Hello, I am from Colombia and I am interested in the kernel, I would like that there were also kernel developers here, I hope to learn a lot and be able to share that knowledge for Hispanics and can join this cause.

Hello, does anyone know any university that has lines of research on the linux kernel

Well.. most of the actual code development is being done out in industry and by individuals. The stuff that happens in universities is usually more theoretical (new concepts in memory management, etc), and merely *uses* Linux as a platform because it's available. Pretty much nobody is doing any research *on* the Linux kernel as itself (unless it's as a case study in managing large scale software development, or as a data point for code quality metrics and other such things).

And there's a difference between "University ABC has a professor who's got this one project that happens to use Linux in it" and "University DEF has 4 professors and 20 grad students who have set up an official Center For Something Research". So if you're looking for grad schools, you want to be looking at things with longevity, like the MIT Media Lab, or Purdue's computer security expertise, or a lot of the stuff being done at CMU or Stanford or Berkeley. It sucks to transfer to a grad school for 3 years, only to have the project you transferred for go away a year later....

(And many of those projects never see the light of day, because they often end up being some variant of "If we measured metric X better, we could do a better job of predicting what to do with Y" - but it often turns out that measuring X better costs more than the added efficiency of Y gains you....)
