Most of the code is JavaScript and QML which is a json-like declaritive language. QML is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. The broad strokes are already in place so a lot of the work is just adding new features and a lot of that can be copied and pasted. The mobile-specific code I take care of and any C++ that is needed.
The schedule data comes from the same source as the sign data. We have API endpoints on the server for announcements and other data. We're not doing the backend but we can request any changes we need.
If you want, send me an email with your experience and interests so I will know what tasks I can send your way. Include your github handle and I can add you as a contributor. If you live in the LA area I'd be happy to meet up for a hack session to get you started.
Julio and I have been having a lot of fun with this project so the more the merrier.

Very cool, thanks for all the info. Mobile app development isn't my strong suite... nor is C++ for that matter. Throwing together a few hundred lines of python is very different from developing on a full blown app. :) Will it need syncing, or does it just wrap the webpage for showing the schedule? If the former, my script can probably be adapted for any such needs. -- Phil Dibowitz phil@ipom.com Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
