Implement Execution of User Scripts during Snapshot Creation in Snapper
an idea by aschnell
The idea is to execute user defined scripts before and after creation of snapshots with snapper. The feature request covering this (fate #316315) was rejected. But I would like to use it anyway for fate #316232.
[Yast] Provide useful understandable error messages for Storage
an idea by locilka
It has probably already happened to you: Creating volume /dev/sda2 failed with error -1008 Did it tell anything useful to you? Maybe if Storage gave you some more info, you could have continued, fix the problem by yourself.
bug screening helper
a project by bmwiedemann
The Problem: many bugs filed for openSUSE go to the screening-team by default and often remain there for weeks, so that developers (who would be interested in analyzing or fixing these bugs) do not learn about them. However, the screening process is a hard one
Look at using the boost graph library as main container for devices in libstorage
a project by aschnell
Storing the devices in libstorage as a graph looks like a natural approach. The boost graph library (BGL) could be used here instead of the selfmade iterator over iterator (not a graph) concept currently used. Together with a redesign of the current objects several features would be simple, e.g. using disks for filesystems, renaming LVM volume groups and logical volumes, switching to and from partitioned MD RAID.

HackWeek T-Shirt
a project by abodry
If nothing is changed, no Hackweek T-Shirt awaits us. So, taking the initiative, I am searching for other creative minds to collaborate with.
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. I have just heard that this should be fined in the last kernels. But I also heard that it still does not work well, for example when copying from/to USB memory stick.
Research about existing Google Drive Linux clients
an invention by sndirsch
Get an overview about the unofficial Google Drive clients, which exist for Linux. Give them a broader testing. Figure out which one is usable. * grive: With using that client I've seen fatal issues, e.g. I've created a folder upstream and uploaded some files to it. When running
Learn Haskell on Project Euler problems
a project by mvidner
I am a beginner: I have read 1½ books on Haskell. I want to practice. Haskell is a purely functional, lazily evaluated, strongly typed (with
Bare metal testing in OpenQA
an invention by kwk
OpenQA uses the VNC protocol to interface with a test system. This limits test systems to be virtualized. Bare metal (physical) systems do not provide VNC out-of-the-box.
Look at Static Code Analysis and Code Coverage for C++
a project by aschnell
Look at static code analysis and code coverage for a C++ project, in this case libstorage-bgl-eval. This could include:
bcache support in libstorage-ng
an invention by aschnell
Look at bcache and start adding support in libstorage-ng. It should be possible to implement probing during hackweek.
Implement more (all missing) Filesystems in libstorage-ng
an invention by aschnell
The next generation libstorage-ng is still missing support for some filesystems. The task is to implement all of them: - ext2 and ext3 should be easy since ext4 is already done.
Do some 3D printing
an invention by aschnell
Do some 3D printing incluing designing the object.
Use LUKS UUID in /etc/crypttab
an invention by aschnell
The the LUKS UUID in /etc/crypttab. In general the file system UUID is already used in /etc/fstab. So using the LUKS UUID in /etc/crypttab is a small step towards consistency and should make the system more robust (e.g. avoid bugs like bsc #1063249).
add features to libstorage-ng
an invention by aschnell
Add some features to libstorage-ng. - Support for F2FS
Look at New Parallelisation Technologies
an invention by aschnell
The idea is to look at some technologies: - C++17 parallel execution
Custom Style for Devicegraph Output of libstorage-ng
an invention by aschnell
So far the style (color, shape, ...) of the devicegraph output of libstorage-ng is hard-coded. The user of the library should somehow be able to customize the style.
Program FPGA using Verilog and VHDL
a project by aschnell
Learn to program a FPGA using Verilog and VHDL
Some weeks ago I bought a TinyFPGA BX which uses the Lattice iCE40. The iCE40 is the first FPGA where the bitsteam was reverse engineered and a complete open source tool-chain is available.
Humidity sensors with dashboard
a project by joachimwerner
Build a network of ("edge") humidity sensors using Raspberry Pis with SenseHats and additional cheaper sensors
For our house, I want to make sure I can track the effectiveness of regularly ventilating the rooms by adding humidity sensors and tracking the measurements over time.
Create RISC-V Core using VHDL suitable for TinyFPGA BX
an invention by aschnell
Create a single-cycle 32-bit RISC-V Core in VHDL as a pure learning project. Why RISC-V? It is clean and small (the base has only about 40
AVR UART and Bootloader
an invention by aschnell
Learn about AVR UART and Bootloader
Use the AVR UART for a bootloader that loads a program via USB to EEPROM. That is basically what the Arduino Bootloader does.
