**Ashley McNamara:** Okay! So exciting! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[40:08\] Yeah, it looks very cool, and has very few dependencies underneath, which I think is probably the best part. When I was reading -- I actually did a couple of their examples and ran code and it worked really beautifully, and it has very, very few dependencies. The only thing on Linux is an ... |
**Ashley McNamara:** This is happy! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It is happy. And speaking of -- we should probably kind of circle back and talk about these PocketCHIPs. The PocketCHIP is this amazing, cool little computer thing. It's smaller than a Raspberry Pi, but it's got a little maybe four(ish) inch TFT screen and a keyboard on it, and it's ARM7 chip maybe.... |
**Ashley McNamara:** It's so cute... And you can 3D-print cases for it. Did you see that, Brian? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I've got one printing right now... A screen cover with the keycaps and key covers. |
**Ashley McNamara:** I went into my garage and I did not see a tarantula, so I might take my 3D printer out of my garage. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** You braved to the spider just to get to the 3D printer? |
**Ashley McNamara:** I did. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** You are awesome. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Are you impressed? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Well, she didn't see the spider... Don't overestimate... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean he's not crawling on your back right now. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Why would you do that to me? Why would you say those things to me? Monster. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** So to give people context, we're talking about the PocketCHIP because that was what was gifted to the GopherCon speakers. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yes. It's a $60 or $70 computer; so amazing, so much fun. If you like at all playing with small devices, especially something that is Linux, but very, very portable and has a cute little screen and keyboard, then I can't recommend the PocketCHIP enough. It's tons of fun. I really haven't stopped pla... |
So back to news - there's a great new book out by Katherine Cox-Buday, one of our speakers from maybe GopherCon 2015, called [Concurrency in Go](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920046189.do). That's an O'Reilly book that was just released to print, so I think it's available in electronic form, but not quite yet in ... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** In two weeks. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, very exciting. I had the privilege of reading through an earlier version of it and it's very well done. Concurrency in Go is a tough topic to hit, and she did a great job on it. I'm excited that there's another good resource for concurrency out there, and a whole book dedicated to it. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, exactly. I'm really excited to see a whole book about concurrency. I pre-ordered it, and I'm waiting for my hard copy, because it's important enough that I wanna hold it in my hands. |
On the topic of schedulers, I wanted to make sure we mention [Cindy Sridharan's](https://twitter.com/copyconstruct) amazing [blog post](https://medium.com/@copyconstruct/schedulers-kubernetes-and-nomad-b0f2e14a896) about cluster schedulers. It's really well-written. She got a lot of praise online for the post, so if yo... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, that was a very good post, I agree. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Now I know what you're talking about. Good, we should put the link to that up on the show notes, too. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[44:03\] Yeah, I just dropped it. I'm not sure if I'm using the right document, but... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, perfect. Yes, Cindy is really active in the San Francisco Go community. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yes. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Alright, so we like to end our show with \#FreeSoftwareFriday, which is a shoutout to any open source group or maintainer or project that you love, that you enjoy, that you can't live without. It's something that we like to do because we use a lot of open source and we really appreciate all the hard... |
I will start off by shouting out to [Dave Cheney](https://twitter.com/davecheney), because we just don't give Dave enough credit for all of the amazing work he does for our community. If you have a question about Go, there's a [blog post](https://dave.cheney.net/) that Dave wrote the covers it. If you have a problem th... |
**Ashley McNamara:** Plus one! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I'm moving out of Go if we don't get Errors in the standard library. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Plus one to all of that. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Dave also puts in an unbelievable, immeasurable amount of work into helping us prepare the speakers for GopherCon each year. Not only does he head the selection committee, but he spends countless hours with each speaker, helping them prepare and getting them up to the A+ level that we expect from ou... |
Anybody else have a person or a project or a thing that they wanna shout out for \#FreeSoftwareFriday? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I wanna give a shoutout to `godoc`. It's such a neat tool that we have, and for people who are new and don't know, you can run `godoc` on your machine if you're flying, and you get on your browser the documentation for all packages that you have residing in your system. |
Yesterday I found out that you can write documentation for each of your packages in a separate file called `doc.go`. If you have a lot of documentation to write, you can put it all in there. So instead of ending up with separate files with tons of documentation in those files. It's really neat, I didn't know that. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Very nice. |
**Ashley McNamara:** I wanna shoutout Brian and Erik. You had to have known that this was coming. GopherCon was amazing. Every detail was on point, the sessions were awesome... That contributor day - oh, my god! Why is the Go team not doing those like once a week? It was so good! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That was great. The contributor thing was amazing. I don't know if they had a final count, but I think more than 100 people got onboarded to contribute to Go, and I don't know how many contributions there were, but it was a lot, and so many people were excited about that. |
**David Chase:** We found bugs. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Oh... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's fabulous. |
**David Chase:** I mean, you know... You get new people using Go, and they do stuff that you hadn't realized that someone would try, and you get bugs. |
**Ashley McNamara:** It's very cool. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's awesome. So we do have some statistics from [Jess Frazelle](https://twitter.com/jessfraz). 44 new open CLs, of which 22 were merged, as of 2:46 this afternoon. That is awesome! Great news. |
\[48:06\] And we can't even talk about this without me thinking about [Brad Fitzpatrick's](https://twitter.com/bradfitz) picture of him with his "Looks good to me" shirt on and a handful of Gophers stacked around him as he was helping us remotely take care of business, which was awesome. So we should definitely thank [... |
**Ashley McNamara:** Yeah, it was so good. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** We are talking about... A few of the meetup organizers were so taken by the whole exercise that we are -- I mean, different people went up to Steve separately and told him the same thing, which is "We should be doing this a few times a year", just getting meetup groups going through exactly that ... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It actually reminds me... One of the Arizona meetups - I just saw on Twitter today they're actually going through the same exercise at their meetup this coming month. Phoenix, yes. [Brian Downs](https://twitter.com/bdowns328). Thank you, Phoenix, for doing this exact same thing. That's awesome. You'... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** My wishlist is to go through that and have someone from the Go team or one or two people going through the CL, submit it, so we can have that quick feedback loop. Anyway... |
