 ## Proposed Project ideas
 
+### Jaeger
+
+#### Upgrade Jaeger's internal telemtery to OpenTelemetry
+
+- Description: historically, the Jaeger backend used the OpenTracing API, with Jaeger's own Go SDK `jaeger-client-go`, for instrumenting its own internals for distributed tracing. Since Jaeger's SDKs have been deprecated, we want to upgrade the Jaeger backend to use the OpenTelemetry tracing API and SDK directly.
+- Expected Outcome:
+  - Replace the use of OpenTracing API with OpenTelemetry
+  - Remove `jaeger-client-go` and `jaeger-lib` as dependencies
+  - Remove `opentracing-go` and `opentracing-contrib/*` as dependencies
+  - Switch to standard instrumentation libraries where available (e.g. for HTTP, gRPC)
+  - Rethink/rework `crossdock` integration tests to test end-to-end flow with OpenTelemetry data
+  - Publish a blog post on medium.com/jaegertracing documenting the experience
+- Recommended Skills: Go
+- Mentor(s): Yuri Shkuro (@yurishkuro, github@ysh.us)
+- Upstream Issue: https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/issues/3381
