My name is Levente Kurusa, 17 years old and I am from Hungary. I have been a Linux user for 5 years now, and this is what I prefer over anything else. Linux gives me the freedom to make the most powerful applications with the most powerful tools ever created. My software engineering career began with a very unfortunate event, I broke my leg. After having played with all my toys and getting bored, I sat down to my father's notebook. It had Windows 98 (pfft) on it and no games, so I began creating a text adventure one. I searched and read some books and then I finished it. The source code was unfortunately lost. Ever since I am obsessed with computer programming. Lately, I have began to develop the Linux kernel itself and this is where I have found my true self. It is amazing. I love it.

Linux Kernel Engineering
History
I am a kernel engineer for two years now. First I began with the development of my own UNIX-like kernel, LevOS. I have ported a C library from Red Hat to it, so it is pretty powerful. Unfortunately, my ext2 driver is very bad so it would need a full rewrite to be able to write files which is a step for the GCC port. After realising that such a project really has no other benefit to the community I began the development of the Linux Kernel. This goes pretty fine. I am posting patches, reviewing patches and helping with the maintenance of various parts of the kernel.
Current projects
- I plan to be able to longterm maintain the 3.13 kernel once it finishes with the stable-cycle.
- device_generic_release() function to save kernel size.
- a complete rewrite of the ata_piix driver for the ICH* SATA controllers.
- add put_device() calls after a failed device_register() as per GregKH's comments.
Events so far
- FSF Free Software Conference Open Source Lab, Szeged 2013. nov. 29. - as a speaker: Linux Kernel - Introduction
- Link will be here sooner or later.
