Awesome! Can I contribute? In other words, how can I, as an experienced backend developer (Java, Python, Scala, Ocaml, some C/C++) but a complete newbie in space, hardware and/or realtime systems, contribute?

Hey tomp. Of course you can. Most of our source code for SatNOGS is actually Python (and Django) and there is a lot you can do with C++ too. Check out our forums and don't hesitate to introduce yourself to the rest of the community https://community.libre.space/t/new-users-welcome/29/278 feel free to also hang-around over our IRC channels at the freenode server #satnogs Matrix bridged here https://riot.im/app/#/room/#satnogs:matrix.org or #librespace Matrix bridge https://riot.im/app/#/room/#librespace:matrix.org

Been following SatNOGS for a while now. Building on of the ground station designs has been on my to-do list for a while.
Recently checked in on the website and saw the building instructions have gotten better and much clearer.
We aren't NASA or JPL but a non-profit based in Greece. We already run SatNOGS (a network of satellite ground-stations), UPSat (the 1st satellite with components mainly under the CERN Open Hardware License) and on the side we work on amateur high power rocketry telemetry and PocketQubes.
