Summary:
The N9 kernel currently used with various Mer images is based on old 2.6.32 maemo kernel. This page collects needed info for any developers who might want to help in updating that kernel to latest linux-stable version.
Note for N950 users: the N950 support is there but it's not tested very well as we develop with N9 mostly, so issues may appear. N950 patches also very welcome though.


Contact info:
IRC: #mer and #nemomobile @irc.freenode.net
Mailing list: mer-general@lists.merproject.org
CC mer-general if you send patches to upstream lists like linux-omap
