Revive (web)pin for openSUSE
a record by lrupp
Which package currently provides libfoo.so.6 ? A question for/from packagers and currently not easy to answer, even if the Build Service might know about the content of packages inside a repository as he created the nice filelist.gz files inside the repomd directories with all the needed information already.
MirrorPinky
a project by darix
A web frontend for the mirrors in the mirrorbrain database to allow the mirror admins to manage their entries themself. You might know MirrorBrain already: our download redirector and Torrent/Metalink generator used u.a. on download.opensuse.org. It's really a great tool that plays a hidden key role inside the openSUSE infrastructure.

Merge hermes into OBS API

After https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/105 the next thing to merge is hermes. Use ActionMailer for events
Create new mirror-script package
a project by mcaj
I`d like to create new set of tools for mirroring ISOs and repositories from "master" server to slaves/mirrors. ATM we are using very old and buggy set of internal tools. scripts are written in several different languages (bash, perl, python) and on always easy to undigested their purpose.
orthos.arch.suse.de uses shared password for root on hosts.

Shared passwords are evil
Debconf Done Right For SUSE
an idea by osynge
Usecases
- Puppet Chef and similar tools are for Admins to Enforce state, but this is too forceful for a distribution wanting to allow admins to override our settings.
openSUSE Landing Page Prototype
a project by hennevogel
www.opensuse.org is the single most accessed page in the SUSE/openSUSE universe. With 1.5 million visits per month it generates 2.5 million page views and has around 500 people on the page at any given time. Yet it's one of the oldest, crufty pages we have! It doesn't concentrate on what it should do: Tell people about the distro so they download it. It's design is 5 years old, it's not mobile, it's not accessible. There is absolutely no interactive, engaging content at all and the technology used goes as far as a shell script/cron to update dynamic content.
Dochazka
a project by smithfarm
Dochazka is a long-term project to replace the obsolete Attendance & Time Tracking system used by the Prague office since 2007. Dochazka is a complex system consisting of three major components: - RESTful backend App::Dochazka::REST (with lots of help from Web::MREST)
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.
Upgrade planet.opensuse.org
a project by lrupp
While in general everything still works, the current (patached/extended) planet installation behind planet.opensuse.org is a bit outdated and not maintained any more. The initial plan is to:
software.opensuse.org
an idea by lrupp
Getting more knowledge around the tools that drive the web page behind software.opensuse.org - and maybe trying to solve some issues reported on https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o
Improve the openSUSE infrastructure
a project by lrupp
There is a lot to do in the openSUSE infrastructure land... So let's start, have a look at https://progress.opensuse.org/, take some tickets and try to resolve them as good as possible. There are also other interesting topics:
Improve our 3D printers
a project by lrupp
Currently we have two sponsored 3D printers available in the Nuremberg office. Both are located in a lab - which makes it hard to access them. Both also need some (hardware) maintenance. This (hopefully short) side project should make the printers more usable and accessible for others.
Playing with ESP8266
an invention by lrupp
The ESP8266 is a low-cost WI-Fi microchip with full TCP/IP stack and microcontroller capability. I want to explore the features and (in case of success) attach a BME280 to get temperature, humidity and barometric pressure information streamed over WI-Fi. As the price of both components is just around 10 EUR, this would be a nice add-on for my weather station at home...
Improve openSUSE infrastructure
a project by lrupp
There is always something to do if you run the infrastructure for such a big project like openSUSE.... Our Admin wiki currently lists over 80 machines - and while we already "salted" some of them, there is always room for improvement and room to learn something new just by making your hands dirty and diving into the administrator role for a machine.
