How will this project benefit Fedora
The Zine project is a new initiative within Fedora started by our last Outreachy design intern. The Zine will serve many purposes for our community. It will act as a showcase and point of recognition for the variety of work that is being done within Fedora. The Zine will provide engagement with the community that is non-coding related, instead focused on personal expression and creativity. Once completed, the Zine will be printed and used for swag shipments and events in the future.
