  • Sample plan of work for the 12 week internship. What are milestones the
    intern should be hitting?
    -Week 1: Study briefly how Wireguard is supported on NetworkManager.
    -Week 2: Study how to query Wireguard interface information from kernel.
    -Week 3&4: Start the Nispor support implementation.
    -Week 5: Review of the Nispor wireguard support and amend changes.

@ffmancera Thanks for filing the ticket.
I am +1 to the idea.
@siddharthvipul1 @riecatnor WDY'all think?

Hi @ffmancera, looks great! Just a couple notes to polish it up :)

I think the area "Sample plan of work for the 12 week internship. What are milestones the intern should be hitting?" could use some additions. See here how I tried to map out each week for the internship: https://pagure.io/mentored-projects/issue/86 Try to think of some more of the steps that the intern will need to take. Research, testing, documentation, etc.

Also under "Benefits to intern (What will the intern get out of this internship)" I think these could be added on:
Confidence working in a professional environment.
A network of industry contacts.
Exposure to new skills.
Increased employability.
Exposure to world of open source

Done, thank you!

@ffmancera
thank you for proposing a great project
While this is a +1 from my side, I have a query.
From the projects proposed: number of slots perspective, can you select one of the projects (of this and #88)?
