+The DPDK development process is modeled (loosely) on the Linux Kernel development model so it is worth reading the
Linux kernel guide on submitting patches:
`How to Get Your Change Into the Linux Kernel <https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html>`_.
The rationale for many of the DPDK guidelines is explained in greater detail in the kernel guidelines.
Contributors will need to `register for the mailing list <http://mails.dpdk.org/listinfo/dev>`_ in order to submit patches.
It is also worth registering for the DPDK `Patchwork <http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/>`_
+If you are using the GitHub service, you can link your repository to
+the ``travis-ci.org`` build service. When you push patches to your GitHub
+repository, the travis service will automatically build your changes.

The development process requires some familiarity with the ``git`` version control system.
Refer to the `Pro Git Book <http://www.git-scm.com/book/>`_ for further information.
