DrupalEasy Podcast 205 - Fatima Khalid - First time sprinter's guide

Fatima Khalid ([sugaroverflow](https://www.drupal.org/u/sugaroverflow)), web developer with [Digital Echidna](https://www.echidna.ca/), and DrupalCon Nashville track chair and sprint mentor joins Mike Anello to talk about how to be a first-time sprinter at a local Drupal event or a DrupalCon and how she came for the community and stayed for the code. Along the way, we talk about Canadian Cheerios, the importance of issue queue triage, and (alleged) creepy monkey guy.
