| [http://coccinelle.lip6.fr Coccinelle] is a program matching and transformation tool for C code that has been used extensively in contributing to the Linux kernel, for both both code evolutions and bug fixes. Coccinelle is driven by specifications, known as semantic patches, that use a notation based on C code, and are this fairly easy to develop. Around 40 semantic patches are included with the Linux kernel source code, in scripts/coccinelle, and are used in the continuous testing service provided by Intel. |

| The goal of this internship is to help build up the set of semantic patches that are included in the Linux kernel. This will involve primarily hardening semantic patches that have been developed previously, and putting them in the form used in the semantic patches Linux kernel. There is ample opportunity to contribute patches to Linux source code as part of the semantic patch hardening process.

Outreachy (formerly FOSS Outreach Program for Women (OPW) and Project Ascend Alumni)
Please see the Outreachy homepage for an introduction to the program.
The application period for Round 18 will open on Feb. 18, 2019! Please follow the setup directions and complete the first patch tutorial before submitting patches to the mailing list.
Important Update This year, applicants are expected to check their eligibility before getting started with patch submissions.
Welcome Outreachy applicants! Our round 17 sponsors have generously donated funds for internships for women, genderqueer, genderfluid, or genderfree people, and residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander to work on the Linux kernel. The kernel is the most basic layer of the Linux operating system. It encompasses many things: hardware drivers, filesystems, security, task scheduling, and much more.
News This year, we ask that you send all patches to the appropriate staging driver maintainers, as well as to the outreachy mailing list. See Submit a patch for more information. Please do not start with project specific tasks before sending 10 cleanup patches and 2 patchsets in the outreachy kernel mailing list. For IIO patches, be sure to send them to linux-iio@vger.kernel.org

Optionally, we would love it if you have basic operating system knowledge, know your way around a Linux/UNIX command line, and/or know the revision system called git. Please note that these three skills can be learned during the internship.
Some projects may have small tasks you can complete as part of the application process. Do not start on these tasks until after you complete the first patch tutorial and Greg Kroah-Hartman has accepted at least ten of your cleanup patches and two of your patchsets. In order to ensure applicants aren't working on the same task, we need your help in coordinating who is working on what task.
