Volunteer data work and a data visualization contest

Two quick notes for code and stats -inclined Fight Entropy readers:

1. Data Without Borders is holding their first event in New York next month. If you're an empiricist looking to do some good or an NGO in need of some data help, check them out here
2. The team over at Information is Beautiful have announced a (recurring?) data visualization contest, The Information is Beautiful Awards

Both look potentially fun and rewarding.
