**Brian Ketelsen:** And the final note before we change the subject on that is that all accepted speakers will be assigned a mentor. So if you've never talked before, but you feel like it's time for you to get out there and spread your wings a little bit, we will assign you an experienced speaker who will help you ever... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Me, Brian and Dave have been known to have many a late night at the conference, sitting in hotel rooms where people give dry runs. We're committed to helping people give good talks and to feel comfortable getting on stage. Another note, we don't make it too clear and a lot of people don't submit be... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[44:10\] That was like the GopherCon sub-segment there. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Right? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** We'd better get to that \#FreeSoftwareFriday. |
**Erik St. Martin:** It's a big event for everybody, and it's really cool to see people come up on stage, and I'd love to see as many people take the opportunity as they can. I don't think it hurts at all. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** One more thing too is that GopherCon is accepting talks, keynotes, normal, regular talks, but also tutorial and workshops. If you don't think you can give a lecture, maybe you can give a workshop teaching something. Maybe that'll be easier. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, we have three different types of proposals that are accepted. We've got the plenary talks, 25-minute talks up on the big stage, we've got the tutorials, which are 45-minute talks in our split-outs in the afternoons, and then we've got workshops, which are entire-day classes that you can teach ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Nice. So Casey, we'll send in our GoTime FM Slack channel just that a.k.a. "Now you wanna go to GopherCon but don't have the money? Submit a talk!" \[laughter\] |
**Carlisia Thompson:** For sure, why not? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Something tells me that you'd be more nervous - from past experience, you spend more time worried about your talk than enjoying the conference you're at. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** But I think that's always the case, right? At least for me it would be, if I were talking. |
**Erik St. Martin:** If you're Brandon Philips from CoreOS, you hang out and you work until the second somebody taps your shoulder and tells you to go on stage. \[laughs\] I've never seen somebody so calm before having to talk. |
Alright, so \#FreeSoftwareFriday... I know we're on a tight timeline with Carlisia having a hard stop. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Why don't you go first, Carlisia? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Alright, I'll go first. I want to give a shoutout to Peter Bourgon and his oklog package - a distributed and coordination-free log management system. It looks like it was a ton of work, and if you need some log management system, I think it would be really interesting to try and use this. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It looks impressive. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** It looks very impressive. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** His blog post announcing it was very well written, too. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** And it has extensive design documents. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I'm a little disappointed... You've always curated a list of cool things for me, Brian, and you never sent this to me. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, my bad. I've been busy. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Busy... What is that? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, right? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** The other interesting thing is that I remember him posting on Twitter maybe three months ago (four, tops) asking if there was the equivalent of Prometheus for logs, which means he wrote this afterwards, so... I don't know how somebody can whip up something this complex so quickly. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** He had a little help, and they started with the concepts from GoKit as their base, so it's certainly... I don't think it happened all alone and all Peter in just a month or so. I think Chris Heinz was deeply involved too, and several others. It still looks amazing, and I'm not diminishing the amount... |
What about you, Erik? Did you come up with something good this week for \#FreeSoftwareFriday? |
**Erik St. Martin:** I did. This is kind of hardware-related, it's a project called OpenOCD, which is Open On-Chip Debugger, and it's used for doing SWD and JTAG debugging of chips. It's open source software. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** All I heard is "Blah-blah-blah..." \[laughter\] "JTAG-something-something Special Forces...", I don't know... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[47:59\] Think GDB for hardware. So it allows you to connect GDB to, say, like a micro-controller and step through the code that's executing on it. And the JTAG's a little bit more involved with the way that works, but similar things it does, as well as \[unintelligible 00:48:15.19\] things. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Nice, very cool. Travis, did you have something you wanted to share for \#FreeSoftwareFriday? |
**Travis Jeffery:** Yeah, I wanted to share Redis and Salvatore Sanfilippo - an old project that's been going on for a long time now. I think it was released in 2009, and it still feels as useful and as fresh as when it came out. I've been using it for a long time and there's so many use cases for it... Sometimes peopl... |
He also recently put out one of my favorite blog posts about a release, and I'll just read a little bit here where it says, "The first release candidate of Redis 4.0 is out. It's not yet stable, but it's soon to become, and comes with a long list of things that will make Redis more useful for we users. Finally, Redis 4... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[laughs\] The shizz? |
**Travis Jeffery:** Yeah, exactly. I just love that, Redis is awesome. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's awesome. I can't imagine the world without Redis. It's been around for a long time and it's still fast as heck. Awesome stuff. |
**Travis Jeffery:** And they recently added a module support. I think he (Salvatore) actually created a module that implements like a neural network in Redis, so... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, wow... |
**Travis Jeffery:** Pretty awesome. So I think that will be another thing that a lot of cool stuff will be made for modules. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That whole project is a great example of accessible C code. I am not a C developer by a long shot, but it's well-written C code, well-tested C code, and it's a good place to go if you wanna learn some C. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I've not messed with Redis in a couple of years. It's interesting, because we were using it for a long time, and then we just kind of don't anymore. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, it's true... We found Kafka. \[laughter\] We've found a bigger hammer for that screw. \[laughter\] Alright, so my \#FreeSoftwareFriday for the week is one that I've already mentioned before but I used it extensively this week and it just brought me joy again, and that's goa/gorma, designing yo... |
**Erik St. Martin:** How is that mixing with Buffalo now? Are you combining the two, or are you using some for one, and...? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I haven't combined them yet, although as I was doing this goa project this week I thought about ways that they could actually combine nicely together. So maybe there might be something like that in the future. Go is very specifically API-level and Buffalo is very much on the website, although it doe... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[51:53\] Todd's calling me out. It really is me responding on Twitter and talking at the same time. I'm good like that. \[laughter\] |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I'm going to say goodbye, and Travis, thank you so much. |
**Travis Jeffery:** Thank you, good talking with you. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Bye, Carlisia. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Talk soon, bye. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Thanks, Carlisia. |
