FOSDEM 2019: Go room recap
Last week, most of the source{d} employees attended FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting.
For the second year in a raw, we were not only attending the conference but also helping to organize the Go and Machine Learning on Code (ML on Code) devrooms as well as a Beer Payback Happy Hour. At source{d], we’re big fans and users of go which is the language most of the components of our platform are written in.
This blog post is a recap of the talks that took place in the Go devroom. Knowing that the room capacity was approximately 500 attendees and most of the sessions were standing room only, I think we can all agree that the FOSDEM 2019 Go devroom was a big success. Big shout out to our very own Francesc Campoy and Maartje Eyskens for helping to select an amazing speaker lineup and taking care of the logistics.
Check out this twitter thread below to see pictures of all the speakers in action!
