Do you wanna be a kernel newbie ???
I was listening to an interview with Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman on the Linux Link Tech show (Episode# 185) where I heard there is demand for Linux kernel developers. When asked how to go about becoming a kernel developer Greg suggested the site kernelnewbies.org.
Also, as a goof, Greg put together a LINUX Device Driver Kit (DDK) so Linux has a DDK just like all the other operating systems. (For those of you who don't get it: Linux is totally open source so why would you need a DDK???) In any event ... It's a great collection of all the documentation you might need to do Linux kernel development on one CD.

After doing kernel development for 15 years (VM/CMS), I thought I could do kernel level work in Linux. Not even close. Five to seven million lines of changes every two to three months, with two thousand active developers! And that's the kernel alone. I am properly humbled.
