November 29: Go-Giving

Join the Go Language NYC group in their first ever Go-Giving. An event where we give thanks to those who have given back. This round of talks will feature lightning talks by members of the community who have contributed to one or more Go open source projects and/or initiatives. It doesn't matter how big or how small, all contributions matter and we want to share your story.

Visit https://github.com/golangnyc/meetups to submit your story!

All experience levels in public speaking and Go programming are welcome to speak!

This event will be hosted and sponsored by our friends at Bitly in their NYC headquarters, situated in the Flatiron district.
