Hi Bryan!

Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to GCC!

So did another aspirant, Wil, who within very short notice threw together
a GSoC project application for that very task.  ;-P

I'm putting Wil in CC -- open discussion, and all that.

Yes, that's certainly suitable background and motivation to start
contributing to GCC!

We do the GSoC project ranking for GCC, but in the end it's Google who
decide how many GSoC slots we get, etc.  So, at this point, we don't know
yet whether Wil's "Fortran DO CONCURRENT" gets accepted as a GSoC project
this year, or whether it possibly might not work out for other reasons.
Assuming that Wil's GSoC project does come to fruition, we'd have to look
for a different task for you: the GSoC rules assume that participants
individually work on their own project.  Thus, either have to wait a bit
longer, or find a different project that you're interested in?
