The new SUSE Floor is nearly done. The core functionality is already implemented and only some basic features are left.<br> <br>

I intend to work on translation of KDE to Czech language. http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/stable-kde4/team/cs/

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

This will greatly enhance the usefulness of QEMU virtual serial ports, because the Linux kernel interprets a break on the serial console as a SysRq, but there is currently no way to pass this signal over a pseudo-terminal.

DAPS, the "DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite" provides a tool set for easy creation and publication of DocBook sources on Linux. DAPS lets you create HTML (incl. webhelp), PDF, EPUB, man pages, and other formats with a single command. DAPS is used and developed by teh SUSE documentation team. The official DAPS release is 1.1.7. SUSE internally DAPS 2.0 rc2 has been released. A few issues need to be fixed (mainly closing open bugs and adding missing test cases). The goal of this project is to fix these issues, so DAPS 2.0 can be publicly released.

I'm interesting in SLEnkins project and I want to learn it a bit. I will try it and know how it works and how to use it.

During the last CSM workshop we identified the need to have a good way to share the images we use for testing. We have documented the requirements and the current status in this wiki page (we even have a diagram). So analysis is done... it's time for action. The solution should be relatively easy to implement using our portfolio of solutions. Coordinating all the potential users should be easier during Hackweek, specially since I'll be in Nuremberg (and I can physically chase most people ;-) ).

Packman reduction

In openSUSE Asia summit 2015, there was a talk about the software defined networking, from the virtual switch, the controller, to the simulator. Just want to take a look at open vswitch and Ryu to learn more about SDN.

I want to learn JavaScript or CoffeeScript and how to write Gnome 3 extensions. I think that the right task for learning JS/CS could be work on extension for our wicked network manager because I miss some NetworkManager style plugin. Very basic extension for wicked should contains following:<br>

Currently, the usual way to communicate with VM instances in the cloud from outside is ssh. This is okay for most uses, but a) does not work when you mess up with the guest's ability to network and b) requires a free floating IP. I wonder if, for qemu/kvm instances, it would be possible to use virtio-serial possibilities : from the guest, it is seen as a serial port, and from the outside, it is seen as a UNIX socket, or as something else. It is fast, as it does not go through virtualization and device drivers.

Last time I checked QEMU lacked support for >= z10 processors. Thus one cannot run SLE12 and newer in a virtual machine on non-s390x host. I'd like to improve the situation during Hackweeks.

Create a JUnit test suite for Firefox browser and integrate the tests into SLEnkins.

I would like to learn more about ARM/AArch64 emulation in QEMU, especially the boot process and different board emulation. Goals:

It is always nice to extend the translations for openSUSE packages/projects using Weblate.<br> Everyone is encouraged to improve on his native language.

SUSE Manager can do some virtual machines management, but needs a lot to be complete. This project is about investigating more on that topic.

The idea is getting a general knowledge of how QT Linguist works, and help FET with some translations. FET is a timetable creator, that is available for openSUSE at https://en.opensuse.org/FET, and allows a user to create a timetable, usually for educational institutions, with a lot of different available constraints.

QLogo is a UCBLogo-compatible implementation of the Logo language using Qt and OpenGL. QLogo was designed with the language interpreter integrated into the GUI. For Hackweek 18 I want to separate the interpreter from the GUI so that QLogo can be run from the command line or from a shell script.

This issue has been blocked for a while due to time constraints so I want to take Hackweek 19 to work on it.

Learning REXX and improve FTPBOOT for installing and testing our S390 builds

Project Description

The idea is to learn about the PlayStation 1 CPU and GPU.

fq is an open source command tool used for formatting and inspecting binary data. It has a modular architecture that allows for adding support for all sorts of different binary data (e.g. MP4, BZIP2, ELF, etc.) While working on a legacy booting issue for Harvester HCI, I learned about the format of the legacy MBR (master boot record). I started adding support for it in this PR, but I haven't finished it yet. I am interested in better understanding the ways computers boot up so I can better understand what goes wrong when people try to boot Harvester (or relatedly, openSUSE).

Project Description

OpenEMS — the Open Source Energy Management System — is a modular platform for energy management applications. It was developed around the requirements of monitoring, controlling, and integrating energy storage together with renewable energy sources and complementary devices and services like electric vehicle charging stations, heat-pumps, electrolysers, time-of-use electricity tariffs and more.

Project Description

Replace resolvconf with a tool that generates unbound(8) configuration instead of resolv.conf.

Project Description

From recent news, I found math material I read during college is too bad to take part in using. One of the best ways to create some links in my previous math knowledge(if still left some) is to get some quick knowledge from some video sessions by 3Blue1Brown.

Project Description

(e)BPF has grown in features over the years, and it's sometimes rather confusing for (e)BPF application developers as to what features are available for them; and while tools like bpftool support feature detection, it only detects the feature available to the current running kernel.

Project Description

Uyuni is the upstream community project from which the very popular SUSE Manager is derived. It uses its own QE test suite wirtten in Cucumber and Ruby. Currently the Uyuni test suite runs with Ruby 2.5.9 which is EOL since 2021. This is because the most current Ruby version for openSUSE Leap 15.4, which the test suite controller runs on, is still Ruby 2.5.9. Updating the Ruby version allows us to modernize the test suite code base and to use more recent Ruby gems that do not support the old Ruby version anymore.

Project Description

Research about the integration of Ironic in Uyuni for automating provisioning of bare metal machines.

Project Description

Saline is an addition for salt used in SUSE Manager/Uyuni aimed to provide better control and visibility for states deploymend in the large scale environments.

Project Description

Mike Friesenegger and Tevor Kelly will attempt to build a Kubernetes cluster on the IBM Power Server in the SE lab in Provo

Project Description

Get practice in Golang targeting some "good first issue" on open source projects. You can find some of them in Resources

Project Description

Implement /rebuy-de/aws-nuke to make sure no resources are left in AWS after automated tests.

Project Description

SUSE dissolved an old warehouse, containing lots and lots of boxes with old SUSE / SuSE / S.u.S.E software. All of those boxes were originally going to be dumped in March 2021, which could be prevented.

Project Description

Valgrind currently lacks support for 80-bit extended precision floating point arithmetic on x86_64 (long double). The current implementation uses 64-bit arithmetic instead, which means that programs running on x86_64 with "long double" give different results when running under Valgrind and natively. People were asking for support for this since like forever, but to date nobody went on implementing it. It's a project for a year, unless somebody has time to work on it full time, but one has to start somewhere. :-)

Project Description

People need to test operating systems and applications on s390 platform.

Project Description

The key protector support in GRUB2 is on the way and it currently supports only TPM2. This project is aim to explore the possibility to extend the key protector to support Yubikey to store the LUKS key.

Project Description

Currently, much of the async code in the frontend parts of Uyuni suffers from susceptibility to out-of-order request issues, race conditions, etc. There are ways we can sidestep them for specific cases, but since it's created more than one L3 at this point it would be nice to address it in a general way.
