Outreachy - 2024 May - Prepare an internship guide with all the information applicants need to know

[jpkrohling]

I believe we have all the pieces scattered around, and I imagine two guides being made, composed basically of links to different resources. The guides would be:

• A generic one, which can be reused in the future for new contributors to the project
• One specific to this internship

While we don't have that, here are a set of resources to get started:

• Check-out the main documentation for OTel: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/
• Play with the OTel Demo to have practical experience with OTel: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/demo/
• Get familiar with the OTel spec: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/
• Log Bridge API: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/logs/bridge-api/

For all participants of this internship, I kindly ask you to please, record here your learnings and the other resources you consumed (videos, tutorials, experiments, ...)

@jpkrohling, I'm Thibaut Batale Final Year CS student. I'm applying for the upcoming term of the Outreachy Program. I have been selected to move to the next contribution. I have strong experience with Golang, I would like to learn more about the project Implementing one logging bridge per Language (Swift, Go, PHP, C++, Ruby, Erlang). Regarding the contribution phase, is there any specific issue applicants need to work on, or we can go ahead and start working on available issues.

Otel is vendor-agnostic
A vendor-agnostic solution could work with any brand of hardware or software as long as it meets the required functionalities.

Otel is Tool-agnostic: This describes something that is not dependent on a specific software program or tool. It can function effectively regardless of the chosen tool, as long as it provides the necessary capabilities.
