It's going to be a really hard time for a newcomer to get up to speed enough to produce a useful and usable patch every 3 days on the average, especially across multiple areas of the kernel. More realistic goal: 1) Get a patch accepted. 2) Get another patch accepted. 3) Re-evaluate how many patches you can actually do. --==_Exmh_1359070263_1950P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iQIVAwUBUQHENwdmEQWDXROgAQLDTA/9F4CNd/aMH/ygxoYtdVaP/MVvvrld88DI Desp5JqNxwQyIgSYNC4/DMHGrCOe39YEJHyrN6t3kVfIrA7slaN1fdV00m81v9Kx e3mSfuLC7z1lZPljoT9j75A9MYkte9FFbgTSpY+JNkMrskgkwYexUHwjKNw0vrgo ec5VMWYLJeK3U3wVoJoIIJBqiCS9gvt5Nxz8FcdXu73PT2Bn/OrKmJrgJMROJxcQ C0bKkISLTDVO+O15eui1JbjG3ewiifGW+72LwpiBObEPWwBIYmUhan2aq8LEcKtS qfURLLfQM4RdkhkHHBmZYqiRs+HNa6gwW7GlUdHXFYhQwbMbDOG2n0ciN/M0d7XQ 1OcyHJAQGVH4Lm5OYvfEXPUAFulSKZxMBRyqdJX+iEsgQJFjWciuQsD+7LtWAmYN m9tFDxBlNox59c0QxcerOweqaA/9IT4xaADL2+T8LjCpTx4TYeyjLJ5NO2qYqShY A3EbuLhFdbgR3nFROC2V9PfY92G0i8vbfDYgfpDsI+u019J4A5yrIBmlLnBDCIrX 2yPtsjZ55XfY6rLJX8BfRQsiE5OvYx0uEXqtvhP6d1ynO6Vbot4BlZaopxK5PcGt eYWuiyWLGimeqRyoZfALOUP6F7F/X3bgKqWE5YD+LiimLa22CPHZcysp6gksruIq 5Raa1JIPtxA= =v0wH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1359070263_1950P--
