• Address the camera + live-streaming issues
• Figure out who the Pillar Cities are
• Test Pillar cities live-streaming capabilities
• Create a web page (could pull data from meetup.com?)
• Announce the Pillar meetups in a blog post

Start collecting names of people in different areas who are able to help teach/mentor Go for workshops.

I was posting about this earlier on #meetup-organisers. November is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writers Month) so I was thinking it'd be cool for meetups to hold NaGoWriMo (National Gopher Writers Month) content creator workshops in November where people could work on and help each other with blogs, vlogs, Go talks, Gopher art, and any other Go content. Then since that includes preparing talks, that'd also be a good way to get new speakers for a lightning talks meetup. Anyone interested?

Establish the parameters for a successful contributor workshop are in anticipation for a World Wide Contribution day on Go's birthday.

• Possibly create a list on companies who want to host Go meetups and their corresponding cities.
• Could start on GitHub and eventually translate into a webpage.
• Are there any complied lists currently out there?
• Could start with Google spaces at the very least.

• create form in doc
• translate doc to form
• distribute form via social media + slack

Do we want to create a blog about this?

It's a suggestion. I can't tell if this is on your list of things to do already.
I bet it's easy enough.

We typically do the GopherAcademy Advent series on our blog every year. Is that something the CWG wants to help edit and coordinate?

It is hard to pronounce the repo name as it is, and might be hard to understand what it stands for for those who are not familiar with the group? What about renaming it to "community"?

when is golang 1.10 release party? please help

There are thousands of excellent resources that exist across the web in many different languages, targeted at various levels of experience with Go.

When training Gophers, new or experienced, some good starting points include:

• https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Learn
• https://dave.cheney.net/resources-for-new-go-programmers /
• https://gobyexample.com/
• https://github.com/ardanlabs/gotraining

and great blogs :P ...

• https://dave.cheney.net/
• https://peter.bourgon.org/blog/
• https://www.goinggo.net/

not to mention many community packages which have curated lists such as:

• https://awesome-go.com/

It would be great to have an official community-driven (aka user-generated content) site where resources can be submitted and labelled with a hierarchy of categories and/or set of tags, and categorize language, level of experience, content creation date, Go version relevant to, etc. Support for community ratings would be awesome. It also might help us to curate a list of experience reports as well :)

In following code:
func ReadFile(filename string) (JPGFile, error) {
jpgFile := JPGFile{}
in, err := os.Open(filename)
defer in.Close()
if err != nil {
return jpgFile, err
}
binary.Read(in, binary.LittleEndian, &jpgFile)
return jpgFile, nil
}

binary.Read accepts "in" (os.File) as a reader, but if I pass the file as a parameter to the function I get the correct error message that "in" is not a reader as defined in the documentation: func Read(r io.Reader, order ByteOrder, data interface{}) error

:) This list will be plentiful.

Some relevant comments golang/go#21025

follow on to #28

Since we're calling it Community Outreach Working Group (COWG) , should the repo be cowg instead of cwg?

or if it's CWG, then revise #15, etc.

How do meetups get sponsoring?

I think the organizers from successful meetups could give their best practices for those that are starting.

Liaison between Go conferences and speakers and play match maker.

Create a list of all Golang conferences. Attach resources to this issue then figure out the best way to share (ie: web page attached to golang.org?)

This page will need lots of info - including a 'getting involved' section. Is there any copy for this potential page? If not, we can start from scratch.

Decide best strategic route for Go community blogging.

A few starter thoughts...

Some Logistics:

• Should we get a medium account?
• Should we create a submission process?
• Should we actively look for material?

Per content:

• What availability and expectations can we have of the Go team in terms of content?
• Should we start a monthly 'here's what happened' technical run-through for the community to read about the project?
• Should we have different sections within the blog to organize more robust content.

We could start with a list of conferences that have solid X language track (new, modern, emerging - doesn't matter) as well as open source confs. Could build out the list and open up to community to 'submit their talks' and attempt to get expert speakers at said conferences.

Hey guys,
I want to start a local community to advocate the use of Go as a cool technology for AI / Search etc.
For me to be credible and attract as much motivated and talented people as I can, I would like some support (in form of guidance, referral, connection to a close group) from the broader Go community. I thought this might be the right place to start asking:

• Any local community might share its success story so I can draw inspiration ?
• Any tunisian community that might be affiliated to Go (maybe Google for students or something) ?
  Thank you !

Hello All -

I'm new to GoLang and I'm looking forward to making some effective contributions to the GoLang Community.

This my first time here. And it looks there are not many activities going on here, since 2017. I could help structure the ReadMe.md and guide new contributors as myself get started.

Please, I look forward to being part of the community and see our we collaborate and scale it together.

Thank you 🙌🙌

Must haves:

• Include Go Swag [Stickers for meetup, larger swag for things like Hack-a-thons]

• Include CoC

• Guide to having a successful meetup

Could haves:

• Logo (if requested)

To make this feel like a community initiative I recommend we announce it to the community on the Golang blog or on the future Go Community medium account or both.

• Write up charter
• Define membership
• Publish on the golang.org blog
