Contributing code back to community: that is more important. And harder part is once you get job, the priorities shuffle towards making it run, rather than getting it done correctly or even giving back what was once taken from community.

hey all.
those who want to know..i did nothing big magical. just asked people who are already working ..like many of us ask on this list only
then followed what they said.
its like one thing i learnt is ...
"Better try it once then again then again before asking it once."
as asking fetches partial may be incorrect knowledge but asking after rehearsing things
will fetch you correct information.
it requires persistence no doubt after when it seems no use of it .
i did very normal things like
studying
1)Bach
2)ALP
3)UTLK
4)LDD
then i was still stuck to get a project in resume.
then explore open source sourceforge community ...
its difficult i accept totally.... rather it was very very difficult to get a single project from thousands lying there .
but only hope was it wasnt impossible.
and i got a few ...
that's all is reqd for getting shortlisted.
after that you are on your own .good projects just mean getting shortlisted ...that's it ..
The Complete game is still left .... to successfully clear interview is with another effort in C data structures then kernel ofcourse.
that's was all.

Just read your mail on the newbie list. Heartiest congratulations on your success !!
I hope you can share a "guru-mantra" with me. I have always been working over the web in my B.Tech career, but linux and kernel development have always fascinated me. I am about to complete my engineering studies in a month, but I want to have some linux project in my hand before I leave. Can you please suggest me a small module ? I am interested in networking, and have used pcap libraries for sniffing - I wanted to write my own network driver and configure pcap to use mine. After lots of reading, I am still stuck up with just a dream and no output :(
I would be grateful if you can help me out in achieving my aim...I hold a lot of reverence for you after silently observing your posts for so many days :)
Thanks in anticipation,
Deepak Mishra

People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot.
