participated in a discussion of how the CCTS (the org I'm serving)
should develop its "business" in the future.
helped the hiring process by placing ads and by participating in
the interview of a candidate;
studied some existing, alternative, Content Management Systems
(CMS) not invented at CCTS, as candidate replacements for the CMS
that was invented at CCTS;
demonstrated a pattern for adding automated tests for the CCTS
CMS, documenting the tests, and at the same time, documenting the
requirements;
investigated somewhat into how we might be able to achieve
a cleaner separation between
the core CMS and the customizations of it to the needs of specific
clients;
maintained a file server (made backups, etc.) for the office files
maintained an environment for our software development
(using the Ubuntu distribution);
supported workstations running one of Microsoft's operating systems
helped move the office;
constructed a "sandbox" installation of the CCTS CMS for
demonstrating its ease of use;
contributed time to the maintenance of the CMS;
participated in an interim edit of the old, static, CCTS web site
taught other personnel about programming techniques and principles
(e. g., finite-state machines).

Please keep in mind that since the purpose of the CCTS is to build the
capacity of other organizations, anything I do that helps CCTS,
contributes to capacity building in the social-profit sector.
