🚀 My first Fedora merge: Real docs work

I got sponsored to Fedora Join SIG

I made valuable contributions to the Join SIG and worked closely with my mentor Mat H. Because of that, I was officially sponsored to the Fedora Join Special Interest Group (SIG).

That is how much trust Fedora put in me.

If there is one thing to say about @lochipi it is Cornelius listens to and acts on feedback. Cornelius came to my attention when he posted about his Murang’a event on Matrix…​ After he contributed to three items for Join SIG I offered to sponsor him to our team. We want people like him to continue to contribute over the next five+ years due to his friendliness, his technical ability and his community outreach work. — theprogram@fedoraproject.org

📰 My article got published in Fedora Magazine

I Wrote and published a story highlighting how open-source advocacy at my university grew local contributors.

Built around collaboration: shout-out to Mat H (theprogram@fedoraproject.org) who helped along the way!
