Hi RT users and developers, I was wondering if any RT maintainers or developers that are on this list need any help with tasks that they haven't had a chance to do (documentation, small fixes, testing etc)? I've been working with RTOS's, Linux and C for the past ten years, I've contribute to smaller open source projects in the past. I'm still a novice when it comes to working with the open source community and I'm reaching out to the list since if possible I'd like to work with someone to start. I know that not everyone has time to help but I thought I would reach out and see if I could help someone clear out some old tasks that need to be completed in exchange for some help getting started contributing to the RT project.
One thing which could be a good starting point is testing the various devel-rt and stable-rt releases. There are a bunch of tests tools in rt-tests (which could also some love). I am sure you will find things which are not working in either the kernel or in the rt-tests. Another related thing is automate the testing. For example I'm using LAVA[1] to orchistrate my small lab with Linaro's test-definitions[2] as test harness. Everthing is duck taped together but works pretty awesome for me. I've created a small (but horrible) python script which allows me to configure, build and submit the binaries for testing to LAVA in one go. Thanks, Daniel [1] https://github.com/igaw/lava-docker-compose/tree/lithium-setup [2] https://github.com/igaw/test-definitions/tree/preempt-rt
