Another good resource is the lse mailing list at: lse-tech@lists.sourceforge.net We have bi-weekly conference calls where anyone is welcome to join and ask questions or report your work or whatever. As a developer working on SMP scalability on Linux I would say it is getting better but we still have work to do.
