+  \begin{itemize}
+  \item Probability distributions: Uniform, normal, exponential, gamma, and beta (Fisher)
+  \item Generic linked list (Karwa)
+  \item Generic map type (Ehlert)
+  \item Hash functions (Clodius, Ehlert)
+  \item Improved OS and file system facilities (Diehl, Markus)
+  \item Selection algorithms
+  \item All new intrinsics planned for Fortran 202X
+  \item Improved stdlib test suite (Ehlert)
+  \end{itemize}
+
+  \note{Here are some additions and improvements to look forward to in the next year or so.
+        The highlights are: procedures for various probability distributions and sampling
+        pseudo-random numbers from them; derived types for generic collections
+        (linked lists, see Chetan's talk today, and a map/dictionary type);
+        and cross-platform procedures for querying the operating system and manipulating
+        the file system (such as listing and traversing directories, removing or copying files, etc.).
+        This roadmap is driven by community and their contributions and is largely based on
+        the backlog of existing PRs to be reviewed and improved upon.
+        If there's something you'd like to be a part of stdlib, please let us know by opening
+        a proposal in GitHub issues, and we'll discuss it and come up with an implementation plan.
