Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm looking to find one or more people to help out with |
| 4 |
gentoo-sources-2.6 maintenance (our primary supported kernel). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I'm looking for someone with at least: |
| 7 |
- Interest in kernel stuff, or a desire to become interested |
| 8 |
- Time to put towards the tasks |
| 9 |
- Enthusiasm to ask lots of questions rather than let stuff |
| 10 |
sit around |
| 11 |
- Basic experience with bugzilla |
| 12 |
- Basic kernel experience (i.e. you can compile your own) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Having knowledge of kernel internals or experience with kernel hacking |
| 15 |
are not requirements because if you have time, interest and ask a lot of |
| 16 |
questions then these will come anyway. A lot of the work doesn't involve |
| 17 |
technical stuff, plus I was certainly very clueless about all this when |
| 18 |
I originally got involved a couple of years ago. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Being an existing Gentoo developer is not a requirement. Most of the |
| 21 |
work is done on bugzilla and via email. This may be a good opportunity |
| 22 |
to get involved with development and later become a Gentoo developer for |
| 23 |
those that are interested. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
It's an enjoyable task, you get to interact with a lot of very |
| 26 |
intelligent people upstream and you end up learning a lot. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I still intend to continue working on gentoo-sources in large capacity, |
| 29 |
but would like to be able to have more time to spend on more aggressive |
| 30 |
regression fixing and upstream kernel development. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Contact me offlist or on IRC if you are interested. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Thanks, |
| 35 |
Daniel |
