Description

Already familiar with PHP, JSON, HTML and CSS and want to learn the non-technical skills needed to launch an entirely opensource project from scratch? If so this could be the perfect internship for you.

ONAP, the Open Network Automation Platform is the open source project that has transformed the telecommunications industry forever and is a key component of the 5G story. But don't worry, this internship does not require any background or knowledge of the network or telecommunications industry. It is instead about a web application and open source itself.

The ONAP Architecture Navigator (ArchNav for short) is a web based application developed by Chaker Al-Hakim, the Chair of ONAP's Architecture Subcommittee. The ArchNav provides a dynamically generated dashboard for drilling down into ONAP's complex architecture structure and the myriad of relationships between ONAP's components, other open source projects and industry standards. The time has come to transition it from an experimental proof of concept and formalize it it as a key piece of ONAP's documentation, education and marketing efforts. In addition to the technical opportunity encompassed in the migration of the application itself, this internship also provides the candidate with an extremely unique project management and leadership opportunity in launching the Architecture Navigator as a brand new open source project under ONAP. In that context you will be working with Chaker Al-Hakim, the Architecture Subcommittee, members of the opensource community that will be contributing to and maintaining ArchNav and ultimately pitching the new project proposal directly to the ONAP Technical Steering Committee (TSC) for approval.

Learning Objectives

Considerations and requirements for a production grade web based application
Processed related to creating a new project in an opensource community

Expected Outcome

The ArchNav application is established as a formal production service within infrastructure managed by the Linux Foundation (minimum)
The current prototype instance of the application can be decommissioned with not adverse effects on the ONAP community
The Architecture Navigator is approved as an Incubation project by the ONAP TSC (ideal)
