@srishakatux Yes! This seems like a good blog post!

What would work best for you -- creating an outline first or reaching out to the interns first to ask about their experiences?

Either way, I'm happy to work with you to get an initial draft written.

@srodlund Sounds good! Do you want to propose a template for project details / experiences that I can then share with each intern?

@srishakatux Yes. I'll put one together!

Okay, how does this sound?

Name of participant
Name of the project
Short description of the project
Why did you decide to participate in Outreachy?
What was the process like? (Applying, working with mentors, working on the project itself, etc.)
Can you share some of your challenges and/or successes?
Do you have any advice for others who are thinking of participating in Outreachy?
Is there anything else you would like to share?

@srodlund This sounds great! I will now write an email to all the interns sharing this template and cc'ing you on it.

@srishakatux I published this. Before I send out announcements can you take a look and let me know if it looks good to you? https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2021/06/02/outreachy-round-21-experiences-and-outcomes/
