We kicked off our intern program earlier this year and are pleased to welcome our very first OPNFV interns! They work directly with the community and receive hands-on development experience in NFV. Each intern works closely with an active OPNFV developer as their mentor on a project that suited interest and community need. This blog series aims to showcase these interns and the projects they work on, the mentors who are helping with their professional development, and their experience working in an open source community to help accelerate NFV.

In Her Own Words
We had a chance to chat with Zahra during LinuxCon earlier this year and caught it on video. Hear from Zahra directly about how she got started, her work on the Pharos labs to deploy Juju and MAAS, and what it’s like to work in the OPNFV community.
