+
+### _go_ contributor summit
+
+I was at the [Go contributor summit](https://groups.google.com/g/golang-dev/c/80MFrZwsHgU)
+hosted by GoLab in Florence, Italy.
+Here I met a few members of the Go team at Google (Russ, Alan, Damien, Dmitri, Tatiana),
+as well as some of the Europe based contributors (Filippo, Daniel Marti (mvdan), Alessandro Arzilli (aarzilli), Nicola Murino (drakkan), Jorropo, Jan Merci.
+
+The morning was the actual "summit" part,
+split into 2 tracks from the ideas people brought up on the spot.
+For the sessions I was in,
+it was light on hard technical details 
+and instead dealt more with social issues.
+Things like what it's like for external (non Google) maintainers,
+priorities, reviews, maintenance load, 
+and the contributor->maintainer pipeline.
+There are pictures on [bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/golab-conf.bsky.social/post/3lao5kkhfdk2j)
+or [mastodon](https://mastodon.uno/@golab/113463936598328838).
+
+The afternoon was a meet the Go team event with more end users(?) of Go.
+Question quality varied a bit though there wasn't anything too exciting.
+
+As usual, all the fun discussions happened in the "hallway" track,
+in the more 1-1 style chats with each member.
+Like getting a feel for where `go fix` is going,
+what's on the table for `net/http` changes,
+`gaby` feedback,
+and a deep dive into build/release and gerrit/luci.
+
+Overall, it was quite a bit more interesting than I was expecting.
