Hi, I am Ranjith from India and I would like to contribute something for linux kernel. But I really don't know from where I have to start.(I have submitted linux kernel patch already). Thanks, Ranjith.T.
Best thing to do is determine what you are interested in. Pick an area and start studying. The kernel is to big imo to be floating around everywhere. I picked dvb drivers, others are interested in networking or graphics etc. UDL On Mon, Nov 2, 2015, 9:02 AM Ranjith T <ranjithece24@gmail.com> wrote:

Step 0: Decide *why* you want to contribute code. Step 1: Pick a particular part of the code that interests *you*. If somebody suggests (for instance) filesystems, but you aren't interested in them, the result *will* be bad code. (For example, most of what I do is just build and run a new linux-next kernel every week or so, and report or fix anything that breaks on my Dell laptop)

I would suggest you to start with the Eudyptula Challenge: http://eudyptula-challenge.org/ It is fun and will expose you to many different parts of the kernel. -- Peter
Hello Ranjith, Another way is to look into the bugs at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ Regards Sanjeev Sharma On Tue, Nov 3, 2015 at 1:26 AM, Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> wrote:
