If not for serious jobs at least for 'Evangelists' like me... It's heavily boring being without a task to automate... What you think?
 
I don't quite understand your post. I do however understand and agree with the title
 
Tech-Evangelism is what I meant. Free work: "Apprenticeship" or "Work for Experience" you can say...
 
In a different post, it sounded like you had a job you were working on.
 
Let me share the techno aware of my area. Recently one person approached me for a project. Let me narrate the requirements:
  1. He will type something in Excel.
  2. And then He want me to make something to print that sheet.
  3. That's All
Project value: 45 US Dollars
 
It can be shocking, even humorous, when someone knows very little about tech and is literally scared of it.
My sister begs me every few months to enter 3-5 new payments on a spreadsheet and send her the updated sheet.

Now you have to understand how simple this worksheet is. It literally is just a list of payments and payment dates in columns A and B, and a big formula at the top, something like: "="Paid: " & sum(a1:a100) & ", Still left: " & (30000-sum(a1:a100))

That's it! That's the whole worksheet. Yet she feels I am doing her a gigantic favor every time I type in those 3 numbers, hit Enter, and send her the updated sheet.
