As I read through the material, I realized that the easier way to do this was by " Learning by doing" method and decided to get my feet wet. Can you please advice me a good place to start, I know lot of people have said Kernelnewbies.org but is there really a place to start by working on small parts of code,cleaning up code or best place to even start looking through the kernel code. Any advice here will be helpful. 

Find some topic that is of interest, and you have resources for and
try something. There is no up to date TODO list, but get on netdev
mailing list and see what common topics are.
