The Linux kernel mailing list (LKML) is focused on the discussion of Linux kernel development. Our archives of this mailing list start in January of 2007.

Kernelnewbies are a community of people that improve or update their Kernels and of aspiring Linux kernel developers and more experienced developers willing to share their knowledge. We help each other learn how the Linux kernel works and occasionally discuss other operating system kernels.

The netdev mailing list is used for network development (not user questions).

The Linux Driver Project is focused on creating and maintaining OpenSource Linux kernel drivers for all types of devices. The developer mailing list is where the new projects are announced and asked for volunteers from, discussions about the project either technical or procedural, and is the general location for anyone wishing to help out with the Linux Driver Project.

A mailing list for coordinating ath5k development, for a first review of patches, and so on.

Sparse, the semantic parser, provides a compiler frontend capable of parsing most of ANSI C as well as many GCC extensions, and a collection of sample compiler backends, including a static analyzer also called "sparse". Sparse provides a set of annotations designed to convey semantic information about types, such as what address space pointers point to, or what locks a function acquires or releases. Linus Torvalds started writing Sparse in 2003, initially targeting issues such as mixing pointers to user address space and pointers to kernel address space. As of 2006, Josh Triplett now maintains Sparse.

This mailing list is dedicated to discussions and ideas pertaining to Tech Source's free-software-friendly graphics products. There is a great need in the Free Software and Open Source communities for graphics cards which have open specifications, and my employer, Tech Source, would like to meet those needs in a technically and economically feasible way.

Announcements regarding the Open Graphics project.
