[gentoo-dev] Looking for help with kernel maintenance

[Daniel Drake]

Hi,

I'm looking to find one or more people to help out with 
gentoo-sources-2.6 maintenance (our primary supported kernel). Right 
now, me and Mike Pagano do most of the kernel work. I disappear fairly 
often and it's always good to have more than 1 active person on the project.

I'm looking for someone with at least:
  - Interest in kernel stuff, or a desire to become interested
  - Time to put towards the tasks
  - Enthusiasm to ask lots of questions rather than let stuff
    sit around
  - Basic experience with bugzilla
  - Basic kernel experience (i.e. you can compile your own)

Having knowledge of kernel internals or experience with kernel hacking 
are NOT requirements because if you have time, interest and ask a lot of 
questions then these will come anyway. A lot of the work doesn't involve 
technical stuff, plus I was certainly very clueless about all this when 
I originally got involved a few years ago.

Being an existing Gentoo developer is not a requirement. Most of the 
work is done on bugzilla and via email. This may be a good opportunity 
to get involved with development and later become a Gentoo developer for 
those that are interested.

It's an enjoyable task, you get to interact with a lot of very 
intelligent people upstream and you end up learning a lot.

Email me (dsd@g.o) if you are interested!

Thanks,
Daniel
