It's clear that in Kubernetes world, SUSE and openSUSE chose Cilium as the main network provider, which also means choosing BPF and XDP as underlying technologies for implementing datapath and packet filtering. That's different from what we are doing in OpenStack. SUSE OpenStack Cloud provides mostly Open vSwitch DPDK as a network solution.

At SUSE we've implemented a module on Salt called ansiblegate which allows to run and manage your Ansible clusters using Salt. This a very powerful module that bring lot of value to Salt when the users are planning on migrating or starting to use Salt and they already have an existing Ansible infrastructure.

In the past, some customers ever complained that OCFS2 file system performance went down when listing a big directory (e.g. include 400k files). According to my preliminary investigation, this performance problem is related to file system block allocation algorithm. Then, I want to look at the current mainstream file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS, etc) block allocation algorithms in this hack week, compare and analysis these algorithms advantages/disadvantages.

We kinda need more flexible PXE in Prague office, UEFI would also not hurt - so lets check what we can do to make it better. EDIT (ggherdovich):

1.Test to burn the opensuse kernel on Raspberry Pi and make it working. 2. Try to use Raspberry Pi to control some sensors.

I just recently started a new project which is meant to be a wrapper for OBS's API. The library is written in Ruby. https://github.com/mschnitzer/open-build-service-api

A lot of openSUSE bugs are filed with plenty details but without a specific assignee so often many days are lost between filing and a developer seeing the report. Instead of training a neuronal network to do artificial intelligence, this project focuses on the integration of how we can make useful proposals of assignments. It will probably use perl regexps for the start.
