Thanks to this thread and the GMN, the response in my inbox has been positively overwhelming. I responded to everybody until a point, and was pleasantly surprised at how many people actually followed through with interest and enthusiasm (#gentoo-kernel is buzzing with new faces!!) Anyway, I don't believe there are ever too many kernel maintainers, but the model I'm using is getting people to ask lots of questions and there are only so many people me and Mike can work with at once. So, I'm temporarily withdrawing this request for help while we get the current respondents more and more involved to the point where they can start answering their own questions. But feel free to email me anyway and I'll add you to the list of people we contact when we have more capacity again. Daniel

Most of the documentations I've found are about old kernel versions (2.4 series). Ask this on the gentoo-kernel list, please. I'm happy to help, but there are many people there who would also appreciate being part of the discussion. Thanks, Daniel

I have experience writing gentoo ebuilds and have Bugzilla account on bugs.gentoo.org, have contributed several ebuilds into sunrise overlay, mostly also very simple; So please me tell what's up? Why not have a starting guide page for the guys like me? Or you have one already?

Re: [gentoo-dev] Looking for help with kernel maintenance
Sorry for top post... it isn't my normal behavior. I would be interested. I have always compiled my own and I have time to help. Best part is that I need an excuse to get back to working with gentoo again. I'm not sure what sort of duties you are looking to have performed but I'll tell a bit about me. I used to follow LKML for fun and to keep abreast of what was going on. I know how to use patch -p1. I've been a unix and linux admin for 7 years now. I currently hold a QA position with a software company. I learned to submit good bugs from years of using open source and have familiarity with several bug tracking suites. Bugzilla has changed some since I've used it but I'm sure I'll be able to pick it up quickly. What else would you like to know? ./owen Daniel Drake wrote: I'm looking to find one or more people to help out with gentoo-sources-2.6 maintenance (our primary supported kernel).

[gentoo-dev] Looking for help with kernel maintenance
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
