Title

ONAP Architecture Navigator Web Application

Status

PENDING TSC REVIEW

Difficulty

LOW 


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 ArchNav from an experimental Proof Of Concept (PoC) in the lab 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 to be a production service, 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.
