SUSE will be holding it's traditional Hack Week from November 18th to
November 22nd (shifted by 2 days for me as a member of the L3 Support
team). This year I will devote my project to dmidecode and specifically
the addition of a machine-readable output. You can read the project
summary at:

https://hackweek.opensuse.org/24/projects/add-a-machine-readable-output-to-dmidecode

Obviously the idea is to leverage the work you have already done.

If you have some time availability during that period, so that we can
have a fast review and discussion cycle, that would be wonderful. If
not, you can still catch up afterward, but it may not be as efficient
as my own availability after the Hack Week is over will be lower.

Thanks,
