After a long hiatus, let’s restart the fortran-lang community call.
This session will focus on the status of the ecosystem: fpm, stdlib, lfortran, etc. Feel free to propose additional discussion priorities, upcoming releases, etc.
The final date will be announced here on or before the evening of Sunday, September 6. The call will be held on MS Teams (link posted here once the date is set) and recorded as usual. Propose agenda items below!
Good question - That’s exactly the kind of thing the call is for: figuring out where each piece of the ecosystem stands and who’s driving it.
Adding it to the agenda - I’ve never been involved in the registry development myself, but it would be great if someone who worked on it, or wants to pick it up, could give a short status update during the call. Or post one here in the thread, and I’ll share it during the call.
Hello all, a few quick items to discuss during today’s call (link above, 17:00 CEST / 8:00 AM PDT). Bring anything else you’d like to raise to the open floor.
fpm update (Federico): v0.13 features & profiles - conditional compilation, per-compiler/OS flags, optional dependencies. (@hkvzjal, others) discussion on the registry status/implementation. What’s next? LFortran support status; PR backlog.
Ecosystem update: maintainer effort, funding status, opportunity for contracts and grants.
Free AI/compute credits for open source: several providers run OSS credit programs - worth applying for fortran-lang projects?
AI policy for fortran-lang projects: do we accept AI-assisted PRs, and with what disclosure? How do we handle low-quality AI-generated PRs/issues? AI in docs and review triage. Proposal: a short written policy for the org.
Open floor and next steps: owners, dates, next call.
. I have marked a few dates as possible.
