openQA v2 test, fix, deploy

openqa.opensuse.org is still running on the older v1 version necessitating extra maintenance (and bringing confusion to people about which version is the right one to use).

salien - convert deb/pkgbuild/... into .spec

an idea by bmwiedemann

There is the alien program to convert binary packages between various formats, but it would be even nicer to be able to take a debian or archlinux build spec and convert it into an rpm .spec file.

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

write mkcloudcloud - a nested cloud setup software

a project by bmwiedemann

In https://github.com/SUSE-Cloud/automation/ we already have mkcloud, which can setup a whole SUSE Cloud on a single host for testing. However, it would be cool, if (instead of a single machine) we could use cloud.suse.de with its capability to add extra networks as requested.

openQA webVTT subtitles

a project by bmwiedemann

The webVTT standard (nearly the same as the older SRT subtitles) allows to add subtitles to a video. We could use this in openQA to show which keys were pressed at that point in the video, in which line of code we were or on what event we waited. This could make debugging easier and might be instructive to users, too.

LaTeX binary numbering

an idea by bmwiedemann

LaTeX can already do (arabic) decimal and roman numbering for sections/chapters/pages/enums etc, but for proper geekiness of one's papers/presentations, it should be able to do it in binary digits. This mini-hackweek project is about finding out and documenting how to do that in the easiest way.

write a dyndns CGI frontend

a project by bmwiedemann

Using dynaname it is already possible to securely auto-update DNS records in a bind9, but this still needs a linux machine. This project is about building a CGI frontend for it that makes it a replacement for the discontinued dyndns.org service.

get a CNC Gcode generator to work on openSUSE

My hobby project is about using Lego mindstorms to turn a lathe / turning machine into a CNC.

allow openQA tests in python

a project by bmwiedemann

using perl's Inline::Python module, it should be possible to define openQA test modules in python instead of perl.

update+fix samsung exynos/arndale arm board boot

a project by bmwiedemann

We had old arndale images working, but those were based on openSUSE-12.x which is now long obsolete and bad (e.g. missing security updates).

mumble-to-sip gateway

an idea by bmwiedemann

Sometimes we would like to have ordinary people join our mumble (voice-communication) meetings which is easiest via telephone (or web-browser?).

setup kopano groupwise replacement

a project by bmwiedemann

Following up on Sunday's Kopano deployment workshop at oSC16, I deploy an instance of the FLOSS groupware, collecting important steps in https://w3.suse.de/~bwiedemann/contrib/kopano-setup.sh

linux antivirus engine

an idea by bmwiedemann

http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/dumb/ explained in detail that filtering badness is a dumb idea, so if we wanted to build a linux antivirus software, we would need a whitelist of programs that would be allowed to execute. We can easily use the rpm database for that. But what is missing, is a mechanism through that the kernel would check before executing $binary if it is OK to run it.

layer3 cloud

an idea by bmwiedemann

One of the things that make deploying SUSE OpenStack Cloud hard is that it assumes that you have a layer2 network to do DHCP/PXE-boot, run your SDN on etc.

integrate rabbitmq into obsbugzilla

an invention by bmwiedemann

OBS started distributing live events through a rabbitmq and Bernhard's obsbugzilla scripts can use that as an additional source to update bugzilla with reduced and more uniform delays, e.g. within 30 minutes of the last SR relating to a given bug.

We got two old mainboards and hope we can get at least one of them to boot linux from coreboot.

bugzilla auto-assignment using artificial stupidity

a project by bmwiedemann

A lot of openSUSE bugs are filed with plenty details but without a specific assignee so often many days are lost between filing and a developer seeing the report.
