Hi all,

Does anyone know of any VM work that needs help? Without some direction and goals (ones that are actually helpful) I don't fell like I'm getting anywhere in learning/helping kernel development. I feel like I'm trying to learn how to ride a bike by merely reading about it :(

Thoughts?

Thanks!
Kirk

Try hooking up with the kernel janitor project. You won't be doing high profile work...just janitorial work on the kernel, help backporting features and APIs, etc. However, if you are interested in understanding the Linux kernel and becoming familiar with it, get involved.

Kernel-janitors, sure. :)

Just a couple of small points:

a. I don't accept backporting patches. 2.4.x is mostly closed
except for bug fixing.
b. If you find something that you want to do, ask about it first
on the [email protected] mailing list, to make sure that it's still valid and that you won't be duplicating someone else's work.
c. and the current URL is: http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/
