Johnny Long, of johnny.ihackstuff.com fame, has started a new charity foundation with his wife that enlists the aid of hackers to help with IT problems in the developing world, a place that honestly can't afford real IT guys. This is a really great thing for Johnny and the hacker community to take part in and it really does make a difference in the lives of people in various African countries.
In case you're a selfish asshole and don't have the desire to help people for the sake of help, there's something in it for you as well, especially if you need resume fodder. For each project you help complete, you are able to reference the project on your resume and you'll get a professional reference from Johnny Long on LinkedIn. For more details, watch his video on Google Video about No-Tech hacking, which really opened my eyes to some great techniques for seeing things important to security without the use of technology.
