Hi All,
I am new to this list. Please help me with any new bie helper guide.
How do we get work assigned here? or this is just a query forum.
Regards, Anurag

Hi, The ideal way to start is to write some basic kernel drivers. Look for the tutorial at the following links - 1. Linux Device Drivers 3 examples updated to work in recent kernels http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596005900/ 2. http://opensourceforu.com/author/anil-kumar-pugalia/page/3/ Once you are done and want to pick up a real task - 1. Try to implement a TODO in staging area drivers - http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/staging/ Most of these folders have a TODO file and maintainer info. 2. Sign up for a coverity account and join the Linux project. https://scan.coverity.com/ You would get regular Coverity scans of kernel. You can fix one of these get started. Heh... it's called the eudyptula challenge, not the eucalyptus challenge. Also,
please don't top-post.
Sorry for top-posting and the typo.

Not that recent obviously :( For instance, in sbull, they use blk_fs_request which does not exist anymore. -- François
I have the same situation. Seems that Eudyptula maintainers forget about us )))... 08.08.2016, 12:14, "Madhu K" <madhu.sk89@gmail.com>:
