Projects

Along with @joeyklee, we coined the 'sprint' model for the fellowship

• ScienceFair - a distributed science library now funded by eLife [approaching v1]
• Command-line bootcamp and its github repo. A browser-based adventure where you learn the unix command-line from scratch. Beginner friendly! [fairly complete]
• slidewinder - a new way to make, share and remix slides [incomplete]
  • my activity log
  • my intro blog post about this sprint
• MozMap - an app to help you navigate the conceptual landscape of MozFest created by @joeyklee and I during MozFest 2015 [usable, but will be improved before Mozfest 2016]

Groups and organisations I've become involved with

• Code for Science
• Mozilla
• COKO foundation
• Science Lab Working Open Workshop cohort

Getting and managing the fellowship

• My application for the fellowship
• My talk to the other fellows + Mozilla Science Lab team at the first Fellows week (and the source code)
• The issues where I track planned and on-going work.
