Hi,
I'm looking to find one or more people to help out with
gentoo-sources-2.6 maintenance (our primary supported kernel). Right
now, me and Mike Pagano do most of the kernel work. I disappear fairly
often and it's always good to have more than 1 active person on the project.
I'm looking for someone with at least:
- Interest in kernel stuff, or a desire to become interested
- Time to put towards the tasks
- Enthusiasm to ask lots of questions rather than let stuff
sit around
- Basic experience with bugzilla
- Basic kernel experience (i.e. you can compile your own)
Having knowledge of kernel internals or experience with kernel hacking
are NOT requirements because if you have time, interest and ask a lot of
questions then these will come anyway. A lot of the work doesn't involve
technical stuff, plus I was certainly very clueless about all this when
I originally got involved a few years ago.
Being an existing Gentoo developer is not a requirement. Most of the
work is done on bugzilla and via email. This may be a good opportunity
to get involved with development and later become a Gentoo developer for
those that are interested.
It's an enjoyable task, you get to interact with a lot of very
intelligent people upstream and you end up learning a lot.
Email me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if you are interested!
Thanks,
Daniel
