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]
- 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
