What comes into my mind: - Packaging - Translation - wiki clean up - work on certain sw development (OBS, ARM support, openFate, YaST) - Marketing - QA - openSUSE infrastructure - openSUSE software portal From a date perspective - what about the week of April 20 - 25 ? I just created a wiki page, http://en.opensuse.org/Hackweek which might be useful to set up this hackweek.
