Hi all, We are sad to announce that GoCon 2020 has been cancelled. Due to COVID-19 and restrictions in place by the City of Toronto, the Province of Ontario, and our concern for the health of our community, we are unable to safely bring Gophers together in the Great White North

For those that were asking about the easter egg: when viewed under ultraviolet light the #golang Gopher laptops light up. More details here: lubovsoltan.com/gobridge-spe… Art by @Lubov_Soltan as a token of appreciation for @jboursiquot on an awesome @GolangBridge Toronto.

GoCon was created by like-minded volunteers who wanted to bring the spirit of collaboration and community from the Go community to Canada. Although we won't be able to realize that vision this year, we ask that each Gopher support one another and help #FlattenTheCurve ...

When's the last time you got dropped into the deep end, after joining a new team? It can be fun but... that usually doesn't set you up for success. @manifoldco's Chloe Edeal-Smith will be talking all things onboarding onto complex codebases, for happier teams 👯‍♂️👯‍♂️ #goconca2020

Last, not least: dunno about you, but I freakin love a Unix deep-dive, especially one that imparts the audience with new superpowers. We can't really explain how excited we are for @GrantSeltzer of @OscarHealth to show us how to "Trace Go Programs with eBPF" 😍 #goconca2020
