Hi,

The ideal way to start is to write some basic kernel drivers. Look for the
tutorial at the following links -


1. Linux Device Drivers 3 examples updated to work in recent kernels
http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596005900/
2. http://opensourceforu.com/author/anil-kumar-pugalia/page/3/


Once you are done and want to pick up a real task -

1. Try to implement a TODO in staging area drivers -

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/staging/

Most of these folders have a TODO file and maintainer info.


2. Sign up for a coverity account and join the Linux project.

https://scan.coverity.com/

You would get regular Coverity scans of kernel. You can fix  one of these
get started.

 Heh... it's called the eudyptula challenge, not the eucalyptus challenge.

Sorry for top-posting and the typo.
