Talks

🎤 Tristan Penman
Robotics in Go
This talk will show how Go can be used for small networked robots. Everything will run natively in Go, on a Raspberry Pi using a simple MQTT message bus. In this whirlwind tour, we'll also see how Gobot and Periph can be used to perform IO. We'll finish with a sneak peek at how TinyGo can be used offload timing-critical IO to a microcontroller.

🎤 Yann Vigara
Developer Onboarding That Doesn't Suck
You probably have a Makefile.

It probably has a step that installs golangci-lint. Maybe goreleaser. Maybe buf. Maybe something someone added in 2022 that nobody's touched since and everyone's too scared to remove.
And when a new dev joins the team, they clone the repo, run the Makefile, hit an error on step 3, spend 45 minutes debugging something that has nothing to do with the actual product, and then quietly wonder if they made a mistake joining.
This month I'll show you how to fix that.
Mostly terminal. Mostly live. Probably a few things that will go wrong in interesting ways.

Interested in speaking at an upcoming event?
We will aim to have a mix of short (~10min) and in-depth (20-30min) talks.
