Guidance on GSoC 2025 and Future Involvement in IIO

[rose]

Hi everyone!



Hope you're all doing well.I'm a CS student and has been interested in Linux kernel development,

While I'm still new to kernel contributions and open source in general,I'm really eager to learn and get started.

As a beginner, I find it a bit difficult to find good resources that could help me get comfortable with IIO or kernel

development. If anyone has some time, I’d really appreciate any suggestions or recommended resources that could help me.

I’m also interested in participating in GSoC 2025, but after looking at past proposals and timelines  that is 

asking for the exact time line which i  dont  know  yet  and have no experince  in contributing  so ,  I’m not sure if

someone totally new to the Linux kernel would have a good chance of getting accepted. Do you think it's worth applying,

or should I focus on contributing first and try in the future? Any advice would be really helpful!

 Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thanks,
Roseoriana
