My Experience as a Fedora Intern

As my internship with Fedora comes to an end, I reflect on my experiences over the past five months. I began my internship in May, applying to a Community Architect position posted through Red Hat. I was unfamiliar with the Fedora community, but was eager to learn and contribute to the communities. Marie Nordin, the former Fedora Community Action and Impact Coordinator guided me the whole way. She taught me about the passion and enthusiasm the open source community respects within community involvement.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) team is hard at work in the preparation for Fedora Week of Diversity (FWD). We would love to have a larger group of volunteers to make Fedora Week of Diversity bigger and better this year to celebrate our diverse and inclusive community.

We want to hear from you: take the Fedora Annual Contributor Survey for 2022!

June 2, 2022 / isagordillo / 3 Comments

The Fedora Council wants to hear what you have to say! Like last year, the goal of this survey is to collect valuable feedback to provide the right support for our Fedora community. We will evaluate the gathered information and discuss them at Nest with Fedora 2022. We are excited to have another set of data so we can run a comparative analysis and understand changes in the Fedora community over the last year. The survey will be open for all of June, and you will have the opportunity to earn a fun Fedora Badge. Take this year’s Annual Contributor Survey today!

The survey was coordinated by an awesome set of folks: Fedora Council member, Aleksandra Fedorova, Marie Nordin (coordination), Sumantro Mukherjee (support), Vipul Siddharth (LimeSurvey wrangler), Isabella Gordillo-Guevara (promotion) and Ashlyn Knox (websites). The Mindshare Committee and the Community Outreach Revamp team also aided in the creation of the survey and provided feedback several times as it was developed. We are excited to hear what our community has to say!
