Fortran people in Australia/New Zealand

Hi everyone,

Very short, just looking for Fortran programmers and users of the language that are in the Australia/New Zealand region. Please reach out :slight_smile:

Cheers

Yes

I am an antipodal programmer and user, almost exactly. :blush:

Hello. I am in Aus.

I’m in Oz.

Maybe not subscriber to the forum, yet I remember Daniel Price / School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University for a Fortran 101 on youtube (his public GitHub repository).

I’m part of the planning committee for a BoF session that we’re planning on submitting for the research conference later this year in Melbourne. I was curious if any Fortran practitioners would like to be part of it as invited speakers? It’s in Melbourne so that’s why I asked if you’re here since coming down might be a bit difficult or other people!

I’m an NZ Fortran user who retired over 20 years ago. These days I report bugs in Fortran compilers. (Over 100 in Lfortran so far, but recently a few in gfortran and AMD flang.)

Yes. Melbourne based.

Yes, based in Sydney; Structural engineering and using OpenMP

Yep, based in Melbourne, tsunami hazard science

Yes! New Zealand based

Thank you for asking. I am based in Melbourne and I have a long-standing interest in Fortran, scientific computing, meteorological applications, numerical methods, and legacy software. I would be interested in hearing more about the proposed BoF session, including the conference, expected date, format, audience, and what kind of contribution you are looking for from invited speakers.
I would be happy to be considered, especially if the session includes Fortran in research computing, legacy code modernisation, numerical/scientific applications, or Australian Fortran practice.

I may have to restrict my attendance at conference to remote using zoom or Microsoft teams.
