Not "extremely well known," but our startup has released open source developer SDKs (currently Android and Arduino) and example apps for our consumer hardware device (haptic wristband). It's just been me and a colleague working on these in our spare cycles.

We'll take any help we can get with contributing to any of the projects posted up there.

To the original poster .....

If you are being welcomed in to this project then you should take up the offer and then do some serious hard work fixing every possible issue you can in the github issues and asking guidance from the project maintainers as much as you can when you get stuck.

Unpaid internships are the best indeed

This looks really cool. What are some ways to contribute without owning a wristband, specifically to any of the Java-based apps? Thanks!

Any sort of code review, basic testing on different systems/OSes, or clean-up (whether in code or documentation) is welcome. Some of the libraries for Satellite-tracking etc. are actually agnostic of requiring a wristband. The apps can generally be run / partially tested without needing to connect to a band.
