Practical Technology: Everything you wanted to know about being a Linux kernel developer (but were afraid to ask)

Steven Vaughan-Nichols covers the release of the new LF guide to participating in the Linux kernel community, penned by Jon Corbet.

“The book got its start, Amanda McPherson, Linux Foundation vice president of marketing and developer programs, explained at the Linux Foundation’s April meeting in Austin Tex. There, McPherson said, several hardware and software developers talked about their troubles in finding who they should talk to in the Linux community to address their concerns, or, for that matter, how they could contribute to Linux. One of the results was the Linux Application Checker, which enables ISVs (independent software vendors) to more easily create applications that will run on multiple Linux distributions and the other is Corbet and the Linux Foundation’s new Linux Developer Network book.”
