We still have a tech position open at the Freedom of the Press Foundation (a nonprofit): a Sr. Software Engineer position to work on SecureDrop, the open source whistleblower platform used by 65+ media organizations, originally developed by the late Aaron Swartz.
You get paid to work
✅ from anywhere in the world
✅ on a world-changing project
✅ that's open source,
✅ stewarded by a small team
✅ that's led by a woman.
Help spreading the word is much appreciated:

Senior leaders and #OER advocates from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America and the Middle East will be joining the #OERu18 #openeducation meeting next week at Charles Sturt Uni in Australia. You are free to join us online: https://oer.nz/oeru18vp
So many ask - how can you sustain #OER? We say, how will your institutions remain sustainable without OER? Here are a few #opensource #FOSS justifications from @lightweight https://tech.oeru.org/2018-update-oeru-technology-stack #OERu18 So glad we're not trying to run proprietary tech in times of #highereducation austerity.
