Not a goodbye, wrapping up my Fedora Project DEI internship

September 2, 2025 / Cornelius Emase / 3 Comments

This isn’t a goodbye. I have mixed feelings about this, but it’s not the end. My Outreachy internship with the Fedora Project DEI team is wrapping up, but I’m here to stay. I remember my first discourse post, quoting from it: “… regardless of the outcome, I’m here to stay!” Yes, I meant it.

It’s been an awesome journey working with the community, contributing to projects that matter, and learning along the way. I’m grateful to everyone who supported me, and a special thanks goes to my mentor, Jona Azizaj.

Here’s a look at what I’ve been working on recently:

May 5, 2022 / subhangi / 2 Comments

I cannot help but feel a little nostalgic while writing this last blog post about my Outreachy internship. This post marks the end of my three-month internship where I worked with the community members to revamp the web application housing IRC meeting logs and summaries. I cannot believe how the time flew by – from applying, to getting selected, to contributing, and finally ending the journey.
