Q: What topics are you interested in? A: kernel driver development, x86 & ARM hardware architecture, Math, Data structures, Rust and virtualisation. Q: What do you want to learn about? A: I see the KSPP project/initiative as a way to get exposed to pieces of code that I wouldn't normally come across which is always appreciated :) I am also aware of the calibre of developers I will be dealing with and I'm sure that I will be learning really a lot from them :) Q: What experience do you have with security, the kernel, programming, or anything else you think is important. A: I've contributed to the kernel a few times time in the past for both adding features and janitorial tasks. I took the Linux Kernel Internals (LF420) and the Linux Kernel Debugging and Security (LF44) courses by the Linux Foundation. As for other experiences, due to the fact that I wrote my hobbyist OS, I do have a decent experience with the x86/x86-64 architecture. I also spent quite sometime writing static analysis parsers.... so should those experiences help anyone or any possible future plan for the KSPP, please count on me. Thanks! Paulo Almeida
