Advancing research software in the UK through an SSI fellowship

I have selected as part of the 2020 cohort of Fellows of the Software Sustainability Institute!

The Institute cultivates world-class research with software. It's based at the universities of Edinburgh, Manchester, Southampton, and Oxford in the UK. Their motto says it all:

The SSI has a yearly fellowship program to fund the organization of communities around scientific software (creating of local user groups, workshops, hackathons, etc). Even more importantly, they organize several events to get current and past fellows in the same place doing awesome stuff. I'm really looking forward to this year's Collaborations Workshop (registration is open to all, not just fellows). I applied at the end of last year and was selected to join the 2020 cohort of fellows along with some truly amazing people.

My plan for the fellowship is to run
