List of Ideas for Internships
The OpenStack Foundation has multiple sources for internships, from Outreachy to Google Summer of Code and other opportunities. This page collects the ideas for candidate interns to work on.
Applicants may not have ever worked on FLOSS before and have different levels of competence. Since we have different programs, add here ideas that can be completed by inexperienced contributors, developers or other fields (marketing, communication, graphic design, and anything that may be useful for OpenStack and to include new people in this community).

OpenStack as a virtual Kubernetes node
Implement a virtual Kubernetes node that allows running containers/pods on OpenStack. Students applying to work on this will learn about Zun and Kubernetes, and will work on implemeting a whole new feature for Zun, which will include not only coding but also testing and documentation efforts. See https://github.com/virtual-kubelet/virtual-kubelet/issues/22 for more info on the requirement

Improve Cinder integration for Docker containers
Add support for Cinder volume multi-attach for Docker containers. Students willing to take this task will learn about Zun and Cinder. During the Ocata cycle a new flow for volume attaching has been implemented in Cinder. We want to make Zun leverage this new flow. Implementing this will require the student not only contribute with code, but also with testing and documentation for the feature. Check https://blueprints.launchpad.net/zun/+spec/cinder-volume-multi-attach for more details.

Help Implement Support for a Generic Backup Driver in Cinder
The goal is to create a generic backup driver that be used to turn any Cinder volume backend into a target for backups. This way, we won't need to implement specific backup driver for supported backends. Students picking this internship task will learn about Cinder and will be asked to contribute with testing and documentation of this feature. Refer to https://review.openstack.org/#/c/504099/1/specs/queens/generic-backup-implementation.rst for more detials
