Excellent :)
I'm traveling on business today to NYC, but should be online in couple of
hours.
You should be working on attaining the "bootstrapped" badges series, and
looking for interesting projects and tools on the CommOps wiki page.
An important part of Outreachy, and Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) in
general, is self selection and self direction. You are most likely to learn
and succeed in areas that interest YOU, so it is important to identify what
area of the project is most interesting for you personally. Once you have
found an interesting tool or project, you can ask some of the other folks
in channel about it, see if they have suggestions, and also check their
issue trackers for tasks/bugs.
If you have questions, it is best to ask them in channel publicly, because
likely others are having similar issues, and we can all learn from
eachother together :)
You are also more likely to get answers from other mentors as well, instead
of just blocking on me.
I've cc'd the Fedora Outreachy list on this reply, which you should also
continue doing in the future. In Fedora (and many other FOSS projects) we
default to open and public communication unless there is a compelling
reason not to.
Hope this helps,
--RemyD.
