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.

We are not hacking on the keyboard but with our own body, learning techniques to relax and strengthen the body to fight gravity. Welcome to a daily training session (3 - 3.30 pm) during Hackweek for an introduction with lightweight exercises.

SUSE currently consumes a lot of electricity for keeping servers up an running as well as workstations at the office rooms, air-conditions and so on. The project is about to collect information where all the power is going to and to find sweet spots for saving power (and money).

DAPS is the tool used by the SUSE documentation team to generate HTML, ePUB, PDF, ... output of the SUSE manuals from DocBook XML sources. It uses the suse-xsl-stylesheets for this purpose. Currently three different suse-xsl-stylesheet brands exist: SUSE, DAPS, openSUSE. Branding is done by adjusting the xsl-stylesheets directly. It would be desirable to be able to easily change the branding, e.g. via a simple config file in the style of /etc/sysconfig files, since most people cannot hack XSLT. This is also the number one enhancement request we get from DAPS users outside of SUSE.

I want to experiment with three things: * Blockchain

The Doc team decided to collect remainders of foreign currencies to donate them to a 3rd world project. There is a box in the Documentation office on 1st floor AND in the All Hands Area where you can drop coins, bills or whatever currency you have left over from your last holiday trip that you don't need anymore.

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. There are other Firefox forks out there, but Waterfox is based on v56, the most recent version of Firefox before the switch to Quantum -- https://www.waterfoxproject.org/en-US/

Out of nowhere the idea came up to organize a rum tasting session on one of the HackWeek evenings. There will be some information about the actual production of rum provided, as well as the different kind of rum existing.

Project Description & Goal for this Hackweek

VSCodium is a feature rich text editor. The goal of this project is to find out which of its extensions to use for better DpcBook editing experience and how to add own features, for example, daps subcommands.

Project Description

You might recall that the SUSE (BCL) documentation team for HW21 offered a project called "EVERYONE can contribute to documentation – See how YOU can join the party". Even if this year, unfortunately, we are not able to host a live workshop event about documentation and how to interact with us, we would like to continuously push awareness that our invitation to contribute to open source and SUSE documentation NEVER expires :-).

Renew the Product Development Process to accommodating the Latest Standards
