I like it how you list

  Delivered tech support to many families in a local neighborhood, 
  spreading the word of Free and Open Source Software in the process.[…]
This is real work and should be listed there. Will add sth similar to my CV, too.

Perhaps so one day this would be seen as work even by relatives.

'spreading the word'

should be replaced with

'demonstrating the utility'

The former is a religious expression. The latter is a pragmatic one.
