1  Motivation

   ONAP Internship is for University or College students who are interested in contributing to the ONAP project. Each intern will be working with a mentor in the ONAP community to complete a project either in 3 months (full time 40 hours a week) or 6 months (part time 20 hours a week). This is a paid internship program and the internship project can start throughout the year. As an open source project, each intern will work remotely from his or her location of choice. And, we welcome interns from anywhere in the world. 

   ONAP is now part of the Linux Foundation Networking group. For information on internship programs under the LF Networking umbrella, please visit here. 

    In order to kick off the ONAP intern program, we need first to settle down the program structure and several practical issues.
    This page is to host the TSC discussion for this purpose.

2  Discussion

2.1  Proposed Selection Cycle

As a starting point, it is recommended to take the OPNFV internship program as an example, which is based on the OPNFV’s selection cycle, as the basic building blocks.

The following is the proposed ONAP internship proposal selection cycle, which consists of three processes, including : schedule of selection cycles; internship project proposal collection, review and selection; candidate recruiting.

2.2  Pre-work before Kicking off

  • Timeline 
    TSC to decide many cycles do we want to execute once a year and when we should target to start selection cycle in 2019.  

  • Budge
    Budget will determine how many interns and/or cycles we could take throughout the year.

  • People
    A selection group should be formed before starting the cycle.

  • Tools
    Wiki pages for internship program (introduction, proposal submision/status tracking, candidate recruiting, executing tracking) need to be in place before starting the cycle.
