<div dir="ltr">Hi Tony,<br><br>Just would like to say a few words here.

Hi, Brian.<br>
<br>
I've thought about crowdfunding e.g. on Kickstarter as a way of funding<br>
the development of Bio-Linux, but I think this is method a last resort.<br>
<br>
I'm actively seeking funding through more conventional routes at the<br>
moment and I'll post to the list when I have more information.<br>
<br>
Bye,<br>
