This work expands on existing efforts done within the project to maintain references between resources (and control which operations are possible at which time), with the ideal end-goal of making it impossible to get EMCO in a non-recoverable state.

Learning Objectives
- Understand the value of presenting and brainstorming ideas towards common goals
- Experience and learn best practices in version control, open source and the review process, using git and GitLab
- Achieving data integrity and deterministic state machines in a distributed system
Expected Outcome
The very first task (<1 week) will be to run the upstream examples and attempt to break the internal state of EMCO by modifying them, making API calls out of order, or proving incorrect parameters.

Relation to LF Networking
Education Level
The student is required to be enrolled in an undergraduate program (BS or MS).
Skills
The following skills are desired in the student candidate:
- Linux and the common shells/shell scripting languages.
- Go lang (or similar programming languages as long as comfortable with them).
- Experience with databases and data stores.
- Good understanding of boolean logic and mathematical logical systems.
- Good mental model of software interfaces and RESTful APIs.
- Mindset: self-driven and highly-motivated to troubleshoot, solve problems and learn.
Future plans
With a solid data integrity as the backbone of EMCO, the project will be able to move faster when it comes to implementing new features, reducing the time it takes to guarantee that the new feature won't break existing data integrity/consistency/lifecycle considerations, since there will be a clearer contract between user intent and the actual state of EMCO.
In the future, other database backends and event streaming technologies may be plugged into EMCO, reusing data integrity considerations and code.
Preferred Hours and Length of Internship
The preferred length of internship is Part-time (20 hours a week for 24 weeks starting in early-summer and ending in late-fall).
...
Working hours are flexible but the intern should try to be reachable and responsive throughout 9am-4pm (pacific time) since that's when the team is most active.
