Write and Submit Your First Linux Kernel Patch

Greg Kroah-Hartman, Novell

This tutorial will cover the steps necessary to properly compose, describe, and submit a Linux kernel patch.  It will cover the basic usage of git, and how that works with the Linux kernel development cycle.  As part of the tutorial, every attendee will compose and submit a patch to the Linux kernel that will be included in the main kernel tree.

Every attendee should have a solid grasp of the C language, and know how to build and install, a Linux kernel from scratch (if not, reading the book, Linux Kernel in a Nutshell, free online, ahead of time would be a very good idea.)  The latest source tree, from the git repository, of the Linux kernel should be installed on every attendees laptop before they arrive.
