How do I communicate with the Ubuntu kernel team?
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is located in disparate cities throughout the world. We utilize IRC to communicate with each other as well as the Ubuntu user community. The team hangs out on the #ubuntu-kernel channel on FreeNode. There is usually someone from the team in the channel 24hrs a day Monday through Friday. If you do join the channel, please be patient after asking your question, if you don't get an answer right away.
A good place to look for answers to these kinds of questions is the Ubuntu Kernel Team's wiki specifically the FAQ.
