I don't think we have an android SIG yet. We do have this wiki page that
details how to set up an android development environment, though:

You can change that - sign up for the Ambassadors program and start
spreading the word :D
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_Join_start

We don't do a lot of development - unless it's to do with the
applications Fedora infrastructure develops for us: 
https://apps.fedoraproject.org

Take a look - maybe you'll find something to work on. Generally,
development is done upstream, and we use whatever they provide:

You can use your knowledge of programming languages to maintain some
packages that you use -

Please ask us any questions that you'll have. We'll be happy to help you
get started as quickly as possible!
