I think people appreciate your enthusiasm. I do think that knowing C
programming is a prerequisite. So you need to start with that.
For the theory, if you want to start learning how the kernel works, I
recommend the book Linux Kernel Development [1] by Robert Love.
Another thing I would give you is this video [2] to know how to submit
your first patch.

Hi
Just curious to know about total number of linux kernel developers in the world who contribute to linux kernel codebase. Any wiki or webpage which mentions about it?
