"Last month, Novell decided to push the limits of developer empowerment and perform an elaborate experiment in innovation by liberating the company's entire Linux engineering team for one full week of free hacking. During Novell Hack Week, hundreds of skilled developers employed by Novell at various facilities around the world worked together on open-source projects of their choice. Driven by creativity and passion instead of deadlines, instructions, and executive decisions, Novell's best and brightest created impressive new software and added innovative improvements to existing programs."

There were lots of interesting ideas and concepts.
Official website is at http://idea.opensuse.org/content/ if you want to check out the ideas and code.
My favourites are:
- Giver, a very simple file sharing system, would be very useful when you're on the road and "just need" to send a file, instead of having to rely on flashdrives
http://idea.opensuse.org/content/ideas/easy-file-sharing
- Yast as a web-service
http://idea.opensuse.org/content/ideas/yast-as-a-webservice
- Desktop status awareness, in which you schedule tasks to run when you're out (downloads, updates, etc)
