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 couple of 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. I still intend to continue working on gentoo-sources in large capacity, but would like to be able to have more time to spend on more aggressive regression fixing and upstream kernel development. Contact me offlist or on IRC if you are interested. Thanks, Daniel -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
