Thread: so if I wanted to contribute to the linux kernel
but total programming newb, mean know what
<body>
<header>
is. it. i've build few pc's, tower, psu, mobo, processor in socket, heatsink, ram, cd rom drive, hard disk drive, raid installs, understand concept of onboard devices or installed devices in expansion slots such pcie. same people here i'm not going claim i'm expert. worked windows, mac once or twice, ubuntu, linux mint, few other distros. know things example windows use files .net framework, open gl, direct x, system 32. know 'terms' interrupt request. know .iso is. flash drive. anyway i'll stop here wanted very basic moment.
figure has no programming experience might not know how contribute linux kernel, , barely know terminal commands know things such sudo su , sudo apt-get install , ifconfig etc.
besides installing linux , enjoying it's use free server freely distributable operating system, contribute kernel. love things such android phones, hear os formed linux kernel @ 1 point. hear @ 1 point mac os (way before hfs) written linux model. know linus tourvald attended mit? correct? in 1969? improve os, bug testing? reverse engineering windows apps work linux drivers? anything? i'd love help, , know people contribute linux kernel work free. downloading windows 8 beta(32 bit version) , install in virtual box.
otherwise know little programming, know there java, c++, .php, apache web apps, html, ports, root files, bash command shell. etc. etc. ext file system. umm, today, if wanted begin on path contributing team. i'll honest, linux apps hate, example thunderbird , evolution, outlook better, know both use pop(incoming) , smtp(outgoing) don't particularly thunderbird or evolution open source apps. respect open source apps. use open source or open trial apps even, use microsoft security essentials , malware bytes(not developed of course linux team). respect open source, , if thought there way make open source work better, i'd love contribute. wants hit me with, go ahead. i'd rather day work @ best buy on geek squad. love building pc's, starting mobo , working up, hate dealing corporate restrictions. i've had qualms windows viruses, bugs, bsod, reactivation problems, drivers, etc. don't want reinvent wheel anyway shoot me pm or reply here. i'll work on if it's tiny if me improve knowledge of working operating functioning operating systems , network , program/application usability abilities. make sense?
don't make me lead believe know thing flash. know flash java right? java not flash. html5 makes use of flash moot right? otherwise, smart phone devices not able use flash they?
if know little programming out of discussion contribute kernel programmer. however, there lot of other areas contribute. page shows few options available you
http://www.ubuntu.com/community
among these options documentation , bug tracking, can done no programming knowledge. , of course, there forum, needs people others.
