After gathering the feedback of qam (transcription of brainstorming for problems and requirements), it's time to start fixing things. Let's build the first step of a shipping skeleton solution that addresses all of the problems listed in the aforementioned document. (draft)
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:
During Hack Week 7 I worked on an archive of Qt-based libraries. The goal was to easily make all available Qt libraries accessible to developers. Think CPAN for Qt. So I hacked on a web site and a command line client.
There was a little bit of progress on the project since then, but with the upcoming KDE Frameworks 5 there will be quite a number of additional libraries available for Qt developers. This should be well represented in Inqlude as well. The coverage of Inqlude is also still not complete, and the tooling needs some improvement as well, especially regarding integration with distributions.
The only Mediatek "hacker" board available is from 96 Boards [1]. Unfortunately up to now there is nearly no mainline support.
Idea would be to improve this situation. The idea would be to get the pin-controller merged first and then hopefully most of the other stuff can be just added (fingers crossed...)

Has no hacker:
grab it!
To implement OTR function on IRC client, to make chatting private.
pure-python-otr (potr) has lack of maintenance for a long time and been considered as "potentially insecure". So I will call libotr5 directly with C.
Parametrizable formulas is a normal salt module plus some metadata in order to interactively parametrize them. The metadata is used to automatically generate forms that are then injected as pillar data.
See original Hackweek project, SUSE Manager support for formulas blog article and its (internal for now) docs.
I promised to start this project way earlier, but I think Hackweek will be a great time to make a start.
The project once was called $BABELFISH, later "Rumsfeld", to honor the creator of the "Unknown unknowns" meme, now it's name is Maxfeld.
The purpose of this project is to implement an Android application which shows some images (or dice) which you must use to create a short story.
The requirements and desired features for the app are:
This is about porting the old KDE 3 based KDirstat to the latest Qt 5. KDirStat didn't use that much KDE infrastructure to begin with, and KDE seems to be more and more a moving target.

I want to create devel project for cryptocurrencies/mining tools/blockchain related stuff, fill it with packages and submit at least some of them to Tumbleweed.
Lets go on as Standa took care of creating network:cryptocurrencies
Design an ACS for the qam-sle pipeline (Phase 1)
Setup UEFI HTTPBoot with OVMF and try to write/run test on openQA
Inqlude, the Qt software archive
OTR (Off The Record) plugin development with libotr5 for encrypted chat
YaST module for (SUSE Manager) salt parametrizable formulas
Project Maxfeld: Cultural Onboarding to counter unknown unknowns
Your Story Dice
QDirStat - Qt-based directory statistics: KDirStat without any KDE, now based on Qt 5
Cryptocurencies in openSUSE
