Today we celebrate the completion of our 30 Linux Kernel Developers in 30 Weeks series. We've talked to 30 of the world's best developers over the last eight months in an effort to learn more about how the world's largest collaborative development project works. We've also learned a lot of details about what makes these amazing people tick and what advice they have for people who want to get involved.

This week we talk to Frédéric Weisbecker in our 30 Linux Kernel Developers in 30 Weeks series. From the northeast regionof France, he tells us how we got started with Linux and gives some pretty specific and useful advice for people who want to do the same. He also shares his favorite April Fool's Day fun with the Linux kernel community.
