Hello, IIO!

This is Nishant Malpani, a fourth-year integrated Master's student, 
majoring in Electronics and Communications (ECE) engineering, at 
International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, India 
(IIIT-B).

Driven by my thirst to gain knowledge about the Linux kernel and its 
various subsystems, I would like to be a part of the IIO community and 
receive some insights on how to commence contributing.

Formally, I've done a course on 'Linux Device Driver Development' at my 
institute wherein I learnt about the various subsystems in the Linux 
kernel of which IIO was one of them. I learnt extensively about IIO 
Channels, Triggers, Buffers, Events etc. and further concluded by taking 
up MCP3008 ADC as a case-study. I'm familiar with the development 
process and initiated my contribution by submitting a naive patch [1] 
(although it does need an update). I've also invested some time 
completing IIO-related tasks listed on what seems like an outdated page 
[2]. I'm aware of the previous conversations undertaken in this mailing 
list [3] but I wasn't sure if somebody is already working on it. I'd be 
delighted to contribute to any of the open tasks!

Thank you all for your time.

With regards,
Nishant Malpani
