📅 AGENDA 📅

19:00-19:25 Networking over drinks and pizza

19:25-19:30 Welcome words

19:30-20:00 go generate: One File To Rule Them All / Konrad Reiche
Code generation is the fifth stage of grief over Go’s lack of generics. With go generate we have a powerful tool to skip writing boilerplate code. Using the ast package I will demonstrate how one file can declare your API, generate middlewares (logging, instrumentation, etc.) and even documentation.

20:00-20:30 Announcements, HR lost & found, break
This is where anyone can get 20 sec to tell us they are looking for a job/to hire/for contribution to their OS project/looking for projects to contribute to/etc

20:30-21:00 Geo and Go / Henry Clifford
We'll introduce the experimental standard golang geo library (github.com/golang/geo) and talk about its perks and pitfalls. I'll talk about the real world applications and common issues with handling geo data I encountered while handling 100ks of geo points at a mapping startup.

* This talk is for developers who are interested in the emerging-standard geo library and how it can solve problems with complex geometries.

* Attendees should have a knowledge of basic golang concepts.

* Attendees can expect to learn about the concepts behind s2 cells and shape simplification (with Visvalingam's algorithm) and using the standard library to implement them.

21:00-end Networking
