https://github.com/OBF/OBF.github.io/blob/main/content/posts/YYYY-MM-DD-event-fellowship-blog-template.md and/or the main README should be more explicit about images, but we're looking at a maximum width/height of 1024 pixels to keep the file sizes reasonable. Could you resize them please and update the branch? Thank you |

I'm glad you had a good time and a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you for the write-up.
The text reads well - my suggestions are just suggestions, you can ignore them all.
I would ask you check the image sizes though. One of the downsides of moving to the Hugo platform on GitHub Pages for our website is having to think about this and manage image sizes directly - compared to a platform like WordPress which ought to handle this automatically.
| It was amazing to explain our project and to receive feedback from experienced researchers. | ||
| This fantastic experience ended then with wonderful news. We won the best poster award! | ||
| Getting this recognition completed this experience in the best possible way. I couldn’t really believe it! | ||
| For an undergraduate like me getting an award like this and seeing people actually appreciating my work felt unreal. |

At this point when reading, I wanted to look at your poster. If you (and your supervisors/co-authors) are happy to share it online, you could add a link to it here?
eg https://zenodo.org/ or https://www.f1000.com/ or https://figshare.com/ - which I think all give a DOI link.

i got permission from my supervisor to upload the poster on zenodo, i'm going to upload it as soon as possible.

i just made a draft on zenodo, i would like to add OBF in the awards/grants section, but i couldn't find the name of the foundation. Do you know how can i add the foundation to it?

OBF isn't registered in the registry of funders used by Zenodo. You can add a custom entry, though.

Thank you for sharing the link,
regarding the custom entries, what should i insert inside the award/grant number voice?
also, for the grant name should i write "Open Bioinformatics Foundation Event Award" ?

This is why we normally try to review posts in a gdoc before they are made into a PR! 😅 I don't think there's much point in my doing a review until Peter's suggestions have been responded to, so I'll give this "approve after changes". |

I will re-review once Peter's comments are addressed.
updated images according to instructions of maximum width/height of 1024 pixels
Updated the fellowship recipient's link and improved phrasing for clarity.
Clarified the sentence structure regarding GitHub access and personal feelings during the hackathon experience.
Rephrase sentences for clarity and conciseness in the conference and poster session sections.

We should do a squash-and-merge so that only the smaller photos are recorded in the history.
