Hi,

is possible to attend even if I'm not member of b42? I'm interested.

I guess you meant "b48" :) No problem, I'd say. Basically the only constraint would be size of the place. I don't think that would be a problem though; despite there's not much room in hackerspace I don't think the attendance would be too big. And even if it were I think we'd find a solution. I was initially not sure about potential interest, but at this point it seems big enough already. Therefore I'll go ahead and prepare materials as time permits. The actual workshop will likely take place some time in the second half of February and will be announced in advance on this list. Regards, Lubo

Thanks.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

would anyone around be interested in attending a workshop on basics of finding and debugging (and eventually fixing) common issues with Linux kernel?

Topics I'd initially cover would include leveraging in-kernel debugging facilities, techniques for capturing debug output from various crashes, understanding the captured data, and modifying, building and loading the altered kernel code with more debugging code or an actual fix.

Basically the only requirement would be knowing some C.

I'm interested and would like to attend.
