* '''Title:''' More Packaging Automation
* '''Description:''' The OpenDaylight build pipeline has become increasingly automated over the life of the project, but there is more to done. As projects that consume OpenDaylight (like OPNFV) test release more frequently (approaching CI), OpenDaylight's build pipeline must provide new testable release artifacts more frequently (approaching CD). This is critical for cross-project integration, enabling OpenDaylight fixes to quickly be tested in downstreams.

The intern will augment existing automation to move OpenDaylight closer to Continuous Delivery.
* '''Additional Information:'''  Provide links to bugzilla entries, release-plan notes, and/or other web-references that would be helpful information to potential interns.
* '''Desirable Skills:'''  List both the skills needed and the tools to be used.  ie. Java programing  with working knowledge of OpenStack Neutron and the principals behind SDN, Openflow, and network overlays.  Experience with mininet and wireshark will also be very helpful.
* '''Expected Outcome:'''  List the deliverable(s) (features/application(s)/report(s) etc.) expected
* '''Difficultly:''' Easy/Medium/Hard
* '''Mentors:''' John Doe <john.doe@notarealemailaddress.com>, Jane Smith <JSmith@alsonotarealaddress.com>
* '''Additional Contacts:''' Identify the IRC channel(s) and mailing list(s) where potential interns can ask questions and further interact with members of OpenDaylight project they would be working with.
