[Golist] Flashbelt

[Moses Gunesch]

Hey I know Donovan is going to Flashbelt, and might be getting  
involved at my presentation! Woo hoo!

Because Go is a community effort, I'm keen to show off all of your  
work more than anything else. To me, explaining the core classes is  
boring but a great way to really show what Go is in the real world is  
just to show as much cool stuff from the community as possible!

So, I've asked you guys to make some demos.... haven't heard much  
excitement about that but I will buy you an ipod shuffle in return, or  
give you a store credit wherever you like! It's not really about the  
prizes people, it's about getting some cool work public – we have to  
date seen almost no actual real world uses of Go even posted to this  
list which is very sad for me. :(

Bribes and guilt-trips aside, ;) if anyone is just excited to share  
some of your Go work, this is a really great chance to get the word  
out to the wider community. In fact if you're going to attend  
Flashbelt it would be great if you want to give a short presentation  
of your material there, so please keep me posted!

Flashbelt is pretty small, only 400 people, but some really incredible  
speakers will be there and it is known for being a quality audience.  
That's 400 people that could see your work and get excited about  
GoASAP and spread the word... nothing to scoff at.

So please don't be shy, this is a great moment to share your ideas.

Post to this list, show me that you are excited, begin to explain what  
your Go extensions do and why they are unique, and by all means if you  
will be attending Flashbelt don't keep that to yourself!!

Thanks!
