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 I've also invested some time completing IIO-related tasks listed on what seems like an outdated page [2].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.
