Late notice being better than none at all, note that tomorrow is the National Day of Civic Hacking for 2016, and Orlando's taking part.  

So if you're in or near Orlando, you can show up to work on the kind of programming (and UX, and data management) projects that the city needs help with; at the very least, you'll have a peek at how tax money gets used in a coding context, and have a chance to make suggestions on that front. (See the event page for more details about what to bring, and what to expect.) 

For more info, and to play along, you can join the Orlando hackathon's Slack channel beforehand. 

Other cities are hosting their own civic hackathons tomorrow, too from Portland, Maine, to Austin, Texas, to  Anchorage, Alaska (these last two already underway) -- see the searchable map on the NDCH front page for more cities. 

(Hat tip to Orlando Tech Events: See their page, and -- as the saying goes -- subscribe to their newsletter to see a lot more events of interest to Central Florida.)
