Get rust into Tumbleweed
a project by KGronlund
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.
Packaging cleanup in HA
an idea by scarabeus_iv

Introduce drbdmanage on SLE product and divi into the new features of drbd9
an idea by wanghaisu
DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high availability clusters. Compare to DRBD8, new released DRBD9 improved the capability and user cases on HA and CLOUD environment, also improve the performance. drbdmanage is a new management approach of DRBD9, aim to establish drbd environment in a C/S way, which is easy for deploy on CLOUD environment. We only build it in obs, now i can introduce it on the latest SLE product.

Use linear programming for the partitioning proposal
an idea by ancorgs
The YaST team is rewriting yast2-storage. That includes new shiny code for the storage proposal during installation. It calculates what partitions and/or volumes need to be created to allocate the system and finds the best way to create those partitions in the existing free spaces. The second part becomes more complicated than it looks as soon as you start considering the restrictions imposed by each volumes and by the technology (primary vs logical partitions, for example).

Research telemetry for (open)SUSE products
an idea by dmacvicar
Most of design is done still with a embarrassing amount of data. Having released software for decades, we still don't know exactly what module is the most used, what workflows the customers are following, where do customers fail. It is all guesses and opinions.

Study SymPy / Learn some Python & refresh some Maths
an idea by JERiveraMoya
I would like to experiment with SymPy this week, it is a good opportunity to use some python, learn symbolic mathematics and refresh some Maths, starting with the tutorial http://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/index.html and later choosing some of the modules in the official documentation http://docs.sympy.org/latest/index.html.
distributed card games, a.k.a. mental poker
an invention by AndreasStieger
Mental poker is a principle and also specific protocol to play card games without a single trusted party. This includes shuffling cards, enforcing card visibility and commitment schemes. Imagine playing rock-paper-scissors via phone only.
Tools to make keysigning fun again (replacement for caff)
an idea by kbabioch
There is a tool called caff, which is the de-facto standard when dealing with keysigning (on a large scale, e.g. after a key signing party). This tool hasn't been touch in years, is written and configured in Perl (hence cannot be read and/or maintained :smile:) and is not easy to package, because of a lot of dependencies, etc. It is not even available in our default repositories (at least for Tumbleweed). In general there seems to be a certain kind of frustration with this software, but there is no real alternative available yet.

L3: Improve crash-setup, develop a core-setup
a project by sparschauer
The current crash-setup source is located here.
Pretty much is working nicely but it doesn't care for the debug source making it impossible to use the crash> gdb list * command right away. This is bug 997558 which should be worked on.

File system block allocation algorithms comparison and analysis
a project by ganghe
In the past, some customers ever complained that OCFS2 file system performance went down when listing a big directory (e.g. include 400k files). According to my preliminary investigation, this performance problem is related to file system block allocation algorithm. Then, I want to look at the current mainstream file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS, etc) block allocation algorithms in this hack week, compare and analysis these algorithms advantages/disadvantages.

Switch to MicroOS desktop.
a project by lpalovsky
Few months ago I switched my home workstation and media center to Micro OS desktop and I cannot imagine switching back to normal distribution. After some consideration I realized it should work fine (even better) on the notebook I am using for work.

Audio steganography for music digital signatures
an idea by shawnhao
Project Description
There are lots of indie musicians who are not very aware of protecting their copyright and it is hard to determine plagiarism in music. I believe a digital signature could be useful to present copyright on court without damaging and altering the soundings of a song. But I am also aware that a signature alone may not be sufficient to protect copyrights and it is able to bypass it.

Tool to collect relevant data from images and containers tested in openQA
a project by jlausuch
Project Description
This idea has been partially implemented for JeOS images, where we are collecting some data from the images whenever a new build ends up in openQA. For instance, https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2419705#step/image_info/9 is collecting the size of the image, as well as total number of RPMs, the list of RPMs with their size and some filesystem information.
