OSAD HackDay 2019
Who
The day after the OSADs, it was time again for the development department to host a HackDay for the Foreman/Katello Open Source project at the ATIX headquarters.
As in the previous year, the aim was to create various pull requests for the Foreman project itself and its plugins. At least as important, however, was the mutual exchange of information about the technologies, workflows and software architectures used.
Of course, we were very pleased to have reinforcement from Brno again this year. This time we were able to welcome Adam, who provided us with help and advice and was our direct line to the core development team.
Developers from Sixt GmbH also joined in at short notice, and their open source SmartProxy plugin for address management via BlueCat was properly packaged and extended to include tests.
What
Among other things, we were able to take care of the following projects this year:
- Foreman SmartProxy BlueCat DHCP-Provider Plugin:
- Adding to the Foreman Software repositories (merged)
- Unit-Tests
- Foreman Saltstack Plugin Improvements
- Translating Foreman Plugins with Transifex
- For Foreman SCC-Manager (merged)
- For Foreman Snapshot Management
Special Thanks
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the hacking. Special thanks also go to Timo, who unfortunately could not be on site, but supported us by reviewing the produced code. Not to mention, of course, thanks to our management, who provided us with internet, pizza, sweets and coffee.
We are already looking forward to OSAD next year, which of course will be followed by another HackDay.
