I already made a post about beaconDB itself in !foss@beehaw.org:
beaconDB is a drop-in replacement for MLS, which uses the same format request that’s used by Mozilla’s Ichnaea.
The source code is available on Codeberg: codeberg.org/beacondb/beacondb
You can contribute to the project by using an app like NeoStumbler (GitHub) or Tower Collector (GitHub) to submit location reports. NeoStumbler does Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GSM, while Tower Collector can only do GSM cell towers. Both are FOSS and available on F-Droid.
It is also recommended by the GrapheneOS project: grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112759509558471713
grapheneos.org/articles/positon-location-service
Just keep in mind that it’s still in relatively early development, which is why it really needs contributions.

Whoops, forgot to actually put the community link in the post. It’s fixed now.
