What we need for Golang to really provide the best IOT/robotics development tools:

Great Bluetooth LE support


Great OpenCV support


Golang on RTOS like Zephyr, MBED


Shared set of low level hardware interfaces


Why Open Source?

Let’s discuss the philosophy of open source. Is the purpose of OSS just to “save money”, or perhaps there is something else to it…

Interesting Go Projects and News

Proposal: Standard Logger Interface


#golang logging library maintainers: It’s time we agreed on a common interface and converged so we don’t have so much mass confusion.


Package Oriented Design


Floppy Gopher


GDB GUI


GopherCon Speakers Announced!! (how could we forget that??)

Free Software Friday!

Each week on the show we give a shout out to an open source project or community that’s made an impact in our day to day developer lives.

Brian - g.. (exclude vendor from go commands)
