IIO Kernel Development, From Zero to Hero

Hi, I am Cristina and I’m doing an internship at The Linux Foundation this summer, as part of the Outreachy program, for which I’ve been selected.

I haven’t been involved too much into open source development and I’ve always wished to be, so that when I heard the program was opened, I saw it as the perfect chance to start contributing and be part of a community.

The process of selection lasted from the end of February until April, time in which I’ve got accustomed with the work environment, kernel development practices and wrote a few patches for a project I liked. I did my best in trying to know the project as much as I could and finally got accepted!
