Hi All, Just joined the mailing list (as I will no doubt be calling on the community's expertise in the near future). I am looking to get my hands dirty with some kernel development - mainly because I want to improve my understanding of the kernel and I honestly believe that getting involved will be a worthwhile investment of my time and will also be highly educational. Over the next coming months, I shall be undertaking a more structured approach to studying and gaining familiarity with the kernel source. I will also be looking to get involved in some simple patch development (e.g., simple janitorial type jobs), such that I can gain some experience of the patch development and submission process. I am aware that kernelnewbies.org typically lists some of these types of job and that the kernel project has plenty of documentation and tips from veteran contributors concerning these topics. Areas of particular interest to me include: - Industrial I/O - Device Driver Development - 'Real-Time' Systems - Time Synchronisation - Networking & Communication Protocols If anyone knows of any newbie projects in these specific areas, then it would be great to hear from you. Lastly, the Kernel Newbies website seems to be unavailable at the moment (Google last cached the site on 31 Jan 2020 01:49:1 UTC). Any idea when it will be available again? Many Thanks, Jack W.
