Plans of the Project

After some time I would like to move KF5 translation ahead again.

Behavior-Driven Development is a process to follow in software development. I want to learn how BDD testing framework works. Learn how the pieces fall together and how frameworks are put together, as well as best practice of BDD.

There are a lot of good dictionaries in Mobi format (Thanks to Kindle) but none of the dictionary applications support it. But thanks to libmobi one can parse mobi files and extract the relevant data. This project is basically writing a gui (with Qt5) on top of libmobi for mobi dictionary files.

The following improvements for kanku are planned:

Desktop notifications

Objective

The goal of this project is to extend and consolidate the tools used by the Emergency Update Team. - Port some of our tools to the maintenance API

Linux process scheduler is the core of the Linux operating system,and it will directly affect the accuracy and stability of the Linux operating system is running. I want to deep in Process Scheduling Performance test method and tools.

Being part of SUSE's Storage Team I frequently talk about our Deployment tool called Deepsea. Participants/Customers/Partners like the solution we provide to deploy and manage ceph but tend to struggle with a core piece. The policy.cfg [0]

Automate analysis of zypper logs using the elastic stack Goals

Problem

This would be a multiple step solution, a first idea that I would explore would be: 1. Query Florian's qam_reposervice API from RRID to base products and modules needed for update

I would like to work mainly on https://fate.suse.com/323638, think of default configuration and perhaps create a small configuration script for conky.

This is a UEFI only device where openSUSE does not boot, hanging after loading the kernel and the initramfs even disabling secure boot. The goal of this project is to learn as much as possible about UEFI, secure boot and finally install openSUSE on this device.

We have a known defect exists in Staging Project process, according to the staging project design(in-ring/non-ring), the requests of a application stack can be dispatched to letter staging and adi staging both, in case the request staged in adi staging relies the request staged in letter staging which may causes sometimes the request in adi staging will not be checked-in at the same round, this leads that application stack have different version in TW and those package had request left in adi staging may does not work well as version unmatched to other library. We see this issue happened on Qt5 stack; KDE Applications, etc. For example: a Qt5 stack update, libqt5-qtbase will be staged in a letter staging however libqt5-qtwebview will be staged in a adi staging, once libqt5-qtbase be accepted that libqt5-qtwebview won't be accept in the same round due to it can not be built before libqt5-qtbase merged to Factory but after - 2-phase update. Therefore we need a way to handle those cases to reduce the gap between Letter staging and ADI staging. The concept of this idea:

Currently I am using openSUSE Leap 42.2 as base system on the laptop where I do my daily work (Dell Latitude E7470). As a YaST developer my system is a bit broken (as you may guess) and updates are not possible. So it is time to start from scratch. The idea is to adopt some user friendly system for security copies, migrate to Tumbleweed, make extensible usage of virtual machines and try to stay the base system as clean as possible.

See title

I intend to create opensuse docker images ready for mining cryptocurrencies (cpu based algorithms like cryptonight as a first try), and if time permits, I will also try to deploy the containers using kubernetes.

Improve the progress made with the GfxTablet last year https://github.com/Devp00l/GfxTablet / https://hackweek.suse.com/16/projects/turn-an-android-tablet-into-a-drawing-tablet. TODO:

I'd like to learn Docker and Kubernetes. I'd also like to learn about AWS so I'll use that platform using the free tier account.

I have a small tool called comparepkglist.py[1] which comparing packages between two build service project and it able to show the diff of package, this tool helps me to understand how many package I've missed and missing updates, it needs an improvement of the output format; show new package only; always check linkinfo; etc. [1] https://github.com/openSUSE/osc-plugin-factory/blob/master/comparepkglist.py

I want to watch birds at the birdfeeder on my balcony. Motion is a great tool for video4linux cameras to do that, but the quality is not so good.

Employ apache-rex instead.

This project is a POC to create an iSCSI driver for the Ceph backend for Cinder. There are a few use cases that would make it nice to be able to attach a ceph volume as an iSCSI target.

Rust Emacs clone (sort of), see README for details.

A nice project for enhancing the winter time: Download Model

kCFI is a tool that enables the compilation of commodity Operating Systems with Control-Flow Integrity protection. kCFI first prototype was developed/implemented during a PhD program held in the University of Campinas, in Brazil. Although fully functional, the tool remains in a very experimental shape, needing to be refactored prior to being released. As kCFI consists in multiple tools, which include compiler plugins, kernel patches and binary analyzers, its deployment is considerably complex. Once code refactoring is finished, the next step consists in setting up proper repositories for the tool and for each submodule, along with scripts and documentation to enable easy configuration and compilation on new environments.

Various improvements to Rocket.Chat, like - adding a IRC/Rocket.Chat gateway

I switch fairly often from working on my laptop alone to working on my laptop attached to the dock with several monitors, and I have to move my windows around every time I switch. I want a tool to save and load window/desktop location configurations. I've tried a few tools and scripts that either haven't worked or haven't worked to my liking. I propose to create a tool that will work for openSUSE.

I'm going to port coreboot to the Dell Latitude E6230 laptop and make it work. Dell Latitude E6230 has two SOIC-8 flash chips. The 4M one which contains the top part of the firmware can be read and programmed, while the 8M one is hard to access via ISP. I downloaded a 12MB ROM from a Google drive made by others.

Current virtualization requirements mainly come from fate, and I haven't got chance to try freely many features of qemu/libvirt. So I will try to play it.

Compared with traditional file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS), log-structured file systems treat its storage as a circular log and write sequentially to the head of the log. I want to learn about this kind of file system via this hack week, to understand how it manages its data and metadata, to understand how it recover back from crash, to understand its advantages and disadvantages.

See how other distros do and solve things and what we can probably learn from them (or where we offer better solutions).

A course on Edx -- "Cloud Computing Infrastructure" -- looks very interesting. I want to spend this hackweek to "systematically" learn more about "cloud computing"

Volumio is a great, Linux based, open source music player for Raspberry PI and x86. Currently it only supports its own playlist format which is basically a json file. So I want to add support for the main playlist file formats to be parsed and converted to volumio playlists.

As live migration is widely used in many scenarios nowadays, spend one week time to study it and try to improve its efficiency, e.g. seamlessly migrate with less downgrading the guest. Another challenging part is memory migration, as it involves the dirty memory's detection, record and copy.

During testing virtualization , I usually met some issue and can not position the issue location (host or guest), so I would like to deeply learn QEMU code, card the work flow, understand communication mechanism between host and guest. Targets:

Learning design model can help to produce high quality codes, which will benefit our products. I'll do it mainly by reading "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software".

Learn Vim by reading book of Practical Vim

FIPS 140-2 , The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2, (FIPS PUB 140-2), is a U.S. government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic modules. The title is Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules.

I'm planning to do some research about RV32E which has only 16 GPRs, but riscv-pk doesn't have RV32E support so that the RV32E aware GCC (https://github.com/kito-cheng/riscv-gcc/tree/riscv-next) cannot build riscv-pk. I'm going to study how the proxy kernel works so that I can do some modification to let it support RV32E.

A week of learning, improving and playing with some of the relatively new front-end stacks and patterns. * Angular 2+

since i am learning golang, i will make some contributions for the upstream project we used already @suse https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt

Functionality

I planned to write a GUI for mokutil since I started the project. I guess now it's time to do that.

The theory behind the partitioning proposal of yast2-storage-ng is that all possible distributions of partitions in the disk are evaluated and the best one, according to this criteria, is chosen. But I have found several examples in which is hard believe that the result is actually the optimal distribution of partitions. So I want to invest some time checking if the error is on my side and the code is indeed proposing the best solution and, if that's not the case, improving the decision making of the code.

I will implement the ReaR upstream issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1399

Crystal [1] is a new language with a syntax heavily inspired by Ruby, but with statically type check and compiled! Its motto is "Fast as C, slick as Ruby", so good reason to start looking at it. I would like to play with it, check the powerful of its compiler and the C-bindings mechanism to call native libraries.

During regular L3 work I often don't find enough time to work on the command line disk partitioner parted which I maintain. Changes often directly affect yast-storage(-ng) and libstorage(-ng). @aschnell opens bugs faster than I can solve them. Upstream is often slow and often wants patches differently.

need to learn more about containers

The YaST2 Network module manages network configuration including device configuration, DNS, Routing etc.. The current code is not very object oriented and in many cases there is not a good separation between the business logic and the presentation. The API is also not very clear an many people get confused for example between NetworkInterfaces (class that handles with the ifcfg-files and reside in yast-yast2) and LanItems.

Back in the day, I enjoyed coding on 8 bit machines, mostly MSX. There is now a Kickstarted project to create a successor machine with some new features: hardware sprites, hardware scrolling, better sound, integrated SD/MMC IO and an ESP8266 for networking. I will be spending HackWeek 0x10 exploring these new features via Z80 assembly.

The ZSTD is a new compression method, potential replacement for existing methods. The support has been added to linux 4.14, but the bootloader support is missing. Goals:

What if Salt Minions no longer need to specify the IP or DNS address for the Master? Or even better: Master(s) can call minions. Of course, for the beginning, we would assume the network is trusted. But we should be able to add further security checks (keypairs etc). Possible use cases:

Oficina, a mechanical workshop application developed in Qt/C++ Hackweek 17: Work on TODO - Test. Make it very stable, after that, insert it in openQA.

This was planned for previous hackweek (hw16-1) => Automated deployment of virtualization hosts and build up of virtual machines for xen+kvm+related tool testing.

We need to package avocado, get it into distro and migrate some of our testsuites from ctcs2. Atm avocado is present in openSUSE:Factory and Backports exist at my home project

From the mediagoblin.org website: "MediaGoblin is a free software media publishing platform that anyone can run. You can think of it as a decentralized alternative to Flickr, YouTube, SoundCloud, etc."

port notmuch/muchsync to android, with some java ui on top

What is HRV ?

HRV is a method for measuring the ability of your heart to respond to inner and outer levels of stress.

Take some online classes for penetration testing tools and then practice using them. The goal is to learn enough to provide some value for pen testing of real products. Originally I was hoping to have a real cloud to pen test, but that appears unlikely so I plan to set up an Apache web server instead as the system under test. It won't matter much as the goal is to learn to use the tools.

A pocket operating system,can be burned in a usb stick. Not the live usb,you can save all your changes in this.
