HackWeek

A tool to nurture hack ideas into projects and then collaborate on them. It's used during SUSEs hackweek, a week where SUSE engineers 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) must be installed. No need to configure and launch it separately, everything will be taken care of with rake ts:regenerate.

Hack it

As our project involves somewhat complicated setup (MySQL and Shpinx search) for a development environment, we have created Vagrantfile to get you up and running.

  1. Install VirtualBox and vagrant
  2. Install vagrant-exec plugin:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-exec
  1. Start our openSUSE 42.3 based virtual machine with vagrant
vagrant up
  1. Launch the application
vagrant exec foreman start
  1. Access the appliaction as usual
xdg-open http://localhost:3000
  1. Start hacking
  2. Test your changes
vagrant exec rspec
  1. Send pull request
  2. $UCCE$$

Remote connection to the virtual machine is available with vagrant ssh. You can run single-shot remote commands like vagrant exec rake db:migrate. If you are done hacking you can stop the virtual machine with vagrant halt and remove all traces of it with vagrant destroy.
