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.
