The LinuxChix Kernel Hacking course was created with the goal of encouraging more women to get involved in Linux kernel development. The biggest barrier to women participating in kernel development is self-confidence, so we provide encouragement, help, and mentoring on the grrls-only mailing list hosted here at LinuxChix. Real, live female kernel hackers are subscribed to this list and will be happy to answer your questions politely and helpfully. The grrls-only mailing list is only open to women, but everyone can read the lessons here on the web.

The "I" in the lessons is Val Henson , and the "we" is the entire grrls-only mailing list. The lessons have been updated for the 2.6 kernel by Lina Mårtensson. The web versions of the LinuxChix Kernel Hacking Lessons are created and maintained by Sonja Krause-Harder. And Mirian Ruiz translated the Kernel Hacking Lessons to Spanish
