Hello,
jy2wong will be teaching a class called, "A First Look at the Linux
Kernel". The class will cover the role of kernels in a system, why you
might want to consider compiling your own, and tips for not getting
lost in the configuration process during your first Linux kernel compile.
Prerequisites: While not necessary, it is useful to be familiar with
ABS [1] before taking the class. If you are unfamiliar with PKGBUILDs,
logs from past classes make an excellent primer. [2]
The class will be Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 16:00 UTC in the IRC
channel #archlinux-classroom on the Freenode network. If there is
enough interest, the class may also be held a second time on that day
for people from East Asia and Oceania. If you want the class being
held again for those timezones, please reply to this email indicating so.
About jy2wong in her own words: I'm a university student from Canada,
studying/doing research in something involving signal processing (that
lies somewhere between math and computers). I've installed Arch Linux
on my laptop about 4 times now, and the first 3 times were in my first
week of using Arch Linux (that was about 5 years ago). I've been
compiling my own kernel for the last 3 or 4 years. I think I'm
allergic to cats.

I'm interested in the repeated class for East Asia
