Fortran Monthly Call - September 2026

Fortran-lang's September 2026 monthly call agenda includes a proposal to draft a written AI policy for the org, covering whether AI-assisted pull requests are accepted, what disclosure is required, and how to handle low-quality AI-generated PRs and issues. The call, held at 17:00 CEST / 8:00 AM PDT, also covers fpm v0.13 features and profiles — conditional compilation, per-compiler/OS flags, and optional dependencies — plus registry status, LFortran support, the PR backlog, maintainer effort and funding, and whether to apply for free AI/compute credits offered to open source projects.
