Knowledge base for the preparation of the monthly newsletter.

Champion of the month

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.

Repository activities

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).

Monthly call

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:

Compiler section

The compiler sections are usually written in collaboration with the developers of the respective compilers.

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.
