You will see that there are several ways to become involved and that everything we do is open, not only software but also our documents and our discussions (on IRC and on our mailing lists).
To see a developer demostration click here or get information about running Linaro under QEMU in under 5 minutes
There are two ways to get a Linaro build on your hardware. The fastest way is to grab a milestone image and "dd" it to your SD card.
If you'd like a little more customization of things like filesystem type, then you can follow the instructions on the boards page of the wiki. They explain how to pick a hardware pack, root filesystem, and then install them using Linaro Image Tools.
The developer wiki includes an up-to-date list of what hardware is support by our current builds:
We also maintain a list of low cost development boards with links to retailers.
You can still experiment with Linaro builds even if you don't have physical hardware. We have a quick guide to using Qemu with Linaro builds. We also have a video showing how to get up and running in under 5 minutes.
If you are interested in building software using the Linaro toolchain, you can follow the toolchain guide. This page includes information on installing both cross and native toolchains.
If you are interested in doing some kernel hacking you should take a look at a few links:
