openSUSE Landing Page Prototype
a project by hennevogel
www.opensuse.org is the single most accessed page in the SUSE/openSUSE universe. With 1.5 million visits per month it generates 2.5 million page views and has around 500 people on the page at any given time. Yet it's one of the oldest, crufty pages we have! It doesn't concentrate on what it should do: Tell people about the distro so they download it. It's design is 5 years old, it's not mobile, it's not accessible. There is absolutely no interactive, engaging content at all and the technology used goes as far as a shell script/cron to update dynamic content.
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.
Merge webui into OBS API
an invention by coolo
The webui is currently the poor cousin of the OBS parts even though it's wildly used. It's a pain in the ass to code for it as there is not a API for most things you need to do - and if there is it's cumbersome to use.
Resistance is Futile - Using zypper to "upgrade" CentOS/RHEL to openSUSE/SLES
a project by RBrownSUSE
zypper is magic
A number of experiments suggest that it may be feasible to run zypper from an openSUSE 'live' media against a 'foreign' RPM based OS installation (eg. CentOS) and then 'zypper dup' to openSUSE
HTML5 testdrive for SUSE Studio
an invention by JKrupa2
There are more and more devices with no Adobe Flash plugin support in web browser (new Android and Apple phones and tables, etc.). The aim of this project is to replace Flash testdrive in SUSE Studio with HTML5 client. So our current implementation bases on our project from a previous Cloud workshop which uses noVNC.

About
There is a wip dissector for the windows search protocol from gregor beck, I have used it, it's nice but it is missing some things I need. I have no idea about wireshark dissectors, I would like to hack on this and make it more useful to me,
[ARM] Ceph on AArch64
an idea by algraf
Octopuses have many ARMs, so we should definitely allow them to run on them too! Today, we don't have working Ceph packages for AArch64, but already solid interest from customers asking us about it. It would be great to be able to give them something to play with.
Wireshark hacking & miscellanous fun
an idea by npower
I have no one vision of a project just some mish-mash random things I would like to explore for some hacking fun + would like to continue previous work from hackweek11 on the Windows Protocol dissector, some messages are still incomplete, also there are some known bugs (well at least I know about them) that I would like to address

Orca: hunting cephalopods for fun and dinner
a project by LarsMB
Orcas are amazing animals. They are playful, intelligent, great swimmers, and very social. They also love to play with their food, hunting down their prey with advanced strategies - understanding where its prey hides, how it will try to escape, and how to overcome those tactics - and having a lot of fun doing so, before relentlessly tearing it apart, killing it, and eat it. Not necessarily in that order. Oh, and they have the right color scheme. This forces their prey to also improve and adapt more advanced strategies and tactics. In this arms race, both sides evolve and improve: the evolutionary pressure has made cephalopods highly intelligent, adaptable, and resilient. Unfortunately (for them), they are still very tasty. So we should exert more evolutionary pressure on individuals to help them stay alive as a species.
Try implementing OMEMO encryption for Empathy
a project by tonghuix
It looks like OTR will never be implemented for Empathy. But two years after Snowden end-to-end encryption is really a basic requirement for every secure chat program. A few weeks ago I read about a promising protocol called OMEMO which seems to overcome all shortcomings of OTR and GnuPG with respect to instant messaging. This would be a option for Empathy to finally support end-to-end encryption.
Setup a WhatsApp <-> XMPP Gateway
a project by holgisms

an invention by hennevogel
openbuildservice.org is the landing page of the Open Build Service free software project. It could use a fresh design.
openSUSE/SLE/Mainline U-boot for some not-yet-supported ARM64 boards
an idea by ldevulder
The Khadas VIM (http://khadas.com/vim/) is an arm64 DIY Set-Top-Box based on Amlogic P212 reference board that use S905X SoC. As Odroid-C2 (based on S905 SoC) is in the mainline U-boot, it should be possible to adapt it for the Khadas VIM (of course a lot of work are needed!).

Disturb Face Recognition
an idea by kfreitag
People do photos everywhere, and share them via social networks. some like it, some also really not. Social networks arouse suspicion to do face recognition on posted photos and that is the point where it really becomes scary.
Run C code from source with tcc
a project by bmwiedemann
It would be nice to have a OS that can be tinkered with easily by having only a compiler as the only binary on the system.
Build kdump initrd without dracut
a project by ptesarik
Project Description
The kdump plumbing is implemented as a dracut module. The original intention was to reuse the logic that dracut uses to deal with storage and network, but it turns out that kdump needs are often very different, so a lot of time is spent on avoiding dracut features that are undesirable.

Python bindings for Bosch Sensortec Environmental Cluster (BSEC) library
an idea by scabrero
Project Description
The BSEC library provides signal processing and sensor fusion for the BME680, a low-power gas, temperature, humidity and pressure sensor. This sensor communicates with the MCU using SPI or I2C to report the measurements, but lacks in-die calculation for air quality index, it just reports the gas sensor resistance.
Automate Victron Cerbo GX scheduled charge configuration based on Redflow ZCell maintenance cycle timing
an invention by tserong
Project Description
At my home we have solar PV hooked up to Victron inverter/chargers and a Redflow ZCell battery for energy storage. The setup is described in detail on my blog. By their nature, ZCell flow batteries needs to undergo a maintenance cycle at least every three days, where they are discharged completely for a few hours. Having only one battery, this means we can't use the "minimum state of charge" feature of the Victron kit to always keep some charge in the battery in case of outages, because doing so conflicts with the ZCell maintenance cycles. This isn't a problem if you have more than one ZCell, because the maintenance cycles interleave in that case, but so far we only have one of these things. If I want to keep charge in the battery for emergency purposes on non-maintenance days, I can do that by configuring scheduled charge settings manually on the Victron Cerbo GX console, but then I have to remember to turn those things back off (or otherwise adjust the settings) for the next maintenance day. For this hack week, I'm going to see if I can automate that piece somehow.
Improve unaligned fs read behavior for u-boot
an idea by wqu_suse
Project Description
Although U-boot has a fuse like interface to support different filesystems, the unaligned read is in fact completely handled by the underlying fses.

The main goal is to enable the use of plain dm-crypt (as btrfs makes LVM2 unnecessary overhead) and a separate ephemeral key for the swap partition.
Write an open source driver for the DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K
a project by patrikjakobsson
Project Description
The DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K is a PCI Express capture card featuring one 6G-SDI and one HDMI 2.0a connection. It can record all formats uncompressed up to 2160p30. The big difference with this card compared to many other capture cards is that it captures all the raw data uncompressed. This allows for it to be used for automatic testing of graphics cards.

generic zswap dedup
a project by ailiopoulos
Project Description
zswap [1] is a linux kernel component that provides in-memory compression for swap pages. It already provides a limited form of deduplication: if a page is filled with the same value (e.g. all-zeroes) then only that value is kept instead of compressing the contents.

Due previous hackweek (https://hackweek.opensuse.org/projects/test-mainline-kernel-on-an-older-qualcomm-soc-msm89xx-explore-mainline-kernel-qualcomm-mainlining) both msm8994 angler and msm8992 bullhead are booting and due other activity (including my work) both have working SD card, but that's just start. Add support for other functionality.
Implement something like Time Slider on Solaris
a project by yudaike
Project Description
Time Slider is a Solaris feature, which utilizes ZFS to provide a graphical way for restoring individual files from automatically scheduled snapshots. Since we have btrfs on SLE/openSUSE now it's probably an interesting project to implement something similar.
