I was originally working on the Outreachy LLVM project but had short term health problems, and that meant I let that opportunity get away. > > Finally, it seems we won't be holding to the traditional 10 cleanup > patch requirement this round!

I dug through a little more than a page of Linux mailing list messages but was able to glean a bunch of things that were helpful. These are things like patch creation best practices, posting on code style, joining a mailing list, and documentation. Hope to hear from everyone later. (here's a question: is it best practice to include 100 percent of the message pre-insertion of comments, or can I delete some of the original message?) > Thanks, > Alison > > >
