Kernel oops decoder
a project by benjamin_poirier
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?"

Disk operations should not stale the system
an idea by pmladek
It happens from time to time that my system is less responsible. It is usually caused by extensive disk operations, e.g. searching disk for something, moving a lot of data. A solution would be to run these problematic tasks with ionice. But I think that desktop user should not need to take care of this. Also some of the operations are even caused by system tools and normal user has problems to affect it. I wonder if we could somehow improve the desktop setting or it it would even need some hacks into the scheduler.
x86 instructions decoder
a project by bpetkov
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.
understand and possibly improve cscope
a project by mhocko
cscope is a great tool index C/C++ sources and allow to navigate through the code. I have learned that the project is mostly dead and what is worse it uses its own database format to store the index. I would like to see some extended functionality in the tool - e.g. search whether a function A is reachable from B, filtering search results per-file, fix functions with function parameter detection (such functions are not recognized properly currently) and some others.
make openSUSE working on Sony Xperia Tablet Z
a project by sleep_walker
Look once again on Xperia Tablet Z and try to have there openSUSE running natively as alternative operating system.
Make Intel baytrail based device(s) work better with openSUSE
a project by mkubecek
Recently I became a (not very proud) owner of Acer Aspire Switch 10E, a small notebook/tablet convertible based on Intel baytrail platform. Replacing preinstalled (32-bit!) Windows 8.1 with (64-bit) openSUSE proved more challenging than expected, mostly because the device is haunted by a 32-bit UEFI so that it took me a week to make it boot without an external USB flash disk.
kGraft analysis tool
an idea by marxin
kgraft-analysis-tool is a simple tool capable of showing IPA cloning decisions made by modified version of the GCC compiler: https://github.com/marxin/gcc/tree/dump-ipa-clones
Faster kernel builds in the OBS
an invention by michal-m
The kernel compile and link itself is only a fraction of the OBS kernel-default package build. Several other passes take significant time: - Post build checks, especially the clamav scan
Improvements of RES scripts
a project by zpetrova
https://gitlab.suse.de/l3ms/RES-weather/ needs some improvements, e.g. manual generation of statistics and reports.
