Scope

This event is a development-oriented Hackfest in the form of several self-contained challenges such as bug fixes, developing small features, writing unit tests, or automating end-to-end tests exercising some use case. Key members of the OSM community will mentor challenges.

The Hackfest will start on Monday, 12 June, and finish on Friday, 16 June. On Monday, some theory sessions will be provided, followed by a description of the different challenges to be completed throughout the week. Participants will select a challenge to work on individually or in pairs.

During the week, participants will code autonomously (individually or in pairs) to solve their challenges. Daily sessions will be scheduled with the mentors so that participants can ask questions and solve blocking points.

On Friday, participants will share their achievements and lessons learned with the OSM community.

All active participants will receive a Certificate of Participation. Certificates of Excellence will be awarded to all those participants that complete their challenge.

This event will be an opportunity for participants:

• Understanding the role of NFV Orchestration and OSM
• Understanding OSM architecture and relationship with ETSI NFV Specifications
• Getting familiar with OSM installation
• Understanding OSM development workflow, practices, and tools: Git, Tox, Gerrit, Jenkins...
• Understanding how to work in an open source project: contributing code, code reviews, automated testing...
• Developing a first-hand experience with code development in OSM
• Getting to meet and interact with crucial OSM community members.

Prerequisites

• Registration is mandatory!
• Participants are expected to have previous knowledge of Python.
• Experience with Git, Docker, Linux, Kubernetes, Openstack, and the Robot Framework for testing, will be a plus.
• Participants will need their laptop, while a remote lab environment will be provided. The recommended laptop operating system is Ubuntu 22.04, if participants want to use Linux or Windows 10 or higher.
  • Nevertheless, if participants want to run OSM on their laptops, the recommended system requirements are as follows:
    • 4 CPUs;
    • 12 GB of RAM;
    • 120 GB of disk free space.
• Participants will need an ETSI Online Account (if they work for an OSM Member or Participant) or an User/Contributor Account to file bug reports.

Recommended installation in Windows

• Python 3.10.
• Git.
• Program to access remote machines via SSH. Participants can now use SSH from PowerShell. Other alternatives are Putty or Mabaxterm.
