I am Ioannis and I want to be part of Outreachy this year :) I am
completing my MSc in Bionformatics so I find this is a very suitable

I am very excited to submit a proposal!
I admit to only now have read up about what Outreachy exactly is. Good
luck for your proposal. Tell me/the list how I/we can help.
Since you are completing your degree in the field, my personal advice
would be to take this funded time (or any self-funded time which your
thesis work would likely be) to prepare for what you want to do
afterwards. You may decide to look for some piece of biology that is of
your interest, look for software supporting that (OMICtools.com and
bio.tools may help here) and see what part of it is already represented
on Debian Med. The delta of it may define your project.
Synthetic biology and more recently also Immunoinformatics is what I
personally like to see addressed more. That said, we still have issues
to get some current basic workflows like
https://github.com/bcbio/bcbio-nextgen or
https://software.broadinstitute.org/gatk/ smoothly integrated with us.
This is especially important also for continuous integration testing all
the libraries and tools underneath. Also, the pipelines still emerging
for the Nanopore are not fully with us, yet. This has a bit of a
"homework to do" kind of character.
Best,
Steffen
