Just curious. Sorry If I sound rude..Why do you want a job in Linux kernel development ?

Hi Sakshi, Well this discussion may be going off the way of technical kernel discussion on this list, but its anyway the aim is to get you point you in a kernel development direction. I think the situation with you is very common. What I can suggest is that you join a group where you know people are working on kernel development. You may not directly work on kernel components but user space utilities around that. You can always ask for small kernel assignments or bug fixes in kernel drivers from your manager and gradually prove yourself fit for kernel development. Trust me, this works. At least it worked for me. All the best!! Rajat On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 10:00 AM, sumeet gandhare <sumeetgandhare@gmail.com>wrote:

It's near the top of the kernelnewbies FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/CareerAdvice -- All rights reversed.

Who told you a third class attempt like this would fetch you a kernel job.

You deserve that.

You need to fight and have the right attitude with code. Why don't you go and start with some simple programs like sorting searching blah blah and program a device driver yourself. The mere fact that you are posting here on this list shows your reluctance to hard work. You wont succeed.

Am i the only person here who thinks that the tone of this thread is way too rude. Irrespective of whatever the original question is, i think some of the replies here are way too silly & childish.

I'm with you. Agreed that the original post was OOT in the first place, but the replies haven't helped either and probably have demoralized the original poster more. -- Thanks - Manish ================================== [$\*.^ -- I miss being one of them ==================================

Worst part is necroposting, i guess other people(regulars ) have already answered these question in more appropriate way.
