Being a non-profit means we have a constant need to fund raise, so:
The okTurtles Foundation is looking to hire a genius fundraiser, part time or full time.
About okTurtles:
The protocol “securing” most internet traffic today (SSL/TLS) has a 20+ year old design flaw that undermines the security of every website on the internet.
