Hi,
https://scan.coverity.com/
You would get regular Coverity scans of kernel. You can fix one of these get started.
The ideal way to start is to write some basic kernel drivers. Look for the tutorial at the following links -
1. Linux Device Drivers 3 examples updated to work in recent kernels http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596005900/
Once you are done and want to pick up a real task -
1. Try to implement a TODO in staging area drivers -
Most of these folders have a TODO file and maintainer info.
2. Sign up for a coverity account and join the Linux project.

Heh... it's called the eudyptula challenge, not the eucalyptus challenge. Also,
please don't top-post.
Sorry for top-posting and the typo.
