This sounds like an excellent opportunity - I hope somebody from SI jumps on it. This is a great combination of public goods allocation and network theory, capped with environmental sustainability.
I am posting a few thoughts on the SI Career Blog about my internship experience at the Columbia River Gorge Commission. I'll try to aggregate all of those posts into one post here at CiC when they are complete. Until then, you can find the posts there.
CivicAction might have cool activist reality shows
for you this summer. I had a good DFE experience with them, and they
definitely sport an encouraging work environment, which is key when
learning about technology.
