Check kernel newbies website, http://kernelnewbies.org/.

If you're completely new, I guess starting with the Linux Device
Drivers book (v3) and writing some drivers here and there will be a
great entrance to kernel development and its interfaces in general.

Testing linux-next git tree, following LKML and checking out LWN.net
kernel pages regularly will give you great insights about what's going
on. Once you're there, you can have a big list of projects and ideas
to work on.

Past experiences in low-level C development, Unix administrations and
overall Linux distributions internals (empirical Linux-fu) will be a
great help (Personally, I consider them a bit of a pre-requisite but
not all of the devs believe so).

Regards
