How will this project benefit Fedora
The Community Outreach Revamp is one of the Fedora Project's current Objectives. Fedora Objectives are the highest priorities in Fedora until they have been completed. The Revamp focuses on the various community teams within Fedora, and has been ongoing since June 2020. Various parts of the Revamp need designs created, and it is an essential part of the overall plan. The designs the intern creates will be the face of Fedora's new outreach program/teams and provide a base for the evolving identity of Fedora's community outreach.

Sample plan of work for the 12 week internship. What are milestones the
intern should be hitting?

Hi @riecatnor,

  • The deadline for Fedora mentors to select their intern is May 10th. Do not communicate intern selection with applicants until the interns are announced on the alums page at May 17 at 4pm UTC

  • When the selected interns are announced, we will do an Intern introduction blogpost on the Fedora community blog and plan a social hour with all the mentors and interns (all within first 2 weeks of selection). This keeps the community informed of the efforts and coming work, and gives interns a chance to meet and greet peers other than just the "work" part

  • Outreachy program expects Interns to write/blog their work somewhere (can be their own blog), we would like to take summary of the work and publish a combined work of all interns in a community blog every 2-3 weeks. I will be sending an email to all the students and mentors with this info once selection is out.

I want to thank you once again for coming up with the project and mentoring the intern

This is all set now :) closing the ticket as fixed
