There used to be a tool called tel that would show information about a user including his phone number, room number, etc:

$ tel tux
------------------------------------------------------------
Name       : Tux Pinguin
Login      : tpinguin
Phone      : +49-911-740 53 - 12345
Department : [SUSE] SUSE LINUX GmbH
Position   : Employee
Location   : Maxtorhof, Room 3.2.15
Tasks      : Be there and look nice
Absence    : *** no absence data from workday (yet) ***
------------------------------------------------------------

As the backend (which is written in tcl and requires a tcl/tk application to change any data) is somewhat outdated and not really developed any further, there is now a new web based tool "Geekos" that provides a map of the building(s) and contains all the users. Sadly this means that the data in the old tel backend ("present server") is not updated anymore and is even completely missing some users.

There is an LDAP based tool telnovell that provides a similar functionality to tel but is missing a very important information (the room number which is not stored in LDAP) and also has a very hard to understand code.

The goal of this project shall be to provide yet another tel tool that will query the information from Geekos. As Geekos is already aggregating information from different sources including LDAP and Externaltools all required information is present there. Also Geekos has a JSON API.

Done!

I finished a basic version of geekotel: https://gitlab.suse.de/dheidler/geekotel/

Sample output:

./gtel.py tux

    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

    Resources

    AWS Redshift; AWS Glue, Airflow, Python, SQL

    Resurrect NWS CLI project by seanmarlow

    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.

    Project URL: https://github.com/smarlowucf/wxcast

    SUSE AI Meets the Game Board by moio

    Use tabletopgames.ai’s open source TAG and PyTAG frameworks to apply Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning to two board games of our own design. On an all-green, all-open source, all-AWS stack!
    A chameleon playing chess in a train car, as a metaphor of SUSE AI applied to games


    Results: Infrastructure Achievements

    We successfully built and automated a containerized stack to support our AI experiments. This included:

    A screenshot of k9s and nvtop showing PyTAG running in Kubernetes with GPU acceleration

    ./deploy.sh and voilà - Kubernetes running PyTAG (k9s, above) with GPU acceleration (nvtop, below)

    Results: Game Design Insights

    Our project focused on modeling and analyzing two card games of our own design within the TAG framework:

    • Game Modeling: We implemented models for Dario's "Bamboo" and Silvio's "Totoro" and "R3" games, enabling AI agents to play thousands of games ...in minutes!
    • AI-driven optimization: By analyzing statistical data on moves, strategies, and outcomes, we iteratively tweaked the game mechanics and rules to achieve better balance and player engagement.
    • Advanced analytics: Leveraging AI agents with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and random action selection, we compared performance metrics to identify optimal strategies and uncover opportunities for game refinement .

    Cards from the three games

    A family picture of our card games in progress. From the top: Bamboo, Totoro, R3

    Results: Learning, Collaboration, and Innovation

    Beyond technical accomplishments, the project showcased innovative approaches to coding, learning, and teamwork:

    • "Trio programming" with AI assistance: Our "trio programming" approach—two developers and GitHub Copilot—was a standout success, especially in handling slightly-repetitive but not-quite-exactly-copypaste tasks. Java as a language tends to be verbose and we found it to be fitting particularly well.
    • AI tools for reporting and documentation: We extensively used AI chatbots to streamline writing and reporting. (Including writing this report! ...but this note was added manually during edit!)
    • GPU compute expertise: Overcoming challenges with CUDA drivers and cloud infrastructure deepened our understanding of GPU-accelerated workloads in the open-source ecosystem.
    • Game design as a learning platform: By blending AI techniques with creative game design, we learned not only about AI strategies but also about making games fun, engaging, and balanced.

    Last but not least we had a lot of fun! ...and this was definitely not a chatbot generated line!

    The Context: AI + Board Games


    ClusterOps - Easily install and manage your personal kubernetes cluster by andreabenini

    Description

    ClusterOps is a Kubernetes installer and operator designed to streamline the initial configuration and ongoing maintenance of kubernetes clusters. The focus of this project is primarily on personal or local installations. However, the goal is to expand its use to encompass all installations of Kubernetes for local development purposes.
    It simplifies cluster management by automating tasks and providing just one user-friendly YAML-based configuration config.yml.

    Overview

    • Simplified Configuration: Define your desired cluster state in a simple YAML file, and ClusterOps will handle the rest.
    • Automated Setup: Automates initial cluster configuration, including network settings, storage provisioning, special requirements (for example GPUs) and essential components installation.
    • Ongoing Maintenance: Performs routine maintenance tasks such as upgrades, security updates, and resource monitoring.
    • Extensibility: Easily extend functionality with custom plugins and configurations.
    • Self-Healing: Detects and recovers from common cluster issues, ensuring stability, idempotence and reliability. Same operation can be performed multiple times without changing the result.
    • Discreet: It works only on what it knows, if you are manually configuring parts of your kubernetes and this configuration does not interfere with it you can happily continue to work on several parts and use this tool only for what is needed.

    Features

    • distribution and engine independence. Install your favorite kubernetes engine with your package manager, execute one script and you'll have a complete working environment at your disposal.
    • Basic config approach. One single config.yml file with configuration requirements (add/remove features): human readable, plain and simple. All fancy configs managed automatically (ingress, balancers, services, proxy, ...).
    • Local Builtin ContainerHub. The default installation provides a fully configured ContainerHub available locally along with the kubernetes installation. This configuration allows the user to build, upload and deploy custom container images as they were provided from external sources. Internet public sources are still available but local development can be kept in this localhost server. Builtin ClusterOps operator will be fetched from this ContainerHub registry too.
    • Kubernetes official dashboard installed as a plugin, others planned too (k9s for example).
    • Kubevirt plugin installed and properly configured. Unleash the power of classic virtualization (KVM+QEMU) on top of Kubernetes and manage your entire system from there, libvirtd and virsh libs are required.
    • One operator to rule them all. The installation script configures your machine automatically during installation and adds one kubernetes operator to manage your local cluster. From there the operator takes care of the cluster on your behalf.
    • Clean installation and removal. Just test it, when you are done just use the same program to uninstall everything without leaving configs (or pods) behind.

    Planned features (Wishlist / TODOs)

    • Containerized Data Importer (CDI). Persistent storage management add-on for Kubernetes to provide a declarative way of building and importing Virtual Machine Disks on PVCs for
