Hi

I have been working on Linux OS for the last 10 years and it has been

exiting and challenging to learn new technologies based on Linux. I am
basically a Sys Admin for Linux with bash programming and configuring and
setting up Linux Server including network services like BIND DNS,Apache
etc...

Although i do not know C and ASM Language, I am very much eager to start
learning Linux Kernel Code and contribute to linux kernel codebase

Please guide/suggest me.

Hello!

I think people appreciate your enthusiasm. I do think that knowing C
programming is a prerequisite. So you need to start with that.
For the theory, if you want to start learning how the kernel works, I
recommend the book Linux Kernel Development [1] by Robert Love.
Another thing I would give you is this video [2] to know how to submit
your first patch.

Hi

Just curious to know about total number of linux kernel developers in the
world who contribute to linux kernel codebase. Any wiki or webpage which
mentions about it?

Regards
