Some quick (incomplete) notes:

  1. Maintainers Fortran-lang projects
  • Time is usually an issue
  • Coordinators/maintainers could be mentioned
  • Many people interested in reviewing but don’t know how
  • Provide some guidance
  • Classifying PR (e.g., “physics”, “generic programming”,…) might help reviewers to find their interests ==> use more tags on PR
  • Possible issue: * PR are very/too specialised; * large PRs; * Lack of energy/time to review; * high interest to submit PRs.
  • Perhaps better to follow the proposed workflow
  • Discussion can continue in here and here
  1. FortranCon 2021
  • Slot: Sept. 24, 1h45
  • 3 talks: fpm, stdlib, lfortran (12 +3 minutes talk each) + talks for all students (5 minutes talk?)
  • fpm speaker: @awvwgk
  • stdlib speaker: @nshaffer
  • lfortran speaker: @certik
  • One topic at a time (main talk followed by students)
  • Abstracts on Fortran-lang repo (to be submitted before August 1)
  • @awvwgk propose to collect the abstracts
  • Mentors should probably take the lead for the students ’ projects
  1. Fortran Fypp?
  • Do we have enough people to do that?

Sorry I couldn’t make the call. Regarding fypp, I think a subset that we actually use in stdlib is doable and we can attempt it later as part of LFortran. It would not be in Fortran (it would be in C++), but it could be rewritten in later to Fortran also.
