Presenting stdlib at FortranCon 2021

[awvwgk]

For FortranCon 2021 we want to present the core projects of the Fortran-lang community again. Here I want to organize the presentation(s) for the stdlib project. But first, we are looking for a volunteer who wants to lead the presentation of stdlib and give the talk at FortranCon.

Also, for our two GSoC students (@aman-godara and @ChetanKarwa) working on stdlib, we are planning to organize separate talks as well.

I suggest @ivan-pi, @nshaffer, @hsnyder, or @jvdp1 as significant contributors who are more or less early career. Though @jvdp1 did a great job last year, I think it'd be nice to rotate speakers so that we give more exposure to as many people as possible.

[hsnyder]

Thanks for tagging me. I'm happy to help put together the presentation in whatever way I can, but I still feel fairly new to stdlib - Ivan is probably a better choice than myself to take the lead.

[jvdp1]

I agree with @milancurcic: it would be good to rotate speakers.Anyway, I will not be able to join FortranCon 2021 (or only partially), due to other meetings already scheduled on these days.

The list of contributors mentioned by @ivan-pi is appropriate. Should we agree now on a speaker? We can also discuss it during the next Fortran month call.

I am in the same boat as @hsnyder. Very happy to help with what I can, and perhaps after a few more substantial contributions and another year I'd be happy to speak if needed.

[nshaffer]

I think I could do this. I haven't been able to contribute much to stdlib this year, but that doesn't seem like a show-stopper. If anything, it'll help to keep the focus at a high level. Plus, it's nice to talk about other people's accomplishments. And if my volunteering increases the chances that @ivan-pi will tell us about ODE solvers, all the better.

[ivan-pi]

In this case @nshaffer please go ahead.

The next step will be to add a new folder "FortranCon2021-stdlib" in https://github.com/fortran-lang/talks, and decide to go for latex/beamer, Reveal.js, or something else. The deadline for abstracts is August 1.

I will be happy to contribute to the presentation with some usage examples of bitsets if space/timeslot permit.

OK, I will take the lead on this. By early next week, I will have a new directory in the talks repo and a first draft of an abstract. I'll allow a week to collect feedback and get the author list straightened out. That should give plenty of time to make revisions (and accept late feedback 😉 ) before the submission deadline.

[nshaffer]

Hi all, I have put up a first draft and tentative author list as a PR in the talks repo fortran-lang/talks#10

Let's continue the conversation there!
