The local organizer is Petri Mahonen (Petri.Mahonen@oulu.fi). Details of the objectives of the meeting, together with accommodation and travel arrangements, appear below. 1. OBJECTIVES OF THE MEETING There are three major items of business for this meeting: A. Processing of interpretations of the Fortran 95 standard. There are about 85 outstanding requests for interpretations in the J3 standing document 006 (alias N1383). Each needs to pass these stages: 1. J3 meeting vote. 2. J3 letter ballot. 3. WG vote. 4. If edits are involved, incorporation in a corrigendum. At the moment, 13 have passed stage 1 but none are further on. WG5 will construct a draft corrigendum based on all items with edits that have passed stage 3. It will also provide assistance to J3 in processing the other items by constructing draft responses for consideration at the next J3 meeting. B. Review of the content of Fortran 2000 WG5 will review its plans for the content of Fortran 2000 (N1382) and prepare a summary of the changes from Fortran 95. The list of possible minor technical enhancements will be divided into three lists: 1. Items to be included 2. Items to be excluded 3. Items at the discretion of J3 If any item in the list of required contents still needs technical work, WG5 will provide assistance to J3 in this task. C. Review of the Fortran 2000 working draft WG5 will review the current Fortran 2000 working draft and provide suggestions for changes for consideration at the next J3 meeting. 2. MEETING LOCATION The meeting will be hosted by VTT (Technical Research Center of Finland), located on the campus area of the University of Oulu. The address of the institute is Kaitovayla 1. There are buses operating between the town center and Linnanmaa. There is VTT specific information about travel on the web-page http://www.vtt.fi/ele/contacts/how_to_get.htm The city of Oulu has web-pages on http://www.ouka.fi/ 3. ACCOMMODATION A block reservation of rooms has been made in SAS Radisson Hotel. The price range is as follows: 1 room/night 460 FIM/night (about 80 USD) double room/night 760 FIM/night (~ 130 USD) The meeting itself will be held in a lecture room at VTT, which is about 5 km from the city center. The plan is to have meetings between 9.00 a.m. -- 17.45 p.m. We have one main lecture room and two smaller meeting rooms for possible ad hoc meetings. The research institute is sponsoring coffee breaks for us during the WG5 meeting. The Finns are rather early lunch eaters. There is a cafeteria operating in the institute's premises (open for lunch between 11-13), and there are more possibilities in the city center. I suggest that we aim at to have lunch break around 12 o'clock. VTT will also sponsor one complementary lunch for us during the meeting. Finally, we plan to have a traditional get-together dinner on Wednesday in the city center. The particulars of this will be provided during the meeting. Photocopying and basic secretarial services will be available during the meeting by courtesy of the research institute. We will also arrange a public terminal that will be available for e-mailing. To ensure that you are getting discounted hotel prices and to get the final list of participants for the local organizers, we have appointed a local organizing secretary from VTT to handle practicalities. So if you want to reserve your room, require any additional information etc., you should contact as soon as possible: Ms. Katja Salmela VTT, Networking Technologies (WG5/FORTRAN MEETING) Fax: +358 8 551 2320 Email: Katja.Salmela@vtt.fi Tel.: +358 8 551 2402 4. TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS: The city of Oulu web-page includes information on travel, the city and the location itself. However, most delegates should plan to flight to Helsinki and catch a flight to Oulu (there are about 9-12 flights per day to Oulu). Another possibility is to fly to Stockholm and fly by SAS from Stockholm to Oulu. At least for people arriving from UK and USA the route through Stockholm is probably cheapest. 5. LOCAL INFORMATION If anyone wants to come a few days earlier or stay in Northern Finland for extra days after the meeting, you can ask help and/or suggestions on sightseeing possibilities, etc. Katja will help as much as possible. If we know beforehand what you need, we can probably arrange for relevant brochures etc. to be ready during the WG5 meeting. The weather during early August should be rather warm (around +20 C), but there is a possibility for colder nights and rain. Oulu is a rather small town (around 110,000 inhabitants), but most services that you might expect are available. It is also well to remember that Finland is a rather expensive country. Most shops are open between 9-17 during the summer time. 6. REGISTRATION Heads of delegations are reminded that the names of those who will be in their delegations should be communicated to both the Convenor and the host (via the local contact, Patrice Lignalet see above) no later than one month before the start of the meeting. 7. FURTHER INFORMATION If you have any questions, or need any kind of help in practical arrangements do not hesitate to email the local organizer Petri Mahonen (Petri.Mahonen@oulu.fi) or Ms. Salmonella (Katja.Salmela@vtt.fi).
