I want to add an _fpm_ specific item to the agenda, which requires some discussion and feedback: - Usage of environment variables in _fpm_: [Use environment variables for Fortran compiler and arguments by awvwgk · Pull Request #549 · fortran-lang/fpm · GitHub](https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm/pull/549) ---

> [@jeremie.vandenplas](#): > > Would it be good to also introduce `test-drive`? Sounds like a good idea, we can discuss it together with [Add testing module to allow better structuring of test suites by awvwgk · Pull Request #494 · fortran-lang/stdlib · GitHub](https://github.com/fortran-lang/stdlib/pull/494) as practical example. ---

Our next monthly call will be on **Wednesday, September 22 at 14:00 UTC**. 7:00 - 8:00 PDT (California) 15:00 - 16:00 BST (London) 16:00 - 17:00 CEST (Central Europe) As previously, the meeting will be recorded for those who cannot attend. **Please continue to use this thread for topics you would like discussed at the meeting.** A Zoom invitation will follow soon.

Also, the two recent posts in #meta are probably worth discussing at the monthly call: - [Request for feedback: Fortran Discourse Administration, Moderation, and Editing Guide](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/1810) - [Request for feedback: Governance for Fortran-lang](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/1832) ---
