Where to start
Hi All,
I know it seems bugging but after googling a lot and following links i'm still not able to find any place to get bugs of beginner level that i can fix and start contributing in kernel development.
I also don't know that whom should i contact to get a mentor. Please help me out.

Just pick something from staging and look at the Sparse warnings.
Send your first patch to this list instead of to the maintainer and we can review it for you.

Hi Dan,
I have a similar question, but unfortunately I don't know what "staging" is or what a "Sparse" warning looks like. This seems pretty trivial so I'm wondering if there a primer webpage that I have overlooked. Would you happen to have a link?
Sorry to bug you, and thank you for your help.

staging is the drivers/staging/ directory. It's where crap code goes.
Here is an article on Sparse: http://lwn.net/Articles/205624/

Check the kernel source for drivers/staging folder.
