About the Speakers
Brad Fitzpatrick (http://bradfitz.com/) is on the Go Team at Google. He's been at Google since 2007 working on Social Graph API, PubSubHubbub, WebFinger, Android, and more. Prior to that he founded Danga, created LiveJournal, authored memcached (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memcached) and did a load of stuff at SixApart (OpenID, djabberd, ....) Why Go: "It's refreshingly simple and productive. Makes me giddy about writing code again after years of hating the major trade-offs between different languages."
Blake Mizerany (http://twitter.com/#!/bmizerany) is researcher, developer, and distributed systems architect at Heroku. He's a co-author of Doozer (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/05/google_go/), a highly-available, consistent data store written in Go that makes recovering from failures in distributed systems easy.
