I applied to the following grants:
| Stage | Funder | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SUBMITTED | Mozilla Science Mini-Grant | Community management and events for Bionode.io |
| INTERVIEW | Shuttleworth fellowship | To work on Bionode.io full-time |

I met with or made significant connections with the following organizations and people:
- Regular chats with Repositive.io about organising hackathons and how they can use Bionode.io
- Met James Littlejohn (he came to the Bionode workshop at MozFest 2016). He wants to use blockchain and peer to peer technology combined with Bionode.io and Bento.bio to organise a citizen science genomics study. See: http://dsensor.org and https://youtu.be/aLhVFYSVo4Y
- Met with Michael R. Crusoe and discussed how Bionode.io could use CWL
- Got invited to teach Bionode to MSc student in U. Lisbon
- GSoC Student is in a lab that wants to use Bionode more (at Molecular Medicine Institute)
During my fellowship I learned how to better manage this community and what the funding landscape for open source projects like this looks like. I approached some funders and also attracted new contributors to this projects. We now need funding to support maintainers.
The following was developed during this fellowship:
