Tronsmart has a Rockchip rk3368 based set-top-box [1].

We got a couple of GSoC projects around Jangouts this year:

I'm planning to do some research about RV32E which has only 16 GPRs, but riscv-pk doesn't have RV32E support so that the RV32E aware GCC (https://github.com/kito-cheng/riscv-gcc/tree/riscv-next) cannot build riscv-pk. I'm going to study how the proxy kernel works so that I can do some modification to let it support RV32E.

Lately the necessary patches to get rudimentary support for the Mediatek chromebook with a mainline kernel got posted. There are some hacks and I'll work on some good solution to get graphics go, at least.

Compared with traditional file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS), log-structured file systems treat its storage as a circular log and write sequentially to the head of the log. I want to learn about this kind of file system via this hack week, to understand how it manages its data and metadata, to understand how it recover back from crash, to understand its advantages and disadvantages.

djmount is a neat idea - see UPnP/AV resources in your directly in the file system. Unfortunately the code hasn't been maintained for ~10y, and - at least for me - seems to by plagued by various bugs causing crashes and what not. There's currently no official openSUSE package. This project aims to pick up the code, fix bugs, and make the tool actually useful again. The code itself seems to be in quite a good shape, so this should be doable.

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.

Matrix.org is a project to create a protocol and server implementation to replace IRC.

There are some interesting and promising new tools for kabi checking that have been developed in the past 2-3 years (e.g. abidiff/libabigail, kabi-dw) . See if any of them prove to be viable alternatives to our current dependence on the brittle genksyms/modversions infrastructure in the kernel.

Since Firefox 57, SUSE's default browser no longer supports XUL extensions. This is a problem for those of us who customized Firefox extensively with multiple addons.

Make a final attempt to implement a graphical user interface for grub2 (gfxboot2).

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.

Yes, those VGA video cards. The goal of this project is to implement a DRM graphics driver for such devices. While actual hardware is hard to obtain or even run today, qemu emulates VGA output.

There are currently 2 versions of tracking fixes. One is used in CI (and ./scripts/git-fixes)[1] and (unfortunately, it doesn't handle reverts) the other is for sending emails to developers. The first one is relatively fast (for its usecases) and the other is relatively slow and made for bulk processing only. Both are single-threaded.

ABI compatibility checks could be further automated by using the OBS API to download built RPMs and using existing tools to analyze ABI compatibility between the libraries contained in those packages. This project aims to explore these possibilities and figure out a way to make ABI checks as painless and fast as possible for package maintainers.

Description

There have been repeated requests for a machine-friendly dmidecode output over the last decade. During Hack Week 19, 5 years ago, I prepared the code to support alternative output formats, but didn't have the time to go further. Last year, Jiri Hnidek from Red Hat Linux posted a proof-of-concept implementation to add JSON output support. This is a fairly large pull request which needs to be carefully reviewed and tested.

The idea for Hack Week is to add new features to qubesome. qubesome is a CLI that manages your window managers and workloads in a GitOps manner. Each profile is executed under its own container, with its own xorg display. This enables having awesomewm running for a profile while having i3 for another, for example, both running in parallel. Anyone keen on learning more about qubesome or helping with the goals, please feel free to reach out.

RISC-V is awesome, Tumbleweed is awesome, chocolate cake is awesome. I'm planning to combine all of them in one project.

MIDI supports volume control, so why not use that for ALSA?

Description

Improve UML handling of segmentation faults in kernel mode. Although such page faults are generally caused by a kernel bug, it is annoying if they cause an infinite loop, or panic the kernel. More importantly, a robust implementation allows to write KUnit tests for various guard pages, preventing potential kernel self-protection regressions.
