are going to being the year's Go

This is a creation in Article, where the information may have evolved or changed.

Last month, during my concluding remarks @ Gophercon India, I threw out a statistic:

In there were five international Go conferences. In there'll be seven.

Barely a month on from this statement I must issue a correction; So far in there is not being seven Go conferences, but nine! at the rate new Go conferences is appearing this year I fully expect to be publishing yet another correction NE XT month.

Let ' s recap:

• FOSDEM kicked things off in January with the Go Dev hostel.
• Gophercon India sold out seats on February for their first and day conference.
• Mainland China would host their first Go conference with Gopherchina in April.
• the Google I/O site is light on details at the moment, but is expected to continue the tradition of holding Go Co De Labs and dev sessions.
• the enigmatic Gocon conference in Japan are expected to make a return this year.
• Gophercon in Denver, CO last year hosted a sell out crowd of over Gophers, and this year we ' re looking to surpass that Record, a lot.
• Golanguk burst onto the scene a week ago promising a conference for the rapidly growing Go community in the UK.
• Gothamgo is tipped to return again this year (not in November, the website is still showing the content).
• last, but by no means Least, dotgo would be back again in November with a larger venue.

And not forgetting the contributions of more than one hundred and thirty local user groups and meetups.

To being able to write a post like this about a language which have only been in the public eye for little over five years are Simply unbelievable. With singular exception of Google I/O, every one of these conferences, and every meetup, have spawned from the Go community itself.

Without a doubt, is going to be the year's Go.
