QA Dashboard - provide a easy overview of the quality status of a product in development
a project by xgonzo
QA uses a dashboard (SUSE internal: http://qa.suse.de/dashboard/ ) to provide an overview of various data to assess the quality of a product. The project is about improving the available data points and the usability for users outside of QA department.
Resistance is Futile - Using zypper to "upgrade" CentOS/RHEL to openSUSE/SLES
a project by RBrownSUSE
zypper is magic
A number of experiments suggest that it may be feasible to run zypper from an openSUSE 'live' media against a 'foreign' RPM based OS installation (eg. CentOS) and then 'zypper dup' to openSUSE

Warp speed for virtualization CI testing
a project by jfehlig
The virtualization team's automated testing has a long history. It was born in the old Novell Integration Test framework. The virtualization lab ran an instance of this framework for many years. Over time, those who knew the framework left the company, taking their knowledge and leaving little documentation behind. As our testing needs increased, we found the old framework insufficient, but saw little value in improving it given the available open source CI frameworks. Before burying ourselves in SLE12 development, we took some time to move our automated tests under control of a Jenkins instance running in our lab. Tests were configured to run when new packages landed in our SLE12 devel project, ensuring our queued SLE12 submissions were continuously tested. But more is needed.
Hamsta plugin: Tasks Distributed Scheduling Execution
an idea by bwliu
A series of tasks are automatically distributed on several machines. It can greatly reduce more running time than using just one machine. For example:
NFC login on openSUSE
a project by acho-novell
Using NFC(Near field communication) tag / phone Lock and Unlock ( replace password login ) on openSUSE with Gnome.
Automatic performance analytical framework and dashboard
an idea by mgorman
My last hackweek project was "melbot", a server-side automated system for running performance tests. This went from being a project to something the performance team now uses heavily. The volume of data it now produces is excessive and problems are easily missed. It's a short hackweek for me due to being on holiday for two of the days but there are three objectives to the hackweek project 1. Rename melbot to marvin. The melbot name was a joke that has outlived its usefulness
Zypper dup migration from sle11-sp3 to sle12
an idea by oertel
During all of sle10 and sle11 it was possible to do a migration via zypper dup from one to the next service packs (and with some care even from sle10 to sle11). Due to some dependency problems this is currently not possible from sle11-sp3 to sle12. A official upgrade via installation media would blow up our nice small jeos installations from 300 to over 900 packages, which is undesirable as well. Currently I'm trying to get this running via a sle12 rpm source built on sle11 (plus some dependencies), next step is probably to get enough of libzypp and yast parts, not sure yet where exactly this is heading.

SSDBoost
a project by hrommel1
If you want to use the full potential of SSDs as primary (and possibly only) storage on SLE or openSUSE systems, you are supposed to perform several configuration settings to make it fly, including: - changing the io scheduler of the device to noop or deadline
openSUSE image for Scaleway cloud (arm based and leveraging docker)
a project by pgonin
Scaleway is a newly opened Cloud based in France (for now) offering ARM based servers. Those are BareMetal SSD cloud servers. They offer a range of operating systems to pick from (Debian, Ubuntu, ArchLinux...) as well as 'application images' (Docker, ownCloud...) but no openSUSE image yet.
Test openQA in openQA with openQA using openQA for openQA
a project by RBrownSUSE
Occasionally, new versions of openQA break things. How do you stop that? MORE TESTING! Testing openQA by using openQA to ensure the new versions don't break should be a good example of how openQA can test everything and anything, even itself.
Bare metal testing in OpenQA
an invention by kwk
OpenQA uses the VNC protocol to interface with a test system. This limits test systems to be virtualized. Bare metal (physical) systems do not provide VNC out-of-the-box.
openQA webVTT subtitles
a project by bmwiedemann
The webVTT standard (nearly the same as the older SRT subtitles) allows to add subtitles to a video. We could use this in openQA to show which keys were pressed at that point in the video, in which line of code we were or on what event we waited. This could make debugging easier and might be instructive to users, too.

QA Lab automated inventory
an idea by sebchlad
Problem: QA Labs need some inventory from time to time. Usually people are busy and this tasks has lower priority. Effectively it means there is some mess in QALabs. Solution: set of tools to make inventory easy and perhaps automated.
learning openQA and writing test
an idea by rdodopoulos
openQA seems to be increasingly used within SUSE. My primary aim is to learn the tool well. In addition, I want to start writing tests that could be, eventually, integrated into the automatic openQA tests of QAM. Currently, I'm trying to test ImageMagick (updates) in openQA.
QA Portal
a project by maritawerner
QA wants to set up a new QA Portal to get an new organized entry point for all Information that is QA related. The Hackweek Project is to start a discussion with the different QA groups, SLE QA, CSS QA and QAM to collect ideas and make a concrete plan.
Windows 10 in openQA
a project by lnussel
To make sure openSUSE can coexist nicely with an existing Windows installation, we need to have automated regression testing. UEFI and secure boot are especially interesting.That means installing Windows and openSUSE in parallel in openQA. Instead of just uploading some prepared hard disk image, openQA should ideally install Windows itself and save the generated image. In a second run openQA can then install the latest Leap or TW on that disk image.

Setup UEFI HTTPBoot with OVMF and try to write/run test on openQA
a project by bchou
HTTPBoot was added into UEFI SPEC since 2.5. It aims to replace PXE and provides more features. Actually, the concept of HTTPBoot is similar to PXE. It starts with the HTTP URL from the DHCP server and fetches the data with the HTTP protocol. The key difference between HTTPBoot and PXE is the support of DNS. With DNS, the firmware and the bootloader can resolve the domain name so it's possible to pass the well-known URL to download the image instead of the explicit IP URL. Besides, HTTP is designed to cross different domains, while tftp (PXE) is only for the local network. Part1:

Mission: Our company org chart consists mostly of teams + their project managers. teams.suse.com is an application that gives an overview about the various SUSE team resources like org-chart, office locations, mission descriptions, links to team pages/blogs etc. It should combine the various data sources that are already there (eguide, floor, externaltools etc.) and provide a way to enrich this data.
Brainstorming about Continuous Delivery in SLE
a project by pgeorgiadis
Hackweek is here! I think this is the best week of the year to sit down altogether and exchange ideas and suggestions. The main topic is Automation. The goal is that many of these ideas might help various teams within SUSE to engage their business reasons better in defining key expectations and improve the quality of our software products. No fear of change -- the aim is to propose a modern pipeline in a less-invasive manner. Everybody has an idea, everybody has a voice! Brainstorming together can be useful to many different roles, including testers, analysts and developers. Let's have a chit-chat and write down some of those; Hopefully we will come up with plenty of tips on how to organise testing activities better. > Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is a progress. Working together is a success. - Henry Ford

Finish Making a grub-ipxe package for opensuse like Ubuntu has
a project by blarson
In ubuntu, you can install grub-ipxe, which adds an ipxe entry to the grub menu. This allows you to easily pxe boot on machines that may not natively support it. You can also use it along with grub2-reboot to remotely re-image a machine. The project has been started here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:blarson:grub-ipxe It needs to be tested, and polished before trying to include it into opensuse.
Distributed FS for openQA
an invention by oholecek
For far too long openQA instances are crippled by insufficient I/O throughput when under heavy load. This results in incomplete and aborted tests prolonging new snapshots testing and also adding confusion into the release process. OpenQA itself doesn't require any exact technology for its remote workers, but so far we relied on NFS. This was fine for few workers, now with 50+ of them this stopped to be a viable route however. There are some custom made mitigations like rsyncing tests, assets and needles before the actual test job run, but this feels like reinventing the wheel to me.

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. Ideally the new toolset should allow to organize a complete keysigning party, e.g. it should assist the organizer with:
Sat solve product dependencies on the server
a project by wstephenson
Overview
With the recent explosion of product extensions, modules, bases, the decomposition of monolithic base products into modules, and the amount of churn in product composition between releases, the task of calculating product dependencies and migrations between products has approached the complexity of package management. We have a state of the art tool for solving package dependencies, so why not apply it to the new domain?

SUSE @home Hands On Lab
a project by johnmpugh
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.
