Project Description
Sometimes when developing a GTK program, we want some nice 3D rendered content in it. And to do that, usually we want to use some Graphics API.
For OpenGL, we can easily solve that with GtkGLArea. But GL is not the only API exists; there's also a fancy new API called Vulkan (and even GTK itself have a backend for it), yet at the moment there is no such thing as GtkVulkanArea.
We need to fix that.
Goal for this Hackweek
Implement a widget serve roughly the same purpose of GtkGLArea, but for Vulkan. It doesn't need to be feature complete or production ready, we just want a quick and dirty PoC as a foundation for future implementations.

pudc - A PID 1 process that barks to the internet by mssola
Description
As a fun exercise in order to dig deeper into the Linux kernel, its interfaces, the RISC-V architecture, and all the dragons in between; I'm building a blog site cooked like this:
- The backend is written in a mixture of C and RISC-V assembly.
- The backend is actually PID1 (for real, not within a container).
- We poll and parse incoming HTTP requests ourselves.
- The frontend is a mere HTML page with htmx.
The project is meant to be Linux-specific, so I'm going to use io_uring, pidfs, namespaces, and Linux-specific features in order to drive all of this.
I'm open for suggestions and so on, but this is meant to be a solo project, as this is more of a learning exercise for me than anything else.
Goals
- Have a better understanding of different Linux features from user space down to the kernel internals.
- Most importantly: have fun.
