Hello,

We belong to a student group, LKCAMP [1], which is focused on sharing kernel and free software development knowledge and mentoring newcomers to become contributors to these projects.

As part of our efforts, we'll be organizing a hackathon to convert the drm selftests in drivers/gpu/drm/selftests/ (and possibly the ones in drivers/dma-buf too) to the KUnit framework. It will take place on October 30.

So please expect to receive some patches from our mentees on that date. It probably won't be a big volume (experience tells it'll be around half a dozen patches). We'll also make sure to do an internal review beforehand to catch common first-timer mistakes and teach the basics.

We're already working on making sure that the converted KUnit tests can still be run by IGT.

Please let us know if there's any issue with this date. Otherwise we look forward to helping a few newcomers get their patches in the kernel on the 30th :).

Welcome all, looking forward to cool stuff!

Cheers, Daniel

Thanks!
