I see a competitor ;) OProject currently has many applications. Mathematical application - this is easiest way.
You can come up with your own application. A new project in our team is the Shark. Prediction using artificial intelligence sea surface temperature. Here we can use the genetic algorithms and / or neural networks. The data comes from NASA and NOAA satellites - we are building a very large database (more than 2 TB) with all the data. Sample video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHBaZtm_Kf8 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUW7TwSu8_M You can try to predict the sea surface temperature - e.g. following year. Examples can be many. Own idea? There are many interesting problems.
