Working with the kernel development community
=============================================
So you want to be a Linux kernel developer? Welcome! While there is a lot
to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
to learn about how our community works. Reading these documents will make
it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
trouble.
Below are the essential guides that every developer should read.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
license-rules
howto
code-of-conduct
code-of-conduct-interpretation
development-process
submitting-patches
handling-regressions
programming-language
coding-style
maintainer-handbooks
maintainer-pgp-guide
email-clients
kernel-enforcement-statement
kernel-driver-statement
Other guides to the community that are of interest to most developers are:
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
changes
submitting-drivers
stable-api-nonsense
management-style
stable-kernel-rules
submit-checklist
kernel-docs
deprecated
embargoed-hardware-issues
maintainers
researcher-guidelines
These are some overall technical guides that have been put here for now for
lack of a better place.
