I'm interested in finding volunteer projects or positions where I can keep my technical skills sharp, do interesting things, make social connections, have fun. For some reason I'm not really interested in paid positions although I am happy to help entrepreneurs, etc.

I have a very broad range of interest and skills, a bit of a handyman/jack of all trades I guess. I have found it very easy to gain knowledge and skills in many fields and have been blessed with a long career that I've been able to explore, prototype, develop and expand my horizons as opportunities have presented themselves. Actually, I've been more successful in a self directed role, perceiving opportunities, developing, then acting on them, and not waiting for them.

I'm looking for projects I can make a 3-48 month commitment to, that can have a beneficial impact to the community at large, as well as help help a team grow and enjoy their connections. I'm willing to consider working on-site part time and happy to travel, although I prefer if expenses are reimbursed (if possible).
