Easy openSUSE Upgrade
a project by maverick74
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. Something like a notification with a button to perform the upgrade with just one-click, instead of having to deal with the terminal, that frights some new users and gives them the sensation of an outdated system.
gfxboot for grub2
a project by snwint
Make a final attempt to implement a graphical user interface for grub2 (gfxboot2).
It's quite some work, unfortunately. Here's what's done so far:
openSUSE on chromebooks (crouton)
an idea by mbrugger
Update for 2018 The only thing missing right now is a i386 Tumbleweed JeOS image. With that we should be good. Any help on that is highly appreciated.
Better support for Chromebooks
an idea by suntorytimed
Better support for Chromebooks Chromebooks do have very limited hardware in terms of storage and RAM. But it is still the cheapest solution to a truly open source notebook, as it allows to replace its coreboot based bootloader with your own coreboot and payload (f.e. Tiano Core or Seabios).
Full automation testing framework for KVM
a project by jnwang
So I have to build a tool for in full automation, when I work on KVM testing. The tool should be base on and compatible QASET (that is used currently in QA team.
Virtual GPU display support for Guest VM
a project by lyan
0 Background This will be a verification test for Intel i915, code has been merged into kernel 4.16 and qemu 2.12, will provide a setup manual as output.
Graphics support for SGI Octane
a project by tsbogend
With the approach of kernel 5.6 SGI Octanes are supported with builtin IO components. What's missing for a graphics workstation is a driver for the graphics card. There is already a not upstreamed framebuffer driver for Impact graphic cards. Since there will be no new framebuffer driver accepted upstream, the goal of this project is to convert the existing frame buffer driver to a DRM driver and make it ready to be sent upstream.
Support for DRM platform drivers
an invention by tdz
This project could get us rid of the last fbdev drivers we're stil shipping: efifb and vesafb. Platform drivers handle hardware that is not auto-detected, but somehow there. For graphics this would be VGA, VESA, or UEFI framebuffers. In SUSE Linux, we currently support VESA and UEFI with fbdev drivers. Those load early in the boot process and maintain graphics hardware until the actual driver takes over.
Port some classic game to Linux
a project by MDoucha
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. Write which games you'd like to hack on in the comments. Don't forget to check e.g. on Open Source Game Clones, Github and SourceForge whether the game is ported already.
Preserve SUSE's history
a project by fos
Project Description
SUSE dissolved an old warehouse, containing lots and lots of boxes with old SUSE / SuSE / S.u.S.E software. All of those boxes were originally going to be dumped in March 2021, which could be prevented.
DRM driver for USB-based SiS graphics cards
a project by tdz
Back in the late 90s to early 2000s, SiS graphics chips were fairly common and found in many low-end devices. Today, the chips are still capable enough for simple graphics needs, but the graphics cards were on PCI and AGP buses. They are not usable in modern computers. However, there exist USB-based graphics cards with a SiS 315 graphics chip. Those are around on Ebay et al [1] and easily usable with current computers. I already do have a driver for the old PCI-based SiS drivers and have long been struggling to find something useful to do with it. Converting it to serve USB devices would finally make it useful.
Create a DRM driver for Matrox desktop cards
an invention by tdz
(was: Create a DRM driver for Matrox G200) Even after 20 years, the Matrox G200 series is still an excellent 2d graphics card. Unfortunately, there's only an fbdev driver and a user-space driver. Both are obsolete, as modern Linux uses the DRM framework for managing graphics cards. There already is a DRM driver for the G200 server series. This driver is under-maintained and doesn't work with desktop chips.
Setup A Linux Cross Referencer for SUSE kernels
a project by tdz
Project Description
There's Elixir for browsing mainline Linux releases. We should set up a similar system for SUSE kernel releases.
Aperture: a simple game engine written in C based on OpenGL

This project was initially created for my graduation project. Currently, I've finished

Setup patchew instance for kernel mailinglists

Setup a patchew instance
patchew allows you to easily track patch series sent to a mailinglist and see the diff between the different series.
Create a graphic scene using Vulkan API
a project by jtorres
Project Description
Create a graphic scene where I can see a cube and maybe add to it some textures or modify its geometry.
early stage kdump support
a project by mbrugger
Project Description
When we experience a early boot crash, we are not able to analyze the kernel dump, as user-space wasn't able to load the crash system. The idea is to make the crash system compiled into the host kernel (think of initramfs) so that we can create a kernel dump really early in the boot process.
Create a DRM driver for VGA video cards
a project by tdz
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. VGA has a number of limitations, which make this project interesting.
