How do you primarily contribute to Fedora? (2-3 sentences):

In my professional role as an Intern on Red Hat's Continuous Kernel Integration (CKI) team, I work on testing and validating the Linux kernel that forms the foundation of Fedora. This hands-on technical experience gives me a deep appreciation for the system's reliability.

I am a new contributor interested in community outreach and advocacy. While I’m just starting with Fedora, I want to get more involved by helping at events, engaging with attendees, and learning from experienced contributors like @Eischmann . Supporting the booth at this event will be my first active contribution, and I see it as a great opportunity to grow into a long-term Fedora ambassador.

After talking to Jiri, I've offered to fund LinuxDays from the CentOS budget. Do you have a Red Hat credit card as in intern?

No, as an intern I am not eligible for that card.

Per @smccance's comment, we were able to provide funding for @mdhrahma1. I'm closing this ticket as ~"state::duplicate" since it was moved over to CentOS funding.

Big thanks to our CentOS friends and Shaun for providing the coverage here! :pray_tone1:
