| 21 | The purpose of this document is to help developers (and their managers) |
| 22 | work with the development community with a minimum of frustration. It is |
| 23 | an attempt to document how this community works in a way which is |
| 24 | accessible to those who are not intimately familiar with Linux kernel |
| 25 | development (or, indeed, free software development in general). While |
| 26 | there is some technical material here, this is very much a process-oriented |
| 27 | discussion which does not require a deep knowledge of kernel programming to |
| 28 | understand. |
