Thank you for the opportunity to collaborate with you and improve Tianocore! If anyone has any questions, please fire away :) How do I get started? I'd like to find some easier tasks as to start trying out patch submission and generally programming in a firmware environment. Also, I've been talking with my mentors and a relevant question to ask the mailing list is: Where should we put the EXT4 driver? Michael said there are other filesystems in MdeModulePkg, but it might be getting too big and proposed the following options: 1) EXT4 in new package in edk2 repo as a peer to FatPkg. 2) EXT4 in edk2 repo in MdeModulePkg 3) EXT4 in edk2-platforms advanced feature package. 4) EXT4 in edk2 advanced feature package As someone that's still learning how to navigate the project's tree(s), this is a bit over my head and so I'd like your opinion on the matter. Also, I would love if someone could point me to some good reading material and/or examples of the package/build system, as I couldn't find documentation on those and my previous experiment with Tianocore involved looking at FatPkg and mindlessly copying what it was doing.
