Once again, the SUSE band is coming together to make music and we're planning a party this time round!!!

The idea is about an easy way to allow users to make upgrades (e.g.: changing from one major version like 15.0 to version 15.1) using a GUI and as easy as they can in Ubuntu.

Continuing last year tweaks of packman project we should proceed in the good work and reduce the packman to provide smallest set of packages possible on Tumbleweed (later on inherited by 43.0...).

While osc is growing and getting more and more complex and hard to maintain, there is an object oriented rewrite of osc which key points are:

I have a Flipdot sign that needs control hardware/software. I believe it supports RS485.

Connect is the "social network" of the openSUSE community. While this might not sound so important, the problem is that the tool is used for membership management and all the other "administrative" stuff for the openSUSE community, which makes it a very important tool.

We started the SUSE Musician's Space several Hackweeks ago, out of which we spawned the SUSE band, now known as SUSE LOUD.

The SLE15 development model follows the Factory First policy, where all submissions need to go first to openSUSE:Factory and then to SLE15 repos. This way more bugs are fixed, less patches get lost, less backporting is happening etc.

There are a couple of interesting initiatives that make the openSUSE project interesting for SMB, such as

A pocket operating system,can be burned in a usb stick. Not the live usb,you can save all your changes in this.

OMEMO is the next generation of end-to-end encryption method for IM applications, which supersedes OTR. Compare to OTR, OMEMO provides many useful new features.

Are you interested in pairing? Are you wondering whether it is something that would help you and your team members in your current project? Would you like to try it out before you fully commit to such an extreme idea? Then this is your lucky day Sir/Madam!

There is a lot to do in the openSUSE infrastructure land...

In this hack week we want to focus on improving the existing components used for http://docsearch.nue.suse.com. Creating separated repositories for each service and pushing them to github.com is also desired.

Dochazka is a long-term project to replace the obsolete Attendance & Time Tracking system used by the Prague office since 2007. Dochazka is a complex system consisting of three major components:

The Kubic Project currently produces a "CaaSP-like" Tumbleweed OS, focused on Kubernetes clusters

Goals

The idea is to create a bootable medium (eg. pendrive) that allows:

1% of SUSE Manager's functionality in 0.1% of the lines of code

The aim of this project is to finish up the work already done in previous editions of Hackweek in regards to zypper-docker. That being:

Join us in singing a capella — barbershop-style and others. Find us on RocketChat: #chameleon-harmonists

A successor of

Volumio is a great, Linux based, open source music player for Raspberry PI and x86.

The Doc team decided to collect remainders of foreign currencies to donate them to a 3rd world project.

I'd like to spent some time improving the network for our office in Gran Canaria in the following aspects:

As we have grown in our remote and non official office at Gran Canaria we had to rent another space. This new office is almost empty and we need a little bit of love to improve the sensation of relax and commodity while we do what we love most.

At SUSE/openSUSE we are using (at least some times) Etherpad, whose functionality is really limited and looks as taken from the past. After taking a look to other possible Open Source alternatives, I think there is at the moment any which offers all the feature I would like to have. Because of that I would like to contribute to JetPad, with the idea of using it privately and that it can also be used by SUSE/openSUSE.

From a user perspective there are many ways to secure email communication with pgp. Especially the key handling is still challenging non tekkis.

Hackweek is a place for fun and things and also great things and a lot of fun. Some things don't require a reason - they are fun, that's all to it. Here goes a small competition with a lot of fun to it.

Sometimes - I just miss an important IRC message or a beginning meeting, which is not good

Out of nowhere the idea came up to organize a rum tasting session on one of the HackWeek evenings.
