I am Ananya , a second year undergrad student ! am new to the open source community but want to be able to contribute ! I intend to apply for gsoc this summer . I know c and am acquainted with system programming in Linux . I would like to extend my knowledge by delving deeper and am interested in writing device drivers and kernel programming ,even though my knowledge is minimal ! However I am willing to learn about the art of writing device drivers and would like to work on writing a device driver as a project for gsoc this summer ! I would like some suggestions on what steps I should take to get a start to eventually reach my goal for this summer
