LKCAMP - Linux Kernel study group - volunteers
Hello, We are starting a study group in Brazil called LKCAMP at the University of Campinas (Unicamp) to help students to get started in kernel development. Our guides are strongly based on the tutorials from kernelnewbies.org (thank you for maintaining those). We are starting meetings every Tuesday night (starting on 20th March at 3pm PST) and we will probably have lots of questions in the #kernelnewbies IRC channel coming from the students during the workshops. It would be really nice to have some people online on the IRC channel between 4pm PST to 6pm PST to help us answer their questions, I would really appreciate if I could get some help and also to keep the students motivated, at least for the ramp up phase. Would any of you be interested in volunteering? More information about the group: https://goo.gl/Y4zVUZ (feedbacks are welcome). I really appreciate kernelnewbies efforts and we hope to contribute back to the community with this project :) Thanks Helen Koike

Umm.. What GMT offset is your PST? Just checking, the US PST is GMT-8, but that's a fair ways west of Brazil, which seems to be at GMT-2 through GMT-5 depending on where in Brazil (looks like most of the population is in the GMT-3 area)....

Yes, I converted to PST because it is more international. 3pm PST is equivalent to 7pm GMT-3 (Sao Paulo) -- Helen Fornazier
Hi! We are having connectivity issues as it seems that the university blocks some ports in the wifi. We are using the webchat interface to connect to irc, the problem is that webchat.oftc.net seems to be not working, so we migrated to https://webchat.freenode.net/ , I would really appreciate if you could join #lkcamp @ freenode (there is also a #kernelnewbies @ freenode Thanks a lot, sorry about that, we are going to check how we can fix this.
