Whats happening?

cgo - binding to C/C++ libraries
Justin Israel, Weta Digitial will be providing a talk on cgo, which is a bridge allowing calls between Go and C. Justin will take a high-level look at when it might be appropriate to reach for a cgo solution, and some examples of interfacing with C/C++ code. Be afraid; The stabilisers are coming off.

Building Terraform Providers in Golang
Alex McNeill, Xero will be coordinating a workshop around how to build your own Terraform providers in Go. This lab should give attendees a good idea of how Terraform Providers work behind the scenes.
