VM help?

VM help?

[Kirk True]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any VM work that needs help? Without some direction 
and goals (ones that are actually helpful) I don't fell like I'm getting 
anywhere in learning/helping kernel development. I feel like I'm trying 
to learn how to ride a bike by merely reading about it :(

Thoughts?

Thanks!
Kirk

Try hooking up with the kernel janitor project. You won't be doing high
profile work...just janitorial work on the kernel, help backporting
features and APIs, etc. However, if you are interested in understanding
the Linux kernel and becoming familiar with it, get involved.

Kernel-janitors, sure.  :)

Just a couple of small points:

a.  I don't accept backporting patches.  2.4.x is mostly closed
	except for bug fixing.
b.  If you find something that you want to do, ask about it first
	on the kernel-janitors@lists.osdl.org mailing list, to make
	sure that it's still valid and that you won't be duplicating
	someone else's work.
c.  and the current URL is:  http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/
