There is a hack-a-thon going on this weekend dealing specifically with geodata. Here is an opportunity to give back to the community using your tech skills. I plan to participate and would love to see other Drupalers attend.
I'm proposed a project, which I'm hoping will give me the opportunity to learn about accessing and creating public API's.

Description from event website:
"Geo:Code is back! Join Open Twin Cities and a huge list of Twin Cities counties, cities, and organizations for a metro-wide civic tech event. Share your ideas, your experiences, and your creativity. Work with residents and government employees on creating a more accessible government. Take part in International Open Data Day, and Code for America's CodeAcross. Have fun, learn something new, meet people, and help your local community.
This event is free and for everybody. We're calling all people of all backgrounds with all skills. This event is not only for technologists. It does not matter what it is you do, you have something wonderful to contribute. And you can get started right now by Registering, then submitting an idea for an issue to focus on or a project to work on below.
