You may be able to use one of Debian's kernels (they probably have something) with Trisquel. Debian's also got a free software friendly kernel now (although other parts of Debian aren't FSF complaint).

So if I understood right. One good step to help is (for example) to create a documentation on how to create and submit a patch in order for those that want to help (and know how to code) but don't know what, where and when they must send the changes to do it easily ? I think that the proble
