Regards, Kaushal Hello! You could start by looking through the site of this community [0]. They have some pointers. You should take a look at this video [1] first. It's a brief intro on how the Linux Kernel community works. But first, you should be familiar with C programming (it's good if you did some system programming in C). If you have the basic C experience and if you want to go onto kernel programming (not that hard) you should try reading some books (I would recommend these [2] [3]). After that, use the source! And if you get stuck, ask around (here, for example). Good luck and happy hacking!

Oh, and as a teaser, for the past year of releases, 2.6.36 - 3.1.0 (October 2010 to October 2011) there was 2889 different developers who got patches accepted into the Linux kernel codebase. greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies Hi Kaushal Goof to hear you want to be part of Linux Kernel, here is a good article of How to participate on the Linux Community http://www.linuxfoundation.org/content/how-participate-linux-community-0 Learn GIT (maybe you already know it ) http://git-scm.com/ Clone the mainstream Kernel by it self http://kernel.org/ Check the code you will see that must of the code is in C Now after you feel confident on C (recommended book = C Programming Language Kernighan) you can start to run the latest Kernel on your Linux machine, subscribe to an specific Mailing list of development you want to follow, apply the RFC patches and check if it works , suggest new ideas or even work on the solution for existing bugs in bugzila. Have fun :) Check on the article for this good advice Andrew Morton gives this advice for aspiring kernel developers The #1 project for all kernel beginners should surely be make sure that the kernel runs perfectly at all times on all machines which you can lay your hands on. Usually the way to do this is to work with others on getting things fixed up (this can require persistence!) but that's fine--it's a part of kernel development. Hope it helps Victor Rodriguez Hi Victor, Thanks a lot for the encouragement. I am obliged and got motivated. You said subscribe to an specific Mailing list of development you want to follow, apply the RFC patches and check if it works ,suggest new ideas or even work on the solution for existing bugs in bugzilla Development of Kernel Mailing list - http://www.tux.org/lkml/#s3-1 is this correct ? Not sure about RFC Patches and existing bugs in bugzilla. Please point me to the relevant web page.

Learning Linux Kernel
Hi I have been working on Linux OS for the last 10 years and it has been very exiting and challenging to learn new technologies based on Linux. I am basically a Sys Admin for Linux with bash programming and configuring and setting up Linux Server including network services like BIND DNS,Apache etc... Although i do not know C and ASM Language, I am very much eager to start learning Linux Kernel Code and contribute to linux kernel codebase sometimes down the line. Please guide/suggest me.

Regards, Hello! I think people appreciate your enthusiasm. I do think that knowing C programming is a prerequisite. So you need to start with that. For the theory, if you want to start learning how the kernel works, I recommend the book Linux Kernel Development [1] by Robert Love. Another thing I would give you is this video [2] to know how to submit your first patch.
