Looking for unpaid volunteering job/internship as a Linux admin

[ceplm at seznam.cz (Matej Cepl)]

Hi,

after my PhD candidacy fell through, I am thinking what else I could do. The
thing which I would be very much interested in is working as a Linux
administrator or something of that sort. The problem is that I have no
credentials from any computer-related program (except for, for my purposes
rather useless, Microsoft Office Specialist 2000), because I haven't
participated in any computer-related training and learned everything
myself. On the other hand I have been using solely Linux for all my
computing purposes (except when on the computer of somebody else) since at
least 2000, I have been running a home network for couple years (until
Verizon DSL got so cheap that we haven't needed a home server any more),
and I believe that I am able to learn anything computer-related (reasonably
complicated) pretty fast.

Therefore, I would love to try to put my hands on some Linux administrative
work, so that I can find out how much I really know, get some practical
experience, and if possible to get recommendations that I was doing such
work and what I can do. My work permitt expired last Friday (I am a Czech
citizen, staying in Boston while trying to get my PhD), so it would have to
be volunteer job/internship anyway.

My resume is on http://matej.ceplovi.cz/drobky/resume-comp.pdf

If anybody would have any comments on the resume, on possible strategies how
to find such job, or even about any particular job, please, let me know.

Thanks in advance for any reply,

Mat?j Cepl
