Hey leonardo, Go through the mailing list, for old mails on the same topic. Maybe have a look at the eudyptula challenge. Regards On Thu, Mar 12, 2015, 9:58 PM Leonardo Ariel Carreras Rodríguez < zc77leo@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello again, Only to be sure, do you have to write something special to little@eudyptula-challenge.org ? Does it take a lot of time? I keep not receiving anything for almost an hour. Leonardo Carreras +595 971 831 287 2015-03-12 13:34 GMT-03:00 karthik nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>:

As far as I know, nothing special needed; just something to the effect of "I'd like to take part in the Eudyptula Challenge."

Unfortunately, this is something that you'll have to get used to; since the Challenge is run by essentially one man (Little) and a bunch of scripts, and since there's still, despite those scripts, a heavy amount of manual work involved on Little's part, wait times can at times be very long. Case in point, I've been waiting for a response to my submission to Challenge 6 since mid-January. -- Jonathan Jin jjin.me github.com/jinnovation linkedin.com/in/jonathanjin
Hello Jonathan, In particular, I am asking about how much time do you have to wait until you get accepted to join the challenge. If s/he has to approve each mail address, this will take a lot of time. 2015-03-12 15:31 GMT-03:00 Jonathan Jin <jjin082693@gmail.com>:

It takes a little time for him to get back to you. Patience is something you'll learn when dealing with the Eudyptula challenge. :) --Jess On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 1:24 PM, Leonardo Ariel Carreras Rodríguez < zc77leo@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello, There are many ways how to start with the kernel. Try to search kernelnewbies archive, there are many questions like your. The good way to start is a join to the Eudyptula Challenge - http://eudyptula-challenge.org/.
From myself i can recommed, try to select what you are interested in the kernel. Kernel is huge. Maybe you're interesting in filesystems or vfs, network or in any architecture. Select this part and try to research it.

Something the others haven't addressed - do you have an understanding of *why* you are here? As the "how to get started" will be different for different answers... Are you here because you're a professional programmer who's done a lot of userspace work, and your company just re-assigned you to write an FPGA driver for a new product? Are you here because you got a project assignment from a professor? Are you here because you just bought a Brand X laptop and the sound card is supposedly supported, but it plays everything in reverse? Are you here because you have a device that has no driver in Linux? Are you here because you're a troll? Are you here because you think kernel hacking is a good way to improve your resume? Are you here because you've been using Linux, and you want to give back but have no idea how? We've seen all of the above here - and each of these should probably be heading in a different direction. There isn't really a one size fits all best way to get started.

I am here because I am curious about how the kernel is developed. If I have to blame to something, that would be taking the LFS101x course. I have been using some distros since ages, but I never had enough time to be involved in anything (lots of things to do). I finished university recently, and I have some free time to do what I like.

Oh, I am sure that I am not a troll (maybe my questions seems to be about simple topics or vague in some way, but that is because I still don't know enough to be specific).
Are you here because you think kernel hacking is a good way to improve your resume?

This questions seems to be in the direction of my feelings. I am not sure about which part of the system I would like to be involved with.

I know that, but I wanted something that helps me to have a narrower set of possible choices. Thanks Valdis!
