I just want to introduce myself. I am a junior web developer and recent graduate of Flatiron School.
I met with Remy in January at the WiTNY Conference and I have been looking into the Outreachy program. I'm interested in getting involved in the open source community and I noticed that the Outreachy project listed for 2016 is the Fedora Kernel Tooling Project. However, there are several other links that show other projects.
I would like to know, is there a link with all the projects available for round 12 or is the kernel tooling project the only one? Also, is there someone I can direct all my questions to throughout this process?
Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Dolmo---------- Forwarded message ----------

Hello Remy,
It was a pleasure meeting you at the Women in Tech New York Conference (WiTNY), I value the knowledge you shared on open source software resources, how to contribute to the community in order to learn and ultimately advance a career in tech. A quick overview about myself, I am a recent graduate of the Flatiron School Web Development Fellowship. Throughout the program I was able to build Ruby on Rails web applications with my new found knowledge of MVC frameworks, database query interfacing with SQLite, and front-end technologies like Bootstraps and HTML5/CSS3.
I have been looking into Outreachy, the mentoring program you suggested, and it seems like a promising opportunity I would definitely like to be a part of. I would also like to obtain an internship position that allows me to use my creativity, problem solving skills, and the tech skills I acquired at Flatiron. If you hear of any opportunities, please keep me in mind. I appreciate your help in advance.
Also for more information about my experience, you can visit my LinkedIn profile or check out my work on Github. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Sylvia Dolmo
