🚀 My first Fedora merge: Real docs work
-
PR #33 — Fedora Join docs updated
Brought docs up to date, reflecting Fedora Join changes — used by new contributors every week.
-
PR #64 — Welcome to Fedora update
Improved first-touch documentation for new contributors. These merges felt like crossing into “I really did that!” territory.
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

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