To date all community oriented activities +have been organized by the community with minimal involvement from the Go +project. We greatly appreciate these efforts. + +After talking to many community organizers we have heard consistent +feedback that they would like better collaboration between organizers and +the Go project. We are forming the Community outreach Working Group (CWG) +to help support these community efforts. + +## The CWG Mission + +The mission of the CWG is to act as a conduit between the broader Go +community, it’s organizers and the Go project. The CWG will help provide +the structures and community management necessary to create an online and +in person community that is enjoyable and rewarding to participate in. The +CWG leadership represents the Go project in these efforts. + +**The CWG is responsible for:** + + - Defining programs to facilitate deeper collaboration across the community. + - Facilitating the coordination of Go events + - Establishing growth and expansion plans for the community + - Project exposure and accessibility + - Ecosystem Development + +**Leadership:** + + - [Ashley McNamara](https://twitter.com/ashleymcnamara) + - [Cassandra Salisbury](https://twitter.com/Cassandraoid) + - [Francesc Campoy](https://twitter.com/francesc) + - [Steve Francia](https://twitter.com/spf13) + +## Plans for Action + +The CWG has an [open GitHub repo](https://github.com/golang/cwg) we’ve created for complete transparency +of our efforts. We have various [GitHub projects](https://github.com/golang/cwg/projects) which are acting as our +primary initiatives.
