As handles become names +and avatars become faces, the smiles are real and true friendship can grow. There is joy +in the sharing of knowledge and celebrating the accomplishments of our friends, colleagues, +and neighbors. In our rapidly growing Go community this critical role is played by the +Go user groups. + +To better support our Go user groups worldwide, the Go community leaders at [[https://gobridge.org][GoBridge]] +and Google have joined forces to create a new program called the Go Developer Network +(GDN). The GDN is a collection of Go user groups working together with a shared mission +to empower developer communities with the knowledge, experience, and wisdom to build +the next generation of software in Go. + +We have partnered with Meetup to create our own [[https://meetup.com/pro/go][Pro Network of Go Developers]] +providing Go developers a single place to search for local user groups, events, and +see what other Gophers are doing around the world. + +User groups that join the GDN will be recognized by GoBridge as the official user group +for that city and be provided with the latest news, information, conduct policies, and +procedures. GDN groups will have Meetup fees paid by the GDN and will have access to +special swag and other fun items. Each organizer of a GDN local group will continue to +own the group and maintain full admin rights. *If*you*currently*run*a*user*group*, +please fill out this [[https://j.mp/gdn-form][application]] to request to join the GDN. + +We hope you are as excited about the GDN as we are. -- cgit v1.2.3
