Panel With the Go Team
summary
Go team reports the user base nears 2 million and community size jumps 76% growth in 2017, with a survey of ~77,000 respondents reporting membership feeling twice as welcome. A contributors summit gathers ~50 external and ~30 Google attendees and a contributor workshop yields over 100 contributions including ~60 first-time contributors. Proposal Review meets weekly, any GitHub proposal can be submitted, default decision is no, and ~60% of accepted proposals come from non-Googlers. vgo is accepted as a prototype (vendor reintroduced); it needs real-world feedback and fixes.
