Hi London Gophers,
Kicking off the new year with some great talks, discussions and hopefully even some swag.
In this edition of the meetup we'll have:
- Playwright - Configuration in Go [Josh McGhee] (@mcghee_joshua (https://twitter.com/mcghee_joshua))
Any growing infrastructure platform inevitably accumulates a plethora of configuration formats & templating mechanisms, with varying syntax and functionality. Improbable is building a self-service platform, Playwright which minimises the cognitive load and temporal cost of delivering SpatialOS services. Playwright demonstrates an approach to defining infrastructure, platform and application configurations which aims to empower developers to configure everything from cloud resources to alerts to logging, armed only with a working knowledge of Go.

Abusing Go’s net package for fun and profit. [Michał Witkowski] (@MWitkow https://twitter.com/MWitkow)
This talks into the details of how Go’s composition-based philosophy, as applied to the net package, can be creatively leveraged to beautiful and useful hacks that significantly augment the functionality of the stack. We’ll explore the net.Conn , and how one can (ab)use them in creative ways. We’ll take a peek into net/http, and explore how the http.Handler and http.Roundtripper interfaces can be creatively appropriated to build useful middleware. We’ll then dig even deeper into the net/http internals and how they related tls.Conn and x/net/http2, to understand how they work, and armed with that knowledge we’ll demonstrate some of our most beautiful hacks.
We'll also have a section dedicated to those of you who are hiring or looking to get hired (if we'll miss it like last time, please don't be afraid to remind us).
If you'd like to have a lightning talk at this meetup or a talk at the future meetups, don't be shy, we are always looking for speakers and speaker mentors that want to share their adventures with Go. Submit a talk here (https://goo.gl/forms/TomVfRFz3lpLmGyd2).
With this being said, let your friends know and join us to hear our next guests talking about their endeavours.
P.S. We are always looking for sponsors as well. So if you know someone that can help us with the food / beverage budget, we'll be happy to add the name to our sponsors list. Gophers are known to like food and being hydrated. Thank you!
