Faster kernel builds in the OBS
an invention by michal-m
The kernel compile and link itself is only a fraction of the OBS kernel-default package build. Several other passes take significant time: - Post build checks, especially the clamav scan
crash-python
a project by jeff_mahoney
New Development In previous hack weeks, the first few days ended up being wasted on just getting it working. I'm pleased to share that the code quality has improved dramatically since the last hack week and there are now extensive test cases for both unit testing and testing against real vmcores, and we'll use both mypy and pylint (if installed) to perform static analysis. Packages for those are available in openSUSE or as part of the crash-python OBS repo for SLE15. It has been tested with kernels from 3.0 to 5.1.
Implement >=z10 (s390x) support to QEMU
a project by mbenes
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.
Virtual fibre channel HBA support in qemu/kvm guest
an idea by lin_ma
The idea is to present a virtual fc HBA to qemu/kvm guest, The frontend implementation is virtio-fc, the backend is a physical fc HBA with npiv support.
Fast bugzilla search
an invention by alnovak
The Problem
The first thing one should do when resolving a bug is to find out, whether that bug wasn't encountered and perhaps even fixed before. Using our internal Bugzilla's search, that can be long and painful task. I don't know if I'm querying it wrong, or if the problem is the amount of bugs (> 1M and growing quickly), or the number of users, or simply the Bugzilla itself. Also another problem is that some bugs have wrong metadata, which makes the efforts to narrow the search a bit harder.
Developer documentation of boot process (userspace)
a record by mkoutny
There are many tasks necessary to do since PID 1 is started by kernel before the system can do any useful work. And those tasks ideally run as parallel as possible. Unfortunately, sometimes the dependencies and ordering can get wrong resulting into race conditions or deadlocks. The goal of this project is to document in detail what happens when and explain the dependencies so it could be used as a reference when someone runs into a problem with their boot task.
OpenCI - test github PRs on openQA
an idea by coolo
We have quite some projects on openSUSE and os-autoinst organizations that are using travis-ci.org for testing their code. As travis-ci is using an ubuntu VM (or container) there are quite some things we can't test - or test by using SUSE containers within ubuntu VMs. During hackweek I want to evaluate the github API for CI services and try to marry it with openqa.opensuse.org - I'll need a web service that does the tracking, but I'm optimistic that it can be done in a week.

I need to get a basic understanding about MD software RAID setup only via command line tools to be able to understand,
bugzilla nick completion privacy extension
an idea by AndreasStieger
Bugzilla supports automatic username completion. This project is to extend this feature to allow restriction of the nick completion feature by user and on the data returned.

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 *<symbol> command right away. This is bug 997558 which should be worked on.
Looking for projects around:
Nothing at the moment
