Go was a big part of [Google I/O](https://www.google.com/events/io) on Wednesday and Thursday, and on Monday we took advantage of the large gopher population to run the [Go SummerFest](http://www.meetup.com/golangsf/events/170421402/), a special instance of the [GoSF](http://www.meetup.com/golangsf) meetup.
