**Brian Ketelsen:** It's all about pressure. Alright, I have to sign out; I've got a hard stop here in two minutes, because I am working for a company now... So thanks everybody for another show, and feel free to continue without me. GopherCon was amazing this year, and I just can't say thank you enough to all the peop... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Bye, Brian. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Bye, Brian. I wanna thank everybody, too. [Scott Mansfield](https://twitter.com/sgmansfield) is asking about open source shoutouts. I think today really is about the community. I think that everybody contributing and everybody in the Go contributors room helping people contribute, and everybody who... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** No, absolutely I second what you said. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So I think with that I think we can wrap this show up. Hopefully, coming here in the future we'll talk a little bit about some of these other conferences. Are you going to any of the other conferences? I know you go to Brazil, right? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I'd love to go to Brazil, that's still up in the air. I don't know, my work is really heavy now, and I don't know if I can take the time off. We'll see. And also, I don't what I would -- I mean, I'd have to talk, because that's how Fastly would pay me to go, and I have nothing to talk about... No... |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's always the hard part, getting a content. Well, I can't say that's the hard part... Getting up in front of a bunch of strangers and talking is probably the hard part, but first you have to get past coming up with what you're going to talk about. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, for me that's the hardest part, coming up with something to talk about. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I struggle with that, too. I'd like to speak again at another conference, but I need to come up with some material that I wanna talk about... Preferably something I'm super passionate about; it makes it easier that way. |
\[51:00\] But if any of us make it to some of these conferences - I know Brian's gonna at least be at the two - we will chat a bit about our experiences there. |
I guess that's a wrap. Thanks, Carlisia... Brian's already gone, so we can't thank him. Thanks everybody for listening and everybody who made it to GopherCon. And even if you didn't attend, all the companies contributing towards the diversity initiatives. This year was so amazing, and we're so grateful to be a part of ... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, it made a huge difference, thank you. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And as far as the podcast goes, if you're enjoying it, please share with friends and colleagues. We are on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/GoTimeFM), you can chat with us live in the Slack channel... I always forget the invite link for that. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** You can always go to General, and at the top, the invite is right there. |
**Erik St. Martin:** No, I mean, for where it invites to sign you up, or you can sign yourself up. There's the [auto sign-up](https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org/). |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, invite.slack.golangbridge.org - that's what I mean. If you wanna get that link, go to the general channel, and right at the top is one of the links to that. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Okay, so [invite.slack.golangbridge.org](https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org/) to join the Slack. There's also the [Changelog Slack](https://changelog.slack.com/) which links with it if you wanna chat with us, and especially in real time. With that, thanks everybody! We'll see you next week! |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Bye, thank you! |
