Kernelnewbies are a community of aspiring Linux kernel developers and more experienced developers willing to share their knowledge. We help each other learn how the Linux kernel works and occasionally discuss other operating system kernels.

Kernelnewbies can be found on the mailing list, on ["IRC"] (irc.oftc.net #kernelnewbies) and on this wiki.
