**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, it's one of those things, like -- you don't understand, but it makes sense. It's amazing! It was a great talk. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It was a "temporary made sense", though... As I was listening, I was like "Yeah, this makes sense", but then an hour later it's all gone. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, don't ask me to explain it to you. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's okay. It was a great talk. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Any other favorites from the group? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** [Ashley McNamara's talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sBBTFXOq44)... There wasn't a single dry eye in the house... It was so good. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Oh, my god... I cried, and then -- |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Nobody succeeds alone. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** The guy on my left - I was sitting between two guys - wasn't crying, but the guy on my right was like lifting his glasses and wiping his tears. I'm like "Okay, I'm not the only one." |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, it just underscores to me how much the community matters in any project, in any enterprise, in any effort, and I think the Go community is really kickass. We have a great community that cares about each other, willing to do things to help, and Ashley's talk really underscored how much that hel... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Did anybody get to see [Kris Nova's talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiYHDDz_7mE)? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I was going to say that... Oh my gosh, I'm saying this all the time. I was tied up with something and I missed her talk, and I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet. That was on the top of my list of talks to watch. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, that one's on my list as well. I felt bad, because I really wanted to try to sneak into that one, and then I can't remember what happened and I realized I looked at my watch and I'm like "It was an hour ago." |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[39:51\] One of the things that's kind of amusing about that talk is that in conversations with random people over the last week or two, that talks specifically has come up several times. It was like, "You know, in Kris's talk, blah-blah-blah-blah...", so I think that one's making its way around th... |
**Erik St. Martin:** I'm trying to remember what other ones I saw... I did see a good portion of [Mitchell Hashimoto's talk on advanced testing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hQG7QlcLBk), and I think there are some really good examples... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Oh, that talk was great. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, lots of good takeaways in that one. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I was really excited that -- afterwards I talked to my co-workers and they were also excited about the fact that [Vault](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault) has a test thing that you can use... As opposed to spinning up a Vault to test your stuff against, you can just have a virtual Vault; we lea... |
**Erik St. Martin:** And then Sam Boyer did a talk on [The New Era Of Go Package Management](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LtMb090AZI). He was talking about the new [Dep](https://golang.github.io/dep/), a bit of the history, direction, and guessing -- not guessing; guessing is the wrong word... But kind of like wher... |
Any other favorites anybody was able to make it to? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Joe Tsai's talk about [Forward Compatible Go Code](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuT8YYAOOVI). I learned a lot from that talk, because there are things that you can take away from the Go 1 guarantee that all of your code will be forward-compatible, and there are things that you should really deepl... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Can I apologize to the speakers that hear this show and don't hear their names mentioned? To be clear, Brian and Erik - they run the conference and they don't have a chance to watch most of the talks... And I was planning to watch all the talks I could, but I got tied up doing a little thing and ... |
Now I wanna mention that the talks are listed on the GopherCon repo - a repo called [2007 talks](https://github.com/gophercon/2017-talks), and I wanted to say thank you to [Daniela Petruzalek](https://twitter.com/danicat83) from Brazil. She was the scholarship recipient and she put together a readme with the links to e... |
I'm sure it took a lot of time to put this together. It seems like a little thing, but it's so handy. I'm on this page daily. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[43:54\] Yeah, couldn't agree more. She put way more effort into putting the talks into a nice, organized table, with links to everybody and all the things than I certainly would have so and one of the things that she mentioned in Slack was that Ashley's talk inspired her to do that. This is a way ... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** That reminded me of something else I wanted to say in today's episode... People ask me, "So how did you get involved with these things?" because they look at me like, "I'm not nobody, but I'm doing a podcast, and I'm doing this, and I'm doing that..." - that's exactly how you get to be in a posit... |
Start looking for opportunities to contribute and when people ask you to do something, say yes. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, just sort of take a chance. Before we end up wrapping up the two or moving on too far, I wanna mirror Carlisia's statement, too. Specific talks mentioned on the episode today are in no manner scoring higher than others; they happen to be ones that we were able to attend or happen to be able t... |
Everybody did an outstanding job, all the talks were great, so definitely make your way through the whole list. We did a survey too, and all of the talks got amazing feedback, so you won't be disappointed with any of them. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Well spoken. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So before we wrap up, I wanted to call out some other conferences too, in case you didn't get your fix at GopherCon, or it wasn't a big enough fix and you need more Go conferences... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** More! |
**Erik St. Martin:** [Golang UK](https://www.golanguk.com/) is on the 16th. This episode may or may not air before then... I've gotta do the math in my head; but anybody who's listening live, tickets are still available. Brian will be speaking there. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I am closing out the show, burning the place down! |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[laughs\] And then [GothamGo](http://gothamgo.com/) is in October. They've announced their keynote speakers - Steve Francia, Alan Donovan, Carmen Andoh, Jon Bodner and Jessie Frazelle. I don't think they've announced any of the other speakers, but I think the CFP might be over for that already. |
[DotGo](https://www.dotgo.eu/) in Paris is in November. It announced six of their speakers. Brian is also speaking there. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Burning that one down, too. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Francesc and JBD and Sameer are also some of the speakers they announced. Then [GopherCon Brazil](https://2017.gopherconbr.org/) is in November, and the CFP is open for that, so if you'd like to speak at a conference, I'm sure they would love to see your proposal. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, and I know Steve Francia is going to be at that conference in Brazil. Jess Frazelle is also going to be there, I'm pretty sure. I think I saw that. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, nice. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, it's the second one. Last year it was really -- from all the accounts I've heard, it was really well done. And it's in Brazil, come on! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, it's Brazil. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Talking about Brazil, are we done with the conference listing? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Sure. He could talk about it for hours, so anytime you wanna end, it's great. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[47:57\] I just want a quick shoutout to Chairô from Brazil who was at the conference and gave us all a very fancy bottle of wine. By no means I wanna encourage people to give us gifts (please don't), I'm just saying because he did it, so I feel very compelled to say thank you on the air. He was... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, don't bring us gifts! |
**Erik St. Martin:** I think that adds to the impostor syndrome. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, I can't possibly be worthy of somebody bringing a bottle of wine 10,000 miles. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, he did four, because Adam also got one. Now I feel like I need to do better. It's such a pressure! People, don't give us gifts. \[laughs\] |
