Hello everyone,

Apologies for that forwarded email which I hurriedly sent without
editing here!

I am an undergraduate student in ECE(3rd year) and wish to contribute to linux-wireless
drivers. I am familiar with the kernel development process and have many
patches accepted in the past 2 months with variety of tools used such as
coccinelle, Kasan, smatch, sparse and checkpatch.

My past contributions can be found here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?qt=grep&q=Himanshu+Jha

Also, James Cameron suggested me to *not self promot* and other useful
stuff. But I'm not self promoting and the purpose is to avoid the
initial steps that you generally recommend to a newbie like reading the
conding guideline, submitting patches, learn Git etc.

I have basic knowledge of Linux kernel internals and competent C skills,
also planning to learn Device Drivers in future. 

Also, since I am beginner is there any small project that I could work on
to enhance my knowledge. 
For eg:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/gsoc/2010/wifi-test-nl80211
It is an excellent page for a beginner like me that states what should
you follow and what documenation to read and other useful stuffs.

Please share any links to Documentation/tutorials which I can follow and
help the community.

Lastly, I will next year surely apply for GSoC under Linux-wireless and
I don't seem to find any participation since 2012. Could someone please
explain ? Also, will Linux-wireless participate next year ?

Basically, I want to be prepared beforehand so that I could contribute
successfully! 


Thanks 
Eagerly awaiting your response,
Himanshu Jha
