Get openSUSE running in parallel to Android on a regular and rooted Android Smartphone. On top of this try to get a graphical desktop running using Xvnc available for Android.

It's a tool or website for Bej employee to manage his(her) leave days, then they don't need ask HR for each time. An idea for learning Django web application framework.

While auto-mounting a VFAT volume in a desktop environment, there is no way to select required mount options for the particular volume. But there is no combination of options that will fit to all purposes. Without being able to choose mount options, some tasks work in an inferior way.

Create a set of ready to use Dockerfiles based on OpenSUSE, and find a nice home for them to live in. Useful containers or just for fun, let's dockerize-it all.

I'm currently using LastPass as password manager but it has several drawbacks: * closed-source

Now we are lack of using internal wiki page to solve problem. One of the reason is that we don't know if it contain the solution we need, and it's not convenient to search it manually in wiki page. It's much more slower than using google. In one group, we are most likely facing the same problem during work. So keeping the best solution, which we got from searching engine, in internal wiki is an efficiency way to collect standard workflow.

goals

• learn general information about them

Idea is to prepare some advanced template examples for Heat orchestration in OpenStack, which will show: - how HA for VM guests can be used

Introduction:
We are doing virtualization related tasks, How can we still not know how

CoreOS is a new Linux distribution that has been rearchitected to provide features needed to run modern infrastructure stacks. CoreOS is popular on most cloud providers (EC2, Rackspace, GCE), virtualization platforms (Vagrant, VMware, OpenStack, QEMU/KVM) and bare metal servers (PXE, iPXE, ISO, Installer). Play with CoreOS during hackweek and see how and why it works well for HA.

Gang(ghe@suse.com) and Eric(zren@suse.com) will do a functional comparison analysis between OCFS2 and GFS2 during this hack week. we will try to setup a GFS2 cluster environment, compare the features and performance with OCFS2,

PXEAT (stand for PXE Administration Tool) is a tool to easily deploy and manage PXE service. It's NOT a tool for automatic deployment. It can enable user to add their own PXE items by themselves, but of course, very limited for security reasons. The tool will be developed with the light-weight framework - flask, as well as a sqlite database.

Read in a crash or oops-style backtrace and access DWARF information to output the current content of the stack and registers in term of symbols, and the the crash commands to dump/pretty print them. In other words, when looking at a crash dump, answer the questions "Which variable is currently stored in $rax? What is the structure of the stack? Which variable is stored at $rsp+16?"

Status at the end of hackweek 10

This is about writing a tool to find differences in assembly files generated by gcc. The goal is to find the symbols in a program that have changed by a source code patch. This information can then be used to create and/or verify kGraft patches.

Sometimes it is hard to promote our project at conferences and events. During this hackweek I'd like to prototype a papercraft for promoting Portus at the upcoming containercon.

There are vastly different syntaxes being used by Linux softwares nowadays - Apache, Bind, NTP, Postfix, just to name a few. It is a very tedious task to implement comprehensive parser for every single configuration file, and even more difficult to produce configuration text (file content) from parsed syntax tree. The project tackles those difficulties by presenting an implementation of a universal parser that is capable of:

With rust 1.9 released, it should be possible to from now on bootstrap rustc from the previous version of rustc (so 1.10 can be built using 1.9 etc.). This means that it should now be possible to create a rustc package which no longer needs binary snapshots to build, meaning that we might even be able to submit rustc for inclusion in openSUSE Tumbleweed. This is the first goal.

Description

It can boot up from udisk/floppy.

Automate the process described here: - https://github.com/aspiers/git-deps/#use-case-2-splitting-a-patch-series

GFS2 and OCFS2 are 2 cluster filesystems in linux kernel. We also support GFS2, though most of our customers use OCFS2 as we recommend. Last hackweek, from

L3 bug reproduction often requires becoming the admin for a moment. I'd like to write down some nifty tricks I used to get certain “interesting” system configurations to work.

This is the tool I've been working on since HW11 and it needs more work. Actually, there's always something which could be done on it. It is basically an x86 instruction decoder with special emphasis on the kernel and decoding interesting pieces of it in order to help in the development of low-level patching techniques, among others. git repo: https://gitlab.suse.de/bp/x86d

As a starting point to learn and test OpenStack on relative low profile workstation/desktop, I found this project interesting and would like to setup it. :) https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/training-labs

GOAL

LVM support for Guix System Distribution

With GNU Guix 0.8.1 and it's distribution there is still lack of LVM support. As I'm probably the only user of LVM, I need to hack support into initrd myself.

headmore is your fully functional VNC client (viewer + control) launched from command line for your geeky character terminals (Linux VT console, xterm, and more): https://github.com/HouzuoGuo/headmore

The new features below were added for the cluster (shared disk) scenario of LVM2 in upstream half year ago. I'm new to LVM2, and have been busy with bugfix things this days. This hackweek

Every packager encounters boring manual tasks every once in a while and these tasks can most probably be automated to some extent. During Hackweek I aim to try and identify such cases in various packagers' workflow and consider creating a tool that would make these tasks easier. Also, I would like to find out whether there is a demand for such tool. In that case, this Hackweek project will turn into a long-term task I plan to keep working on.

Hackweek is here! I think this is the best week of the year to sit down altogether and exchange ideas and suggestions. The main topic is Automation. The goal is that many of these ideas might help various teams within SUSE to engage their business reasons better in defining key expectations and improve the quality of our software products. No fear of change -- the aim is to propose a modern pipeline in a less-invasive manner. Everybody has an idea, everybody has a voice! Brainstorming together can be useful to many different roles, including testers, analysts and developers. Let's have a chit-chat and write down some of those; Hopefully we will come up with plenty of tips on how to organise testing activities better. > Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is a progress. Working together is a success. - Henry Ford

Parametrizable formulas is a normal salt module plus some metadata in order to interactively parametrize them. The metadata is used to automatically generate forms that are then injected as pillar data. See original Hackweek project, SUSE Manager support for formulas blog article and its (internal for now) docs.

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

The Invis Server

The goals: - Learn enough Java fundamentals to understand OpenDaylight code

Playing around with kvm, libvirt and related tools to setup an easy to use and quickly available test environment on my workstation. Find out which other tools or environments are available on SUSE side, which can be used instead of a local/private solution.

Customers are using complex storage stacks such as LVM over dm-crypt over MD RAID over multipath over iSCSI and FC with LOTs of LUNs, and we're facing problems in that area which are usually very hard to reproduce. It's also hard to guard against regressions. Being able to quickly and reliably set up VMs with various types of storage / multipath is a key part of testing multipath. It's doable, but cumbersome and has a steep learning curve. I want to create easy-to-understand manual recipes plus scripts that are both easy to understand / customize and deploy.
