Hi all,
I found this message in my spam folder tonight.
Please look. I also sent a note to Damian on this.
Maybe we can get someone to push forward on te native coarrays work?
I think the native coarrays are a good field. General bug fixing would
also be a good idea.
[quoting for the mail]
I would like to discuss with the GFortran developer community whether
there is interest to setup a joint project to pay somebody to work on
GFortran full time. We have funding available for 18 months with 600k
EUR starting mid of June (please do not share this numbers publicly
yet), but we can also ask the fund for more money if needed. What do you
think? Is it worth to bring this up on the GFortran mailing list or
mattermost server?
It is really good so finally see a source of gfortran funding.
For hiring somebody full-time for a year, I am not sure who would be
available full-time, I think most people who have experience working
on gfortran have other commitments. We would have to see if somebody
has the free time.
What would be great would be a possibility for people to work on
an hourly basis on certain, well-defined projects. This is probably
something that contributors could fit in much better, and would provide
an additional incentive to take up gfortran work again :-)
Do you know if this is, in fact, a possibility?
Best regards
Thomas
