**Cory LaNou:** Yes, we do. Meetup Organizers, I think.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, so that's where everybody that Cory's just mentioned is, including Cory.
**Erik St. Martin:** We have to applaud anybody who helps grow the community, whether that's through code or writing tutorials and blog posts, or doing conferences, or anything that continues to further the growth of the community. As JBD has been talking about today, kind of collectively molding the language together....
We typically close out the show with our \#FreeSoftwareFriday where we give shout outs to open source projects for people that are kind of saving the day for us. I think Cory and I both have actually already spilled the beans on ours. Who I was going to thank is the Kubernetes special interest groups; to the point that...
And Cory, you just said yours.
**Cory LaNou:** Yes, I did.
**Erik St. Martin:** Do you wanna say it again?
**Cory LaNou:** Yeah, just a shout out, like you say, to all the organizers of local Meetups. It's just such a big deal, and especially in my mind right now are the organizers of Chicago, which is Varun, and Minneapolis, which is Eric, Jack, Nick and Calvin. They have just done a superb job of taking communities that.....
**Erik St. Martin:** How about you, Carlisia?
**Carlisia Thompson:** I want to give a shout out to the most wondrous thing, it's the Gopher Slack bot. Florin Patan works on that, and it's... I don't even know how to describe it. You type "@gopher help" and you get a listing of all the commands you can use, and it's sweet, it will give you a bunch of goodies. So ju...
**Erik St. Martin:** I'm typing it in now. @Gopher help.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, it's a user, but it's a bot.
**Erik St. Martin:** Okay, here we go. It's messaging me.
**Jaana Dogan:** Do I need to direct message it, or...?
**Erik St. Martin:** \[01:08:01.03\] You just add it in the channel, and it direct messages that.
**Carlisia Thompson:** But JBD has made a good point - you can totally do a direct message, and just type things out there, so you won't be spamming the channel.
**Cory LaNou:** I think we just crashed it. \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** It is open source, and pull requests are accepted. This is kind of cool, though... Like, just type in newbie resources and recommended channels... That kind of makes it more accessible. The Gopher Slack has grown so much, there are so many different channels in there, and you're trying to find your...
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, it's super cool. And of course - I don't know if we did it, but it crashed.
**Erik St. Martin:** Speaking of crashes, I didn't get a chance to mention this. Way earlier in the show before our first sponsor break, I actually crashed, I was gone for a while - I don't think anybody noticed, but the funny part about it was it was after JBD said "I'm supposed to be a power user", and the second she...
**Jaana Dogan:** Well, that's part of my job, to expose all those screens, so no one else needs to go through the same thing.
**Erik St. Martin:** I died laughing... Like, "Man, I hope this come up quick..." But I have never, in the whole time of owning a Mac, ever had a stack trace on a screen, and you say "power user" and Boom! \[laughter\] Priceless.
So you don't have to throw anything in there, but if you have something, we'd love to hear a project you might wanna give a shout out to, too.
**Jaana Dogan:** Well, I don't know. I don't wanna highlight anything at this point. I have a couple of things to mention, but I don't really think that it's necessary.
**Carlisia Thompson:** No problem.
**Erik St. Martin:** What did you wanna mention?
**Jaana Dogan:** It was just a couple of random ideas... There are some co-op implementations I came across. It's just really nice to see some of the new generation network protocols are implemented for Go, and I'm just playing with a couple of things, building my co-op networks. This protocol is basically useful in Io...
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, and I think we definitely need to link out to some of your repositories too, because you've got a lot of repositories for hardware interoperability with Go, too.
**Jaana Dogan:** Yeah, I think most of my repositories are private at this point...
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, you're holding out on us.
**Jaana Dogan:** I have so much stuff in private... I was playing with tons of devices lately to figure out the right APIs for these peripheral IO protocols that I was mentioning for a while. Maybe I can release a couple of them and share them as well, while we are talking about IoT.
**Erik St. Martin:** Okay. If you do that, we'll make sure we link any of them in the show notes when the show actually gets released.
**Jaana Dogan:** Alright.
**Erik St. Martin:** I lost my time, because I got rebooted due to your awesomeness...
**Jaana Dogan:** \[01:11:41.04\] Well, this was a formal meeting for the meta work groups, so... I just wanna conclude by saying that I think people really think, and there's no intention to isolate from the actual problems the community is experiencing, or anything. But trying to find the right channel will take some ...
**Erik St. Martin:** Growth is always painful, and I think we'll get through this as it's just one hurdle in the evolution of the language.
**Jaana Dogan:** Yeah, yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** So with that... Somebody gave me the time in Slack, we're at like an hour and thirty-three minutes, so we get to have an especially long episode this time, which is awesome. There's so much more I wanna talk about, too... I really wanted to get into music and hardware, but I don't think we wanna ha...
**Jaana Dogan:** We can do just random live streaming; it doesn't have to be particularly GoTime, or anything. It might be interesting to just brainstorm. What I would like to issue with workgroups is something where you show up and talk to people on random things; not music, not my personal music, but anything related...
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, and I think that's one thing people miss when working remotely too, that kind of interaction and triggering ideas with each other. It humanizes people; when you're talking to somebody you realize the way that they come off in a draft proposal or a GitHub pull request review, or something like...
**Jaana Dogan:** Yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** So I think with that we should close out the show.
**Jaana Dogan:** It was really nice to be here.
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, definitely thank you for coming on, this has been a lot of fun. I think we should figure out something for having some sort of live streaming or playing with electronics over YouTube, I think that'd be kind of fun.
**Jaana Dogan:** It might be interesting to just record a little bit for the Go Time, just my vocal capabilities...
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh my god, that's so...
**Jaana Dogan:** I know... I'm not promising anything, but maybe. It's a challenge for me; my personal challenge is to record something for you.
**Erik St. Martin:** I challenge you right now. We have some closing notes that I'll make my way through, but I wanna hear a crazy goodbye... \[laughter\] I don't know when we cut in for what's gonna be produced, but for anybody who's listening to this that wasn't live for that, it was absolutely awesome and hilarious ...
Alright, so thank you everybody on the panel for being here. Thank you to Cory for stepping in for Brian while he's out...
**Cory LaNou:** Thanks for having me. It was an honor to be here.
