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).

Pluggable Data Sources for Sahara
OpenStack Sahara's data sources allow users to specify locations which elastic data processing jobs can use for input and output (such as HDFS, Swift, and Manila). At present, the set of allowable data sources is hardcoded into the application. Using the Stevedore plugin framework, you will redesign the way Sahara jobs interact with data sources to allow developers to easily "plug in" new data sources and have them work reasonably seamlessly. Note that if you are able to complete this task quickly, you can move on to make other EDP components pluggable as well, including job types (like Java, MapReduce, and Spark) and job engines (like Oozie, Spark, and Storm.) Completing this task would be a huge improvement for the ease with which developers can understand and extend Sahara's EDP framework.
Difficulty | Medium |
Topics | Major topics include:
(Note that the last three here are foundational skills for any engineer; they take a lot of practice even if you understand the concepts, but any seasoned engineer understands that team members who excel at these skills are incredibly valuable.) |
Required skills | Python |
Extra skills | Unit testing |
