Takeaways from this session
Structured Contribution Process: Contributing to the Linux kernel involves a well-defined process, including identifying the area of change, adhering to coding standards, creating patches, and submitting them to the appropriate maintainers for review
Challenges for New Contributors: It can be difficult for newcomers to find “good first issues” for contributing to the Linux kernel. By providing specific issues to attendees I can help them kickstart their journey in kernel development.
Potential Growth in Contributions: By guiding new contributors and helping them find starting points, the Linux kernel community is likely to gain a few more contributors
