Hi,

Does anybody know if there is a program to offer small (or big) kernel
projects to students or someone who are interested in?

I'm looking for programs like Google Summer of Code or
http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelProjects

I'm interested to contribute with kernel patches, but I don't know how and
where to start it.

I will be glad if someone give me ideas and/or suggestions.

Thanks!

Hi Julio,

Have you tried the Eudyptula Challenge?
Its a good place to start from the ground up!

I second this, Eudyptula is one of most fun things Ive done in a lot
of time.... I'm trying to find some time to finish task 16, but the
real world keeps getting in my way :/

The challenge is probably a great learning experience, but I assume
everyone is doing the same work?

If so, Greg KH has said that code clean-ups to the staging directory
are always accepted.

Just download the kernel source, cd into the staging directory and
start running checkpatch.pl against the various files.  When you find
issues, clean them up and submit a patch.

Greg KH walks through the process here:

Yes, just start with drivers/staging/*/TODO and go from there.  Help
there is always gladly appreciated.
