Hackers & Founders SV is hosting a hackathon[1] in two weeks at the Hacker Dojo in Mountain View. It's going to be geared towards working with Factual's open data API.
Factual's[2] goal is to provide an API to connect all those available data sets, and they have a fairly impressive list of data sets available. Factual is very interested in hearing what datasets you want to work with, and they are willing to bust ass to get them available before the hackathon.
