GopherCon 2015 CFP Now Open
- rfb 12y agoAnd here I was hoping a gopher:// resurgence was taking place.
- bketelsen 12y agoyou could always submit a talk on implementing the gopher protocol in Go.
- welly 12y agoMy hopes were also dashed. Bring back gopher!
- rakoo 12y agoAs someone too young to have used gopher://, I'd like to take your comment half-seriously: from a user POV, how is it different than, say, HTTP ? (I believe it occupies more or less the same domain)
- welly 12y agoIt was pretty much a document search system. It was really useful at the time when I was at university as a number of universities and organisations had gopher servers with information not available on the then fledgling world wide web. It was in no way comparable with the web or http. My comment was more nostalgic than anything!
- barbs 12y agoIt's not clear from that page, but Gophercon "is the inaugural event for an annual conference devoted exclusively to the Go programming language." http://gophercon.com/about/ http://gophercon.com/about/ EDIT: The page is now more descriptive :).
- bketelsen 12y agoI suppose I should make that more clear. Thanks.
- haberdasher 12y agoGophers: If you plan on presenting via some sort of deck of slides, perhaps you could try to present, capture and share via this thing I made: http://presentio.us/view/p1tcHs http://presentio.us/view/p1tcHs edit: "SlideDeck" is not a word and need not be CamelCased...
- austinprete 12y agoJust checked out the website, awesome idea! Hope to see this catch on with tech talks.
- haberdasher 12y agoPlease forward to anyone giving a talk! Also, I'd love for professors/educators to start using it.
