     7  * Introduction
     8  
     9  The week of June 23rd was a good week for gophers in San Francisco. Go was a big
    10  part of [[https://www.google.com/events/io][Google I/O]] on Wednesday and
    11  Thursday, and on Monday we took advantage of the large gopher population to run
    12  the [[http://www.meetup.com/golangsf/events/170421402/][Go SummerFest]], a
    13  special instance of the [[http://www.meetup.com/golangsf][GoSF]] meetup. This
    14  blog post is a recap of both events.

    32  * Go at Google I/O
    33  
    34  On the Wednesday and Thursday, Go was at Google I/O in two different
    35  formats: the Go booth in the sandbox area and the Go code labs available in the
    36  code lab area and all around the world through
    37  [[https://www.google.com/events/io/io-extended][I/O Extended]].

    43  The Go booth was part of the Developer Sandbox area.
    44  
    45  For the two days of the conference, some gophers from Google and other
    46  companies gave a series of talks and demonstrations. The talks were not
    47  recorded, but the slides and some screencasts and blog posts will be shared
    48  soon.
