Linux kernel interaction

Until now, you were introduced to some of features of the Linux kernel. Now, it is time to present more information about the development process, versioning scheme, community contributions, and and interaction with the Linux kernel.

The development process

Linux kernel is a well known open source project. To make sure that developers know how to interact with it, information about how the git interaction is done with this project, and at the same time, some information about its development and release procedures will be presented. The project has evolved and its development processes and release procedures have evolved with it.

Before presenting the actual development process, a bit of history will be necessary. Until the 2.6 version of the Linux kernel project, one release was made every two or three years, and each of them was identified by even middle numbers, such as 1.0.x, 2.0.x, and 2.6.x.
