Why so silence this > mail-alias. Step 0: Figure out *why* you want to contribute. The answer you seek depends a lot on why you're asking the question.... Just because it sounds cool? You bought something on Ebay and discovered it doesn't have a driver? Your employer just told you that your company's new widget needs a driver? You have a particular interest in filesystems, or crypto, or hypervisors, or whatever? You just want to give back to the community? (If the latter, I suggest just building a new linux-next kernel every week or so, and report any issues. We need more testers more than we need more code, and the learning curve for testing is a *lot* lower...) In fact, here's the learning curve: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git $ git remote add linux-next git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git $ git fetch linux-next $ git fetch --tags linux-next (build and boot a test kernel) ... # later on a week or so later... $ git remote update (note that 'git pull' does *not* work for linux-next) (mount and boot a test kernel) Yeah, it really *is* that simple.. :)
