Hello list, I am interested towards contributing towards kernel in the form of patches bug fixes or small enhancements to start off. I have completed studying some of the pre-requisite books on kernel programming (RL, UTLK3, some parts of LDD3 - as suggested on other newbie threads) and also followed some of the threads which has enabled me to learn a lot more. Although am interested in contributing towards the kernel security or file systems project related to the kernel, I would take up other things to start of with. Please suggest what are the possible on going projects where I could contribute or start looking into. I was mostly thinking of LSM, SELinux or btrfs, Ext4 ? Can anyone provide any pointers or tutorials or the project page where I could do some additional reading to get some hands on ? Additionally couple of questions which remain unanswered in my mind are related to the kernel bugs. How do we look actually file bugs into when someone finds a bug should we notify the community in advance ? Does the bug get reviewed by the maintainers before its assigned? Does it get assigned to someone or can we pick up any open bug of our interest and try start fixing it ? Should we inform the maintainers or the sub-group as to who would be working on this? I apologize of having missed out any reading as I have asked too a many number of questions. Appreciate any suggestions from the list members.
