The huge glass front of the Allhands Area facing Maxfeldstrasse wants to shine in Geeko-Shape.

During Hack Week 7 I worked on an archive of Qt-based libraries. The goal was to easily make all available Qt libraries accessible to developers. Think CPAN for Qt. So I hacked on a web site and a command line client.

Build Service needs an openid.

Build an open-source appliance editor for SUSE Studio that interacts only with the API, using modern JS web frameworks.

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!

Investigate the good way to put sikuli into openqa.

The aim of this project is to make openSUSE/SUSE more known in Turkey, to atract students there to more participate in opensuse community:

Using NFC(Near field communication) tag / phone Lock and Unlock ( replace password login ) on openSUSE with Gnome.

Create a set of ready to use Dockerfiles based on OpenSUSE, and find a nice home for them to live in. Useful containers or just for fun, let's dockerize-it all.

One of the winning factors of Docker is the Docker Hub. This the a place where the Docker community shares their images. Thanks to Docker's integrated build system it is possible to create new Docker images by just extending an existing one. That's why the Docker Hub is so useful.

Nailed is a Sinatra app which currently shows Bugzilla, Github and Jenkins [WIP] data. The data gets fetched/refreshed by a ruby command line tool in the background.

Goal:

I'm currently using LastPass as password manager but it has several drawbacks:

openSUSE Connect is almost forgotten tool used only for elections. It would be nice to update it, polish it a little bit, disable functions that nobody uses and fix those few that people would actually like to use.

This is about starting to use functional programming paradigms that get used more and more?

While in general everything still works, the current (patached/extended) planet installation behind planet.opensuse.org is a bit outdated and not maintained any more.

Writing code is wonderful, but it gets its real value, when it's released and shipped to the world. You know the mantra: "Release early, release often".

Did you know that more that 60% of the food we produce it's thrown away? Why create pollution? Why spend out time to create something that in the end get wasted?

Sometimes it is hard to promote our project at conferences and events. During this hackweek I'd like to prototype a papercraft for promoting Portus at the upcoming containercon.

Flatpak (previously known as xdg-app) is a bundle system, based on ostree, to easily make available applications bundle to users. Currently, flatpack is available on openSUSE Tumbleweed but we don't ship any runtime based on openSUSE (freedesktop or GNOME runtime).

With rust 1.9 released, it should be possible to from now on bootstrap rustc from the previous version of rustc (so 1.10 can be built using 1.9 etc.). This means that it should now be possible to create a rustc package which no longer needs binary snapshots to build, meaning that we might even be able to submit rustc for inclusion in openSUSE Tumbleweed.

The idea is about an easy way to allow users to make upgrades (e.g.: changing from one major version like 15.0 to version 15.1) using a GUI and as easy as they can in Ubuntu.

My current mail setup is mu4e and emacs based mail client included with the amazing mu mail indexer. mu works similar to notmuch but allows easy bidirectional operation with the original Maildir. Add mbsync (isync) to sync imap locally and msmtp and you have a full mail setup.

It would be nice to have trendy and hip editor [0] in openSUSE. Currently however some nodejs dependencies are missing.

there is a small security, data manipulation bug on the hackweek-tool.

The purpose of this project is to implement an Android application which shows some images (or dice) which you must use to create a short story.

In general plan for YaST is to use ruby only in future. So goal of this project is to move it forward and replace more parts with ruby.

Implement a basic file search for a given OBS project. An example of basic functionality can already be found for Ubuntu or Debian. The goal is to implement,

openSUSE Leap 42.3 goes for a rolling release model with automated openQA tests. That covers only so much though. We need manual testing too. In previous releases a google document spread sheet was used to coordinate and track the efforts.That's probably not the best method anymore.

Description

Overview

http://squarefootgardening.org/ is a form of intensive gardening that packs plants closely together. It depends on companion planting to encourage growth and protection for pests.

This is a project to create a "larp" game for SUSE employees (or anyone geeky enough to play this) which will be based on computer related knowledge. The core of the game is to search for other people and clues for solving the main goal by "connecting" or "hacking" according to given HW and SW roles. E.g. a person will play router, another one will play PC and they will need to find a person playing TCP/IP protocol to communicate and eventually create a working setup to solve the goal. They they need to work as a group and solve riddles/ciphers which will let them go further. There are more game mechanics i have in mind, but don't want to spoil all of them now :)

The idea is to create a fantastic robotic SUSE pet using cheap materials. It will be moved with you remote control of your TV. After building the prototype the schemes and Arduino code will be delivered for everyone to try building it at home.

An introduction from minetest website: " Minetest is a near-infinite-world block sandbox game and a game engine, inspired by InfiniMiner, Minecraft, and the like. Minetest is available natively for Windows, OS X, GNU/Linux, Android, and FreeBSD. It is Free/Libre and Open Source Software, released under the LGPL 2.1 or later. "

There is a running gag built into openQA called interactive mode. It goes like this: "if you need the interactive mode, it's broken". The reason: the so called interactive mode is a collection of hacks - in theory making it possible to update needles in a running test.

OpenFaaS - Functions as a Service

I'm using Conversations (XMPP+OMEMO) as an encrypted IM solution. Since a lot of groups organizing them self using WhatsApp, it's hard to stay away from it.

Are you interested in pairing? Are you wondering whether it is something that would help you and your team members in your current project? Would you like to try it out before you fully commit to such an extreme idea? Then this is your lucky day Sir/Madam!

Why

There is a lot to do in the openSUSE infrastructure land...

After an internal call for help to take over software.opensuse.org deployment, I spend some time studying the code in order to find out what would it mean to take it over.

Goals

Fresh air and motion helps your brain to come up with new and creative ideas.

Let's dust off our Amigas, hook up our mice and joysticks, and see what elegant software and hardware could do back in the 80s and 90s!

media.ccc.de currently hosts about 5TB of presentation recordings. The main mirrors send about 5TB of videos each in a single month. Several OpenSource conferences are hosted on media, like the last two openSUSE conference, or the "All Systems Go!" conference. What started as a web frontend for ftp.ccc.de in 2007 has become a complex project that integrates deeply into the tooling used by the VOC team.

Build a base image and template (both kiwi and Dockerfile) for openSUSE Leap 42.3 using the native OBS container building feature.

First part is to support automated builds on git pushes also with gitlab, similar to what we do already with github.com. This means OBS would get notificated in a save way to refetch sources and start build on each commit.

Learn how openQA was implemented in details.

An initial prototype from the last hackweek can be found on YouTube

Checking the status of your Github pull requests is annoying. You have to lose focus from your current work (ie. hacking) and open your browser, type the repo URL in the address bar, click on the Pull Requests page, and look at the status of your PR.

Let's use the Hackweek to improve Ruby, the programming language I use every day. It is while using a language when you can realised that things that need/can to be improved, so there are many things that only Ruby developers can raise up. Also, getting involved in the development of Ruby will help to get a better understanding of how it works. So I will take my ideas/concerns to the Ruby community and implement some of the them in the code of the Ruby core.

Description:

Translations get more and more important in packages live.

I want to write a new rubocop cop that verifies that a schema.rb file in a Rails project, references a valid migration.

During the hackweek i want also to learn more about this topic.

I'd like to consider the possibilities for redesigning SUSE documentation. Mark Baker ("Every Page is Page One") says "include it all, filter it afterwards" which is the exact antithesis of what we currently offer. Let's consider how we can move documentation into the future: search driven, user friendly, accessible, and in line with the way our readers use the rest of the internet.

A good way of getting to know a new programming language is... writing some code. So although there are some good IRC bouncers, like ZNC, we want to write another one just for learning.

I'd like to see a web-based desktop RSS reader with a simple 3-pane interface like SharpReader's but it runs in Firefox and uses Firefox shared storage to store the user's usage data on their local machines, not on a server.

While it is important for package maintainers to track the upstream code base activities and backport significant patches in a timely manner, it could be a tedious work when there's hundreds of packages in a project (ahem, GNOME) to follow manually.

Sometimes - I just miss an important IRC message or a beginning meeting, which is not good

Learn tinycc (tcc). Fix bugs, write features, etc. Hack on tcc.

I just recently started a new project which is meant to be a wrapper for OBS's API. The library is written in Ruby.

The monitoring in our internal infrastructure needs some love and attention. I want to spent some time during this hack week on the monitoring by fixing old checks, implementing new checks and making sure that those are configured and installed via configuration management.

OSC is already available on Homebrew, but it is missing the integration with Staging as the openSUSE-release-tools are not available. In this Hackweek project I would like to get the openSUSE-release-tools running on macOS via Homebrew.

I would like to learn more about something outside of engineering. I have selected to learn more about marketing; something our overall team is doing more of...

Features I'd like to implement:

Let's imagine you are a sales engineer. You want to either:

I want to set up a few small raised beds to plant some vegetables. Volunteers more than welcome-just ping me on RC.

Let's pick some old classic game, reverse engineer the data formats and game rules and write an open source engine for it from scratch. Some games from 1990s are simple enough that we could have a playable prototype by the end of the week.

For events like engineering summit or hackweeks, it would be nice to have a SUSE instance of workadventu.re, and have our own maps, wired with (open)SUSE's jitsi!

There is always something to do if you run the infrastructure for such a big project like openSUSE....

Not a Hack Week project per se, but I am trying to connect with a few like minded people - I like playing Texas Holdem poker and am tired of playing bots/strangers online. I am hoping to gather a few fellow players for a game.

Project Description

In the past year we've found ourselves in the middle of a pandemic, we merged two awesome companies together, and we have completely changed the trajectory of SUSE and Rancher. This project is intended to transfer knowledge of SUSE to Rancher and Rancher to SUSE for those who may be challenged with time and resources to try new things. This gives us a chance to explore other uses for Kubernetes all while taking advantage of older equipment (for use as workers) we may have to spare.

Implement support for OVA as output for kiwi build in OBS using hooks and open-vmdk

Description

Once images/repo are built from IBS/OBS, there is a tool to sync the image from IBS/OBS to openqa asset directory and trigger openqa jobs accordingly.

Description

There are already k9s and kustomize packages that exist for openSUSE today. These could be used as the source for these binaries in our rancher projects. By using them we would benefit from CVE fixes included in our distribution of the packages not in cluded upstream. However they are not providing arm package builds which are required.

Description

I recently started to work on tooling for OBS using rust, to do so I started a Rust create to interact with OBS API, I only implemented a few routes/resources for what I needed.

Description

Description

Reverse proxies can be a useful option to separate authentication logic from application logic. SUSE and openSUSE use "loginproxies" as an authentication layer in front of several services.

Description

Alpine Linux is often used for containers, as it's base system has very few dependencies and is therefore very small. The Open Build Service does not work with Alpine, as Alpine has their own package format that is currently not understood by OBS.
