- Importantly you can ask questions about your project idea and application, and get feedback from the community
- When introducing yourself it is useful if you are able to provide information about: your familiarity with Fortran and other programming languages; your background and any particular expertise (physics, engineering, etc.); any particular algorithmic interests or experience you have; any other relevant information (e.g. geographic location, native language)
-
Have a look at the Fortran-Lang and affiliated projects and familiarise yourself with their contributor guides
-
Review the project ideas page and look for any projects that interest you
-
Create a github account and submit at least one patch to a Fortran-Lang project alongside your application. See patch requirement for more details.

Submit at least one pull request into any of the following repositories:
- https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm
- https://github.com/fortran-lang/stdlib
- https://gitlab.com/lfortran/lfortran
To do so, create an account at GitHub/GitLab, fork the repository, clone using git onto your local computer, add your modification to the code, commit, push into your fork and create a pull request. We will review it, please respond to reviews. The pull request must be merged. List all your pull requests (merged and open) in your application. If you have contributed to any of the projects before, please list that as well.
If you need help with git and/or setting any of these projects up, please ask us at the Fortran Discourse. We will be happy to help.
