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.

Btrfs mailing list.

Linux kernel-janitors discussion, going through the Linux kernel source code, doing code reviews, fixing up unmaintained code and doing other cleanups and API conversions. It is a good start to kernel hacking.

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.

Linux ext4 file system development.

UCARP allows a couple of hosts to share common virtual IP addresses in order to provide automatic failover. It is a portable userland implementation of the secure and patent-free Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD’s alternative to the patents-bloated VRRP).

Ongoing development of the Reiser filesystems.

Discussion surrounding the development of the MadWifi and ath5k wireless Ethernet device drivers.

Linux C programming language discussion.

A mailing list about the Tux3 versioning filesystem.

Git is the change-tracking tool used by the Linux kernel developers, originally written by Linus Torvalds. This mailing list is where git development happens.

The Linux USB mailing list.

Git commits to the 2.6 Linux kernel.

Linux Security Modules (LSM) development mailing list.

Linux input device development.

The original Linux kernel discussion forum, originally a mailing list it eventually became the newsgroup comp.os.linux. Our archive includes postings from 1991, 1992, and 1993. Originally described as:

"Linux_activists is a discussion archive of the mailing list about Linux, a free unix-like kernel for 386-AT computers, coming with full source code. It is meant for hackers/computer science students to use, learn and enjoy."

Automated mail-out of OpenBSD CVS source tree changes in all the repositories other than ports.

OpenBSD bug reports as sent in via sendbug(1) and follow-up discussions.

Discussion of IPv6 and IPsec in OpenBSD.

This low volume list receives OpenBSD security advisories and pointers to security patches as they become available.
