Awesome! I can't wait to dig through this, I've been wanting to contribute to the linux kernel for over 2 years but no one on the linux mailing lists seemed interested in helping a newbie (so much for kernel newbies). Thanks for putting this together.

If you want to contribute, fix bugs found by syzbot [0], there's an endless backlog there.

It's the fastest way to get your hands dirty, familiar with a variety of subsystems, and land meaningful, appreciated patches upstream.

The Linux Foundation recently released a free course as well titled "A Beginner's Guide to Linux Kernel Development" - haven't taken it yet, but another resource for the community:

Absolutely, same goes for anyone else who comes across this and is interested in kernel development.
