Dear all,
It’s again time to organise our next monthly call which will be in the week of October 18-22; please see the following doodle poll to mark your availability:

If there is time, I’d like to show a little update on LFortran:
- show how to use it with fpm
- some performance comparisons
- compile some examples from Fortran Discourse
- C preprocessor, accurate location information
- Rust style error messages ([!1490](https://gitlab.com/lfortran/lfortran/-/merge_requests/1490))
- the `--symtab-only` mode
And I’d like to propose a discussion on:
- Interaction of fpm and compilers ([Preprocessor support · Issue #78 · fortran-lang/fpm · GitHub](https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm/issues/78#issuecomment-946037433))
- Fortran Language Server for VSCode (and other editors that use the same protocol) — is there one already, how to do it and what is needed from the compiler to get it working? Let’s make a plan.
