Francesc Campoy Flores joined the Go team in 2012 as Developer Advocate after several years as a Python and C++ developer. His mission is to make Go useful and fun. You can find him on twitter as @francesc.

Talk 2: Docker + Go

A quick overview of how the Docker project built on top of Go's standard testing framework to do integration testing. It will cover how we do things like end-to-end testing between different components that interact with each other, and compatibility testing across different versions of those components.

About the speaker:

Aaron Lehmann is a developer on the distribution team at Docker, focusing on container image storage and distribution over a network in the Docker Engine and Docker Registry open source projects. Before working at Docker, he wrote software to deploy fleets of servers in datacenters, and developed email/SMS anti-abuse software used by ISPs and telecoms worldwide.

Talk 3: Rulio - A Rules Engine in Go

This talk will give an overview of Rulio, a scalable, dynamic rules engine implemented in Go. A Rulio-based system processes events based on dynamic sets of rules and facts.

When an event arrives, the system finds relevant rules that match the event. Each rule's condition can query facts, which can be local or remote. The matched event and these queries produce bindings for logic variables. For each set of bindings, the system then invokes the rule's action with those bindings.

You can run a Rulio-based rules engine in the cloud for millions of users, or you can run it on on a Raspberry Pi just for you. Note that Comcast will be open-sourcing Rulio in January 2016.

About the Speaker

Jamie Stephens is a hacker at Comcast's Silicon Valley Innovation Center. He's performed data engineering and related work since the time before the strange days of running Common Lisp on SunOS.

Talk 4: Go Crypto: What's New

Go has an amazing cryptography package built into the standard library. In Go 1.5 and 1.6, it’s better than ever. Join CloudFlare’s Nick Sullivan for a presentation that explores the new interfaces crypto.Signer and crypto.Decrypter and learn how they can be used to enable some powerful new features.

Nick will also address how his team improved the speed of crypto operations by up to 20x using Go’s inline assembly feature. Attendees will also uncover how to enable cool features like serving a website over HTTPS while storing the private key inside of hardware like a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or a Hardware Security Module (HSM)!
