Hi,
I'm looking to find one or more people to help out with
gentoo-sources-2.6 maintenance (our primary supported kernel).
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

Hi Daniel,
I talked with you quickly on the irc.
I'm interested in helping gentoo with kernel related stuff.
I have a base kernel knowledge, but in these last few days I've been reading
lots of kernel related stuff, I got very interested on it and want to learn
more about it.
I generally have more then 4 hours a day to work on this kind of thing, so,
maybe I can help the team.
No problems with bugzilla, I've working using it for the last few years.
I've been using gentoo for more than 2 years, and now that I I'm graduated and
have some available time, I want to spend it on this kind of thing.
If you could send more info about the work it'd be nice!
Thanks,

Daniel,
I would love to be more involved in kernel details. I've been in
gentoo-mips for a long time and considering that I have no more mips
hardware to speak of, my ability to do developer related things has
diminished. However, I still wish to see Gentoo flurish and more
importantly I want to be more involved in kernel level activity.
I meed your basic requirements, you can find me on #gentoo-mips if you
wish to talk further.
Thank you for your time and have a great day -- Bret (psi29a) Curtis

Count me in.
Recently I've been having fun knocking up kernel modules at work so I
understand the build system reasonably well. Happy to help wherever.
Cheers
Rob

Hi,
I would like to help, I'm a normal user but I think the kernel It is a
very interesting way to begin to know linux more thoroughly.

Hey,
Count me in on this one. I'm taking a sabbatical from university this year,
so I have lots of time to waste.
Plus the linux kernel has since forever been on my "to-do" list.
Cheers,
Joris (krolden)
