Use the V4L2 API in a PySide qt6.3 application to capture frames, monitor and adjust image exposure from a camera Frame capture is functional I had equivalent functionality working with shell scripts and an application that no longer works.
Provide a qt6.3 based UI in Python to select from available V4L2 cameras and perform frame capture at a user configured interval. Allow user to select from available frame sizes supported by V4L2 camera. Allow user to configure day and night targets for image exposure (brightness, contrast and saturation). Allow user to specify V4L2 camera device controls that adjust each exposure property during day and night. Allow manual adjustment of camera controls. Provide for user entered material for automatic captioning of frames, e.g. text, datestamp and timestamp Automatically calculate day and night periods from user provided latitude/longitude. Provide for enumerated frame collection and daily ffmpeg timelapse generation from those frames at the end of the day. All re-usable properties to be part of persistent application configuration per-camera. Multiple instances can be run simultaneously for different cameras.
Aiming to get at least as far as day and night auto-exposure reliability.
Reach a usable frame capture application, perhaps not the enumerated frames.
No other data available, personal interest as a photographer. Would like to see it published but perhaps it won't be ready for that.

I would hope to be within months of being able to publish a usable tool Others with an interest in reliable video and photography from V4L2 cameras V4L2

Image ranker via click-to-choose using locally running UI by jeremy_moffitt
Description
Create an locally deployable application that allows the user to repeatedly choose between two images from a set to rank them over the course of multiple comparisons. The image set should be loadable from a local file folder the user specifies, then the program displays 2 images at a time to the user who selects their preferred image, random comparisons continue until the user decides they are done, or some threshold for comparisons is met (for example, all images except 1 have "lost" 5 times). The resulting stack sort is available to the user. As a stretch goal the images could be renamed or copy+rename based on the results. Additional stretch goal would be to sort images from a library of URLs (or perhaps a flickr stream). An unlikely but ambitious additional stretch goal is to filter out blurry images using some sort of AI plugin.
Goals
Provide an easily deployable interface in either golang or python (TBD) that supports easy image searching.
Expand the pool of possible image imports over time.
Opportunistically add AI filtering of images based on sharpness or other features.
Application runs on OpenSUSE (stretch goal to also test on Windows)
Resources
Expectation is user can run this on a local machine.
This is also meant as a learning project for freesimplegui and image understanding with Gemini
https://freesimplegui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/quickstart
https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/image-understanding
This could be used for sorting a large number of photos for quality/artistic purposes. This could also be used to rank the things that the photos/pictures represent, say ranking world wonders or food items or marvel movies.
Completed
- Add selector between view mode (1 picture shown, readonly driven by left side list) and vote mode (shows 2 photos click to vote)
- Track voting results
- Persist voting results on local disk (use directory path as key)
- re-sort list by win percentage as votes are cast
- localization support (English and Portuguese implemented)
- exif data display in view only mode
- export results to csv
- ask Gemini to vote
- ask Gemini to evaluate a single photo
Finish mpv port for gfxprim by metan
Description
I've started to work on porting mpv video player for gfxprim graphic library. I have a proof of concept ready and I would like to finish it properly. The only big part that is missing is software rescaling. The minor things that are missing are command line switches to select dithering (for black and white LCD displays), better keyboard mappings, etc.
Goals
Make the gfxprim video output for mpv production ready and prepare packages for openSUSE, Debian and Raspbian.
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
- …?

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.

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.
Improvements to osc (especially with regards to the Git workflow) by mcepl
Description
There is plenty of hacking on osc, where we could spent some fun time. I would like to see a solution for https://github.com/openSUSE/osc/issues/2006 (which is sufficiently non-serious, that it could be part of HackWeek project).
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 (including bootstrapping with bootstrap script) and Salt-ssh clients
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 :-)
In progress/done for Hack Week 25
Guide
We started writin a Guide: Adding a new client GNU Linux distribution to Uyuni at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/wiki/Guide:-Adding-a-new-client-GNU-Linux-distribution-to-Uyuni, to make things easier for everyone, specially those not too familiar wht Uyuni or not technical.
