**Francesc Campoy:** Yes, I was there, but I had to leave, so I missed Burcu's [Jaana Burcu Dogan] [talk](https://youtu.be/xteEImopTic?t=2469). I know it was recorded, so I'm looking forward to watching it, too. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, that's exactly what I was gonna mention. She is gonna put out a proposal to have an abstraction of a lot of the interface that will be required for Go to work with the hardware, including robotics and Gobots. Whenever that comes out, people should try to contribute. To make that happen, we ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** And Ron Evans from the Hybrid Group, who does our Gobot room every year for Hack Day, he loves kids. I don't think there's anything he loves more than teaching kids about robotics and programming. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, we had a call with him a couple months before GopherCon, and it's probably important that everybody knows that he donates all of his time and he gets sponsors for all of that equipment. He does this because he loves it. He told us in an off-hand sort of way that the whole programming thing is ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Did you get to hack on any robots, anybody? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I actually had to leave early, which was a huge mistake. That was actually a totally different day, it was totally relaxed, everybody had done their talks, everybody had watched their talks, and I felt such a relaxed atmosphere. The next year I'm not gonna make this mistake again, because I did t... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[43:48\] Yeah, so Hack Day was really like a happy accident. The first year we were talking about everybody was probably gonna be flying home, flying for different states, different countries, so they would fly out at random parts of the day... Like, let's just reserve this space for longer - we g... |
I think we had - Brian, Dave Cheney and I had a discussion about it, and I think the Hack Day thing is misleading. The name was kind of borrowed from elsewhere and it doesn't have the same meaning for us, so I think next year we're gonna name it Community Day, to focus more on what the day is about, just kind of hangin... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's hard, because we want it to be not organized, but you have to provide at least the shell of organization so people have an idea of how they can use that time and why it would be worthwhile for them to do it. Then there's the concept of how do people find each other. We put out little tablets at... |
I saw a lot of really remote teams that were doing team meetings, face-to-face meetings for the first time all year, in teams that had worked together. That was kind of fun, to see companies having face-to-face meetings at GopherCon on Hack Day. That was cool. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Francesc, were you about to say something? |
**Francesc Campoy:** Yeah, I was gonna say, something that I really appreciated from the Gobot Room was there were actually a bunch of people just playing around with drones, flying around. It looked really fun, and it made me think about, you know, there's conferences that I've been to, like Devoxx, that have these si... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, so that was actually something that we tried to do. I think we were too late in the planning of it, because it started to turn into... We were planning a second conference, and it was like "Now we gotta market this, we have to find sponsors for this..." But I think it's something we definitel... |
**Francesc Campoy:** Yeah, that would be pretty amazing. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** So now's a good time for us to talk about our other sponsor of the show, Equinox. Equinox does packaging and distribution and updating for Go applications. They have amazing command line tooling that allows you to package up your Go application and it cross-compiles it for all of the different envir... |
\[48:09\] So they've got hosted downloads and a download page, and it's kind of the neatest thing that I've used in terms of the distribution of an app. You can use their library, their Go package to create your command line tools to autoupdate it. You can make a flag, say "Update" and it will go off to the Equinox ser... |
Equinox is free for community and personal projects, and they have very affordable plans for businesses. You should go to equinox.io/gotime to learn more about it. I strongly endorse it. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And Alan Shreve, ngrok. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** And everything Alan does, exactly. I use ngrok almost every day, and they don't even sponsor the show. \[laughter\] We love ngrok. |
**Francesc Campoy:** Is Equinox also funded by Alan Shreve? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yes. |
**Francesc Campoy:** I didn't know that. He's cool. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, we all love Alan. He was walking around GopherCon, too. It was awesome that we got to see him again. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yes, he was one of our first speakers at GopherCon 2014. Awesome stuff. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I think Adam pointed out that he was featured in our recap video, which was awesome. Did you get to see the recap video that we played on day two? |
**Francesc Campoy:** Yeah, I got to see it, that was really cool. |
**Erik St. Martin:** The Changelog guys, they turned that thing around in a hotel room overnight. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, talk about some rapid production... It's funny, because I saw Peter Hellberg walking into the auditorium before the show, and I said "Hey Peter, you need to get your cell phone out and record the show when it starts." He's like, "Why?" I said, "Just trust me, Peter." \[laughter\] So he got to ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I'm glad I wasn't in there. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Why is that, Erik? Let's talk about that. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Let's not talk about that. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I have to get recorded and go on the big video thing, why is Erik St. Martin not on the big video thing? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Because - and I almost refer to myself in the third person there... Because I don't know, I don't really like cameras. \[laughter\] I was gonna say "Because Erik doesn't like cameras." |
**Francesc Campoy:** You should try to get your brother on the video. Nobody will know. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, he probably would have done it, too. He probably could have got up there and just spoke for me. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, we talked about that. |
**Erik St. Martin:** My stand-in. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** You're gonna be at the Kubernetes conference, right Erik? |
**Erik St. Martin:** I'm gonna submit a proposal. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Excellent. Then you have to get on camera. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, that's true. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Maybe he didn't know that, Brian. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Right, now you're ruining it. You're supposed to tell me after I submit the proposal. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** They told me that it was not gonna be recorded or streamed, so you're fine, Erik. It will be okay. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Then I end up in Francesc's place, where it's like "Wait... What? They accepted it?" \[laughter\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Now what? |
**Francesc Campoy:** Yeah. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So I think we're almost out of time. Do we wanna move on to any projects that we found in the community or any other news? I know most of us have been hiding away at GopherCon for the past week, so... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[51:43\] I do have one good GopherCon story that I have to share before we move on. Ivan Daniluk from the Visualizing Concurrency talk - the day GopherCon ended, we ended up in an elevator at the same time, and he came me kind of a stern look and he said, "We're going to have the next GopherCon in ... |
