[Buildroot] buildroot development activities - query

[Dinesh Guleria]

Hello Everyone,

I have joind buildroot list last month only. At present i am going through
the Linux material on Free electron site.

I use to find that community is vary active & many mails (related to
patches applied) flow into my inbox every day.

I am curious to know these mails are about development of buildroot itself
or using buildroot to make embedded linux system ?

Being a buildroot community members how one can contribute back ?

Please suggest.

Regards,
Katoch

 Hi Katoch,

completely different from their address :-)]

 In buildroot, we consider that there is not much difference between a user and
a developer. In most cases when you really use buildroot for a product, you will
need to e.g. add packages to it. Because of this, we decided a couple of years
ago that it doesn't make sense to split the mailing list in a -users and
-developers list.

 However, this is up for discussion again at the developer meeting two weeks
from now. If you have an opinion, now is the time to speak up!

 You're already subscribed to the list, so the first step is done :-)
