I'm not saying there is, but if there was a possibility for a hackathon are
there any ideas out there that would be of interest?  Some things off the
top of my head would be...

Updated simulation model
remote python scripts to collect thermal data from the host
Redfish dbus discovery
bmc swarm... talk dbus over multiple BMCs
System XML builder
OpenStack Ironic pluggin


Ideas wouldn't need to be limited to the BMC ofcourse any interactions with
the host firmware would also be candidate

op-test-framework integration.

I have the most basic of basic bits of OpenBMC support:
https://github.com/open-power/op-test-framework/blob/master/common/OpTestOpenBMC.py

but it lacks support for literally everything except getting access to
host console.

The reality is, if we're going to ship OpenBMC based OpenPOWER machines,
we need to be able to test them with our automated tests, which means
either the current REST API has to be consumed, or something like
RedFish needs to happen (and be consumed).

It could be helpful to have the OPAL test teams work alongside OpenBMC
dev on this and a good view into the world of living with OpenBMC?

Missing kernel drivers:

 - USB slave (UDC)
 - USB Host (OHCI/EHCI)
 - Video compression engine
 - Video capture
 - Framebuffer via drmfb
 - etc...

I have a one-line-command util to upload and update OBMC image, which
needs to be
refactored so it fits different usages and handles different errors.
I can work on this during the "possible" hackathon.

Thanks. I added your suggestions to the list here:
