hi all, I'm a developer who has atleast 3-4 hrs of spare time daily and would like to contribute it in woking on FreeBSD, the OS i love. Im really interested in working on some part of freebsd kernel. It would be great if someone comes up with a good part in kernel to start with. It will greatly help if someone guides me and act as a mentor. I think the following info will help. Im a C,C++/unix developer with 1 yr exp. I work on P4 , celeron x86 hardware (on FreeBSD 6.0 -RELEASE). regrds, ananth g. ********** DISCLAIMER ********** Information contained and transmitted by this E-MAIL is proprietary to Sify Limited and is intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a project to do. If the problem cannot be solved at all, it will be closed, rather than suspended." Of course, you can always take a look at an open PR. http://www.freebsd.org/support/bugreports.html Cheers, Erik
