+How and why to work with the Linux kernel community
+Practical Rules
+
+3. Merge your code upstream
+Initially you basically have to create a fork
+Development of upsteram project continues sometimes at high speed
+If you keep it out of tree for too long time, conflicts arise
+Submissions might get rejected in the first round
+Cleanups needed, in coordination with upstream project
+Code will eventually get merged
+No further maintainance needed for synchronization between your contribution and the ongoing upstream development
+Don't be surprised if your code won't be accepted if you didn't discuss it with maintainers upfront and they don't like your implementation
+
