I'm interested in getting started doing kernel dev.
Why? Fame? Fortune? It's a chick magnet? You're totally pissed off because suspend/resume is wonky on your laptop? If you *really* want to help, just get yourself a copy of the linux-next tree, build it every week or so, and file bug reports/patches if you hit something odd. We need code coverage testers more than we need random patches - and Grek KH will verify that most kernel releases, I manage to break it anywhere from 1 to 4 times a release just using it day-to-day on my main laptop (not even pointing trinity or iozone or any other stress tester at it).
