Howdy,
Looking for low-hanging fruit tasks that I can tackle. Any advice?
Hi Julian,
please have a look at http://kernelnewbies.org/y2038. It has a list of tasks in it. A lot of them are done by now, so if you want to start with something really basic, try to update the wiki page (let me know your kernelnewbies wiki user name if you need edit permissions) by marking the completed tasks.
Most of the low-hanging fruit involve device drivers that use a time_t, timespec or timeval internally, so they don't communicate with user space or another kernel subsystem.
