Core Software Engineer with Shotgun - Digital Domain

The good news? We’ve just finished the first milestone in turning tech-artists.org into a legal nonprofit! This is going to help ensure the stability and longevity of the site and the community.

The bad news? We’ve only got a couple of months of hosting left. Plus, if we want to get full tax-exempt status which will make it easier for us to do things like get discount hosting for our online chat, or offer educational programs we need to raise about the equivalent of a full year’s hosting costs to cover the IRS filing fees.

So how about hitting the tech-art tipjar to help keep the site up and healthy?
