Go 1.6 Release Party

To celebrate the release of Go 1.6, we (The Go London User Group) are organising an event night in line with the release date of February the 17th, 2016.
Go 1.6 is the 7th release of the language which has been open source since November 10th, 2009 -- that's 6.5 years since the project was open sourced and nearly 4 years since the 1.0 release.A lot has changed in the language since 1.0, so this is a great opportunity to discuss the improvements landing 1.6.

The RSVP is on SkillsMatter, please register on the website https://skillsmatter.com/meetups/7868-go-release-party-meetup

The highlights of the night will be our two main talks:

• Go 1.6 Release Party by David Hernandez

• Inception: Go programs that generate Go code by Ernesto Jimenez

Lightning talks:

• Introducing Silk: Markdown driven API tests by Mat Ryer

We're aiming to start 7pm sharp, but doors will open at 6:30pm.

We'll also have time for lightning talks, something that has been a great success at previous meetups.

So if you're working on an interesting project, learned something surprising about Go recently, or want to publicise a package you've created, let us know and we can fit you in!

Also we're still closing down on sponsors for the night, so if you know of any or are willing to sponsor our drinks for the evening, please give us a shout!

See you there!
