Hi All,

I am a first year graduate student at Indian Statistical Institute,

Kolkata,

...

India. I have to do a small OS assignment. As I always wanted to contribute to Linux, I am thinking of working on a Linux kernel bug or a new feature as part of my assignment.

I have never worked on Linux kernel before. So, I need some help for selecting a bug or a feature that can be resolved in a month's time. The time period is not strict but desired. What I really want is a problem that will help me in building a good understanding of Linux kernel.

How about looking at drivers/staging/*/TODO ? There's lots of things there that need cleanups and help.

Good luck,

greg k-h

Not very sure. maybe: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/describecomponents.cgi

I always report bugs to LKML or related mail-list. (E.g. Linux-efi) So you'd better subscribe them.

Subscribing to lkml almost guarantees you won't have enough time to actually work on bugs.

"Note that nobody reads every post in linux-kernel. In fact, nobody who expects to have time left over to actually do any real kernel work will read even half. Except Alan Cox, but he's actually not human, but about a thousand gnomes working in under-ground caves in Swansea. None of the individual gnomes read all the postings either, they just work together really well." -- Linus Torvalds

The linux-kernel list has about 4 times the traffic now as when Linus said that.

I subscribe to a few subsystem lists, that is more than I can keep up with. I've never had the urge to even try lkml. For me it's ide/libata, ext4, xfs. I should drop ext4 as I rarely read it these days. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
