Note one important thing that your email must be in the [plain text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_text) format. Generally this two `git` commands: `send-email` and `format-patch` are very useful during development, look on the documentation for this commands and you will find many interesting and useful options: [git send-email](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email) and [git format-patch](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch).

* Do not be surprised if you do not get an answer right away after you will send your patch. Maintainers are people too and people can sometimes be busy * Do not be surprised if you do not get an immediate answer after you send your patch. Maintainers can be very busy.
* The [scripts](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/scripts) directory contains many different useful scripts that are related to the Linux kernel development. We already saw two scripts from this directory: the `checkpatch.pl` and the `get_maintainer.pl` scripts. Besides these two scripts you can find [stackusage](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/scripts/stackusage) script that will print usage of the stack as you can understand from the script's name, [extract-vmlinux](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/scripts/extract-vmlinux) for extracting uncompressed kernel image, and many others. Besides this `scripts` directory you can find some very useful [scripts](https://github.com/lorenzo-stoakes/kernel-scripts) by the [Lorenzo Stoakes](https://twitter.com/ljsloz) for kernel development. * The [scripts](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/scripts) directory contains many different useful scripts that are related to Linux kernel development.

* Subscribe to the Linux kernel mailing list. There are a large number of letters every day on `lkml`, but it is very useful to read them and understand things such as the current state of the Linux kernel. Other than `lkml` there are [set](http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html) mailing listings which are related to the different Linux kernel subsystems. * Subscribe to the Linux kernel mailing list.
