For me, I have 3 ideas about it if I am a newbie or a normal kernel developer: - Do I have enough basic skills for it? - Do I developed one or more another real world projects with C? (they are successful projects -- at least, not failure projects) - Can I construct related develop environments to support what I do? (e.g. building and testing for upstream kernel) - Am I familiar the basic working flow about kernel mailing list. (e.g. format-patch, sending patch, email client configuration...). - Do I have a correct attitude on it? - Am I careful enough? (e.g. if find some details may doubt, try to check and clear them) (it is always neccessary for all patches) - Am I try my best for it? (e.g. when finish coding, try what I can do: build, run and test). (it is neccessary for most cases) - Do I have negative effect with others? (e.g. discourage the newbies, or send spam to other members ...). (need always try to avoid) - Do I really love programming, also love open source kernel? - Do I love it, or I have to do it for another reason? (I guess, most of gmail members in open source, love programming). - Do I still love programming if I am discouraged by any members? - Do I still love open source kernel if discouraged by any members? Thanks.
