Monthly Newsletter
Knowledge base for the preparation of the monthly newsletter.
To keep the monthly newsletter on track and on time, we elect a member of the community responsible for publishing the newsletter. Responsibilities are to timely initiate the draft for the newsletter and invite contributors as well as merge the final newsletter on time. Please enter your name in the table below if you'd like to champion a newsletter in a month that is available. The month in each row refers to the month of publication, so the responsibility falls in the second half of the previous month. For example, signing up for August would require you to push the newsletter draft during the last week of July.

This section collects updates from the repositories in the @fortran-lang namespace, which includes the activity at stdlib, fpm and fortran-lang.org. Listed are open pull request and pull requests merged in the month, as well as notable events around the project, like releases, associated repositories (like setup-fpm for fpm or stdlib-cmake-example) or new projects (like the discussion board for fpm).
The monthly newsletter contains a link to the recording of the monthly call. The recordings are uploaded to the Fortran-lang YouTube channel. Check the recording of the last month and select the embed option under share to get the link. The HTML to include the link with preview usually looks like:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/06hVFA8ApG4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>The compiler sections are usually written in collaboration with the developers of the respective compilers.
- LFortran updates are provided by Ondřej Čertík (@certik)
- Classic Flang/LLVM Flang updates are provided by Alexis Perry-Holby (@AlexisPerry)
When opening a newsletter draft PR, please mark @certik and @AlexisPerry as reviewers to let them know that the PR is waiting for their contributions.
The contributor stats shown at the bottom of our Fortran-lang Community page are currently updated manually at the end of each month.
The data are collected from Github using the download_issues.py script from https://gitlab.com/certik/github_stats.
The script is run for each of the main Fortran-lang repositories as well as the j3/fortran_proposals repository - you must edit script to specify the desired repository.
The script outputs a data.json file on completion which must be copied to the community/github_stats_data folder and renamed according to the repository.
