Yes - I am building a deep learning platform right now, and it's 95% complete (just some UI to finish) I am starting to look for real use cases to run on the demo servers.

My email is in my profile if you'd like to work together

Thanks! I've sent you an email. :D

I have been thinking kind of along the same lines. I work full time but I can carve out 5-8 hours a week to work on some research project and add value as a technologist. I would love to contribute especially to projects and folks working in the medical field trying to fight diseases, finding cure and advance genetic engineering to name a few.

I think a lot of people would love to contribute their free time and together that would mean thousands of hours of help into these projects which could mean that the goals could be achieved sooner. The problem is I don't know where to start and which projects would benefit from my 5-8 hours a week. This seems like the same problem I have with contributing towards open source projects.

I would love to talk more and see if there is a viable solution out there.

Hi There,

I have a zany idea, but you're profile is empty so I cannot contact you :(

Send me an email (in my profile), I could use your help - certainly in the medical field!

cheers

I think you're better off starting it, figuring what it's about, and then, inviting people to join. As is stands, it sounds rather vague.

PS: I'd love to help but I don't think I'm qualified enough in that field! Good luck!

Thanks for the reply!

I think you're right that the Minimum Viable Product needs to "fleshed out" and concretezised a bit. But my idea so far is to try to run one or two projects with the blog / email as only supporting infrastructure, because it's fun and to learn about the problem "first hand" so to speak.
