First, figure out *why* you want to contribute. https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2017-April/017765= .html > I've already subscribed to the Linux > kernel mailing list (linux-kernel=40vger.kernel.org), and I'm receiving= > lots of e-mails from other people who subscribed to LKML, with most > containing patches for many Linux drivers and subsystems. Congratulations. Hope you enjoy the email fire hose - LKML so far this month has been averaging some 1,153 mails a day - and that's *after* filtering out all of Greg KH's for-stable-review patch bombs. =22Note that nobody reads every post in linux-kernel. In fact, nobody who= expects to have time left over to actually do any real kernel work will read even= half. Except Alan Cox, but he's actually not human, but about a thousand gnomes= working in under-ground caves in Swansea. None of the individual gnomes r= ead=20 all the postings either, they just work together really well.=22 -- Linus= Torvalds Linus wrote that when LKML was running about 200 posts a dsay.... Most sane people only subscribe to the lists for the subsystems they=20 are interested in, and/or get really good at using procmail or other mail sorting/filtering software. --===============3779089868772601793== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies --===============3779089868772601793==--
