Hi,
I am doing a tutorial at OSSNA in San Diego on getting into kernel hacking. I'm only a couple of years deep into kernel hacking so I wanted to reach out to those more experienced than myself (and those less experienced).
Is there any thing that you would really like to see covered in this tutorial?
I'm not involved in kernel hacking, but I've tried several times to start writing patches. Because of time sharing issue I haven't get to the end but a tutorial will be great. The question I've asked me during my several tries is where can I be useful (which topics, what I'm confident enough in to play with...). Looking in drivers/staging wasn't any help in my case and making kernel janitor is useful but not very well viewed as I've heard. So I think that digging further in your tutorial on several ways to start kernel hacking may be interesting.
Current format/content: the tutorial will attempt to bridge the gap in the learning process between the 'first patch' page on kernelnewbies.org wiki and being 'comfortable' patching the kernel via LKML. Outcome will (hopefully) be a small patch set into drivers/staging/. (Don't worry Greg only one group got to this stage last time, you won't get flooded with patches :)
HTH and very enthusiast to read this tutorial. Loïc
Thanks, Tobin.
