I'm starting a 501(c)3 nonprofit science research organization. One of the side projects I'd like to do is to teach a computer programmer how to program bacteria and help to develop a 100% open-source git-like software system for biology. Yes, I'm aware that entities like genome compiler exist - but the people running it just don't get it (either from a CS perspective OR a biology perspective) - I've had conversations with them. I could use someone like you, and if you really like what you're making, then it's certainly "spinoff"-able (technically not a spinoff since there's no IP transfer) as a github-like for-profit enterprise.

Our long-term goal is to also produce a platform for building open-source, IP-unrestricted biological products. We're starting with an anticancer compound, I have other ideas that I don't want to talk about until I'm ready to pitch for donations for them.

Anyways, I think you should take a break - we won't be ready to launch until december-ish anyways (depending on how badly the IRS handles itself in the meantime), but if you think you might be interested in this, let me know. I might not be able to pay that much, but you might find some inspiration, and a direction to go in.
