SUSE Hack Week tools and data

HackWeek

A tool to nurture hack ideas into projects and then collaborate on them. It's used during SUSE's hackweek, a week where SUSE employees can experiment without limits and get their opportunity to innovate, collaborate across teams, and learn.

Features

• Admins can add hackweeks
• Users create ideas for a hackweek
• Users can like and comment on ideas
• Users can join ideas turning them into projects
• Users can supplement projects with files, links, agenda items and "needs"
• Users can supplement themselves with "haves"
• Ideas/Projects "needs" are matched to Users "haves"
• Admins can rate project results

Requirements

Sphinx (searchd) and MariaDB must be installed and running. No need to configure and launch Sphinx separately, everything will be taken care of with rake ts:regenerate.

Hack it

You can run the development environment with foreman start -p 3000. As our project involves somewhat complicated setup (MySQL and Sphinx search) for a development environment, we have created a Docker Compose setup to get you up and running.

1. Since we mount the hackweek repository into our container, we need to map your local user id to the one of the container user. Otherwise files created inside the container might not be writeable. If your user id (id -u) is something else than 1000, then copy the docker-compose.override.yml file and set your user id number in the variable CONTAINER_USERID.

   cp docker-compose.override.yml.example docker-compose.override.yml
   vi docker-compose.override.yml
   

2. Set up the development environment:

   docker-compose run --rm hackweek bundle exec rake dev:bootstrap
   

3. Start the development environment:

   docker-compose up --build
   

4. Access the application as usual:

   xdg-open http://0.0.0.0:3000
   

5. Start hacking
6. Test your changes

   docker-compose exec hackweek rspec
   

7. Send pull request
8. $UCCE$$

"Remote" connection to the container is available with docker-compose exec hackweek /bin/bash. You can run single-shot remote commands like docker-compose exec hackweek rake db:migrate.

Resources

• Design mockups of the Rails app are in the design directory.
• There are some tools in the tool directory.
• Data of past hackweeks is in the archive directory.

hackweek's Issues

Adding/Removing keywords has wrong CSRF key

Must be something selectize.js related. Disabled the check for now

Login and afterwards whole site doesn't work

Tried to login and since then I can't even see the webpage, it just says:

We're sorry, but something went wrong.

How about you file an issue on github and let us know what you did? That would be AWESOME!

So I'm here :-)

links are not clickable in terminal mode

geeko@hackweek:~/projects > cat list
https://github.com/SUSE/hackweek/wiki/_pages
geeko@hackweek:~/projects > cat info
https://github.com/SUSE/hackweek/wiki
geeko@hackweek:~/projects > cat create
https://github.com/SUSE/hackweek/wiki#creating-project-pages

"What is Hack Week" page is missing

The page with the general info about Hack Week is missing. The link in the navigation goes to the wrong page.

Get rid of the gallery, integrate instagram

In gallery, all the pictures seem to be loaded at the same time. Loading images "when they are needed" is more suitable, as it doesn't eat that much CPU and RAM by default. Try searching for pictures using Google - that's what I mean.

Broken link to projects page on https://hackweek.suse.com/front/howto

In the second paragraph there is a link "/projects", which looks odd, and doesn't work.

Please add list navigation, if easily doable

Browsing the projects list would be easier with a [NEXT] , [PREV] buttons. Easy?

Opening terminal scrolls down page a little bit

When opening the terminal the page gets scrolled down a little bit, but it doesn't get scrolled back when the terminal is closed again. Doing this multiple times creates a pretty broken display.

Projects :has_one hackweek

Add the notion of different hack week to projects. This way, when a new hack week starts stuff can phase out and we don't end up with a big pile of projects. Should be user editable of course.

Location missing

Please add Curitiba, Brazil.

Location Missing

You can add some France location: Paris/Grenoble/Toulouse

Thanks.

barcelona is missing :)

NO WRISTBAND, NO HACKWEEK! -- looks like a button

"Create New" is a button, "NO WRISTBAND, NO HACKWEEK!" uses similar theme and also LOOKS like a button, it even has a correct shape for a button. I myself wanted to click on it, but it's just a label. Please, Don't Make Me Think.

username is not shown in the comments

In a comment, the username is not shown. It makes it hard to recognize people when no gravatar is set. The only way to view the username is by the img-alt text in the gravatar. A suggestion would be to put the username next to the date

Can't enter new project

Filling the title and details, then click on 'save' leads me to "Something went wrong, please file an issue".

Yes, I tried multiple times, all with identical results.

Deploys as root

it' shouldn't

A user :has_many roles

We should add the "organizer" role which can enter a hackweek start date into the tool and rate projects for the awards.

Unable to add myself to my hackweek project

As per summary when I try to add myself to https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/67 it fails to do so stating that I should report a bug.

Problem is that openSUSE team is having the hackweek next week so we need to add ourselves to the projects we want to work on.

Any ideas whats wrong?

hackweek.suse.de should be an alias to hackweek.suse.com

if possible.
mls needed 3 attempts to notice the difference.

Error when removing keywords containing a dot (".")

I reach the "something went wrong" page everytime I try to remove a keyword from a project that contains a dot, in my case it was "angular.js". I only wanted to remove it in oder to recreate it without the dot, actually. Removing other keywords works fine.

Background makes text hard to read

The background with the small dots makes the texts hard to read. A plain very light grey background would work better.

I can edit project 29, why?

For almost all projects, keywords and text can only be edited by the originator of the project. Not so for project 29, originated by yaojia, here I can (logged in as jnweiger) edit everything.

News section should link to the newspapers

We don't produce nice online versions of The Daily Hack, but we have the PDFs.

Can we link the PDFs to the news section? Currently it shows articles from last hackweek. These should go away.

tuesday.pdf is available online at http://w3.suse.de/~jw/hackweek/

Comments should use Wiki style

Having Wiki style in comments would allow for embedded links just like this

[embedded links](https://hackweek.suse.com)

Improve wording. Skills are not necessarily 'mad skills'

Language seen on the right hand side of a project:

Hackers
looking for mad skills in:

(list (x)) (of (x)) (keywords (x))

I assume the word 'mad' is there to indicate humor. It does not work well in a multicultural context. Please remove.

UX: bottom-line navigation

Currently, the hackweek page has some navigation at the bottom, but it can easily scroll down, e.g., in Gallery or Projects. This is an usability issue.

If the navigation was fixed or elsewhere, it could fix the problem.

Show only current hackweek project in the "join a project" page

As per SUBJ we should not by default list all the HW10 projects in the join a project, there should be some "history" button to show these if someone wants to revive them.

Can't create a project

I have forgot to create a project page for my project. But after typing a text (including results with some formatting), I have got a response

We're sorry, but something went wrong.

How about you file an issue on github and let us know what you did? That would be AWESOME!

link to list of all projects

a link to the list of all projects seems be missing

Add a link to the bug tracker of the Hack Week application

It would be nice to have a link to the GitHub issue tracker in the footer of the Hack Week app or something like that, so that people who run into issues with the application have a common way how to report it.

When clicking on tag in project the rendering fails

As per SUBJ when I click on tag i get the "We are sorry but something failed page"

The link that caused it:
https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/79/episode?episode_id=10

Add a relevant open source/free software license please.

Is it intentional or just a mistake?

Deployment

Currently we manually deploy to a VM. We should use some tool. @cornelius you had picked one right? Which?

Navigation to project overview

At the moment there is no navigation link to the project overview. This makes it hard to see the list of projects. We do want to encourage collaboration, so we should feature the existing projects prominently.

I would suggest to:

• Put a link on the center of the home page, close to the "Create new" link.
• Add a link to the projects overview to the navigation header at the top of each page
• The Hack Week logo in the header should be a link to the home page, so you can get back from each page to the starting point, form where you reach everything else again,

https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/1/edit fails

hitting 'Update Project' button results in

We're sorry, but something went wrong.
How about you file an issue on github and let us know what you did? That would be AWESOME!

edits are lost.

London is missing from the map :)

I will be doing Hackweek from my home here in London. Also I guess @mmeeks will be participating?

terminal mode: > date is off by one month

Welcome to Hack Week 9! Have a lot of fun...
See 'help' for more information on a specific command.
geeko@hackweek:~ > date
18-8-2013
geeko@hackweek:~ >

according to man ctime:
tm_mon The number of months since January, in the range 0 to 11.

We need to add 1.

Desirable: proper ISO-Format.

Broken layout on howto page

https://hackweek.suse.com/front/howto

adding keyword to /projects/1 fails

https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/1
-> Add a keyword, hit
Save Keyword

-> A blank page is shown https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/1/keyword
keyword is not saved.

Project page should set the title of the project in the HTML title

Currently all HTML titles of projects pages are just "Hackweek". This could be improved by putting the title of the project into the page title as well, so that browsers show that on tabs etc.

Redirect /archive

Apparently /archive was often visited, we need to redirect it somewhere

User<=>Project matching based on the project description, not only keywords

The matching of projects to users should additionally to entered keywords work on the projects title/description.

when pressing "like" it refreshes the page

When pressing "like", the page gets refreshed, and redirects me back to /projects. If I am viewing the Idle projects, it gets me back to All projects.
Thus, I'd prefer to not have the page refreshed or scrolled to the top. (I believe it is hard to implement though, and I wouldn't consider it a big issue that needs to be fixed asap)

https://hackweek.suse.com/users/1 is broken

The user page of Henne /users/1 shows a 'we are sorry - something went wrong error'
The user page of Jürgen /users/9 works fine, though.

Taking place elsewhere in the world?

Can this hack week take place elsewhere in the world, such as Shanghai 🇨🇳?
Because I see it as below:

Your location is missing? Tell us where you are.

The website says it is for SUSE developers, but I am not sure if there are SUSE developers in Shanghai.

sharing site on facebook has 2 thumbnails: Cassio's face and a logo brainstorm graphics

Markdown is not rendered properly on projects list

On https://hackweek.suse.com/projects there are some links in markdown in the project description of the Hack Week tool, but they are not rendered as links.

Search

The search field should actually work instead of doing nothing 8-)

The last updated date on the project page is not updated

When I change the description of a project, the last updated date at the top of the project page isn't updated.
