration to an immutable system. I know Richard already has some tool for that.

Digital art wallpapers for openSUSE Leap and Tumbleweed by lkocman
Description
We've enrolled set of new wallpapers to both Leap 16 and Tumbleweed as part of https://news.opensuse.org/2024/10/26/leap-tw-get-makeovers/
We've previewed digital art wallpapers which were not part of the initial drop. I'd like to spend time on hackweek to finialize my current Taipei (mountains) and Mauritius digital art wallpapers.
Goals
Finalize existing two digital art wallpapers for Leap and Tumbleweed https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/issues/155 Make them available as part of leap16 dir in https://github.com/openSUSE/wallpapers and update (This makes is available to Tumbleweed users as well). Update https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:common:Factory/wallpapers-openSUSE-extra && Leap:16.0 && Factory.

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.
Boards that I have around and there are no images:
- Rock 3B
- Nano PC T3 Plus
- Lichee RV D1
- StartFive VisionFive (has some image needs testing)

New openSUSE-welcome by lkocman
Project Description
Let's revisit our existing openSUSE welcome app.
My goal was to show Leap 16 in a new coat. Welcome app adds to the first time use experience. We've recently added donation button to our existing welcome.
Some things that I recently wanted to address were EOL and possibly upgrade notification.
I've already done some experiments with mint welcome app, but not sure if it's better than the existing one.
There is also a PR to rework existing app https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-welcome/pull/36 (this should be considered as an option too)
Goal for this Hackweek
New welcome app, possibly with EOL notification for Leap.
1) Welcome application(s) with (rebrand changes) maintained under github.com/openSUSE
2) Application is submitted to openSUSE:Factory && openSUSE:Leap:16.0
3) Updated needles in openQA (probably post hackweek)

Tumbleweed on Mars-CM (RISC-V board) by ph03nix
RISC-V is awesome, Tumbleweed is awesome, chocolate cake is awesome. I'm planning to combine all of them in one project.
Project Description
I recently purchased a MILK-V Mars CM and managed to setup it up already using Debian Linux. My project for this Hackweek is to see how far I can get to run Tumbleweed on this compute module board.
Goal for this Hackweek
- Run Tumbleweed on the Compute Module

Framework laptop integration by nkrapp
Project Description
Although openSUSE does run on the Framework laptops out-of-the-box, there is still room to improve the experience. The ultimate goal is to get openSUSE on the list of community supported distros
Goal for this Hackweek
The goal this year is to at least package all of the soft- and firmware for accessories like the embedded controller, Framework 16 inputmodule and other tools. I already made some progress by packaging the inputmodule control software, but the firmware is still missing
Resources
As I only have a Framework laptop 16 and not a 13 I'm looking for people with hardware that can help me test
Progress:
Update 1:
The project lives under my home for now until I can get an independent project on OBS: Framework Laptop project
Also, the first package is already done, it's the cli for the led-matrix spacer module on the Framework Laptop 16. I am also testing this myself, but any feedback or questions are welcome.
You can test the package on the Framework 16 by adding this repo and installing the package inputmodule-control
Update 2:
I finished packaging the python cli/gui for the inputmodule. It is using a bit of a hack because one of the dependencies (PySimpleGUI) recently switched to a noncommercial license so I cannot ship it. But now you can actually play the games on the led-matrix (the rust package doesn't include controls for the games). I'm also working on the Framework system tools now, which should be more interesting for Framework 13 users.
You can test the package on the Framework 16 by installing python311-framework16_inputmodule and then running "ledmatrixctl" from the command line.
Update 3:
I packaged the framework_tool, a general application for interacting with the system. You can find it some detailed information what it can do here. On my system everything related to the embedded controller functionality doesn't work though, so some help testing and debugging would be appreciated.
Update 4:
Today I finished the qmk interface, which gives you a cli (and gui) to configure your Framework 16 keyboard. Sadly the Python gui is broken upstream, but I added the qmk_hid package with the cli and from my testing it works well.
Final Update:
All the interesting programs are now done, I decided to exclude the firmware for now since upstream also recommends using fwupd to update it. I will hack on more things related to the Framework Laptops in the future so if there are any ideas to improve the experience (or any bugs to report) feel free to message me about it.
As a final summary/help for everyone using a Framework Laptop who wants to use this software:
The source code for all packages can be found in repositories in the Framework organization on Github
All software can be installed from this repo (Tumbleweed)
The available packages are:
framework-inputmodule-control (FW16) - play with the inputmodules on your Framework 16 (b1-display, led-matrix, c1-minimal)
python-framework16_inputmodule (FW16) - same as inputmodule-control but is needed if you want to play and crontrol the built-in games in the led-matrix (call with ledmatrixctl or ledmatrixgui)
framework_tool (FW13 and FW 16) - use to see and configure general things on your framework system. Commands using the embedded controller might not work, it looks like there are some problems with the kernel module used by the EC. Fixing this is out of scope for this hackweek but I am working on it
qmk_hid (FW16) - a cli to configure the FW16 qmk keyboard. Sadly the gui for this is broken upstream so only the cli is usable for now
