Linaro Connect Q4.11 - Participating in the Linaro community
Channel: LinaroOrg
Date: 2011-11-06

Andy Doan, my colleague in the Engineering Resources team, presented a tutorial targeting both new Linaro engineers and new community contributors.

He started with tips on how to say "Hi" to an impressive number of people, and how communication is different from what happens in the proprietary world.

He then addressed the problem of getting started with complex projects such as the Linux kernel, and give useful tips for finding relevant resources on the Linux wiki and mailing lists.

Last but not least, he gave advise on contributing code to Linaro projects, in particular for code contributions.

The session ended by an interesting Q&A session with several Ubuntu community members who were in the room and were just curious about Linaro. This gave me the idea to organize a "Linaro for Ubuntu community members" talk at the next UDS.
