So you want to be a Linux kernel developer? Welcome! While there is a lot
|

|
to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
|
|
|
|
to learn about how our community works. Reading these documents will make
|
|
|
|
it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
|
|
|
|
trouble.

|
