| ## The Go project wants to hear from you! | |
| The Go project wants to hear from you! Our goal is to create the best language | |
| for developing simple, reliable, scalable software. We are asking you to help | |
| by participating in a survey and if applicable, a company questionnaire. | |
| ## The Go User Survey | |
| **Who:** If you use Go, have ever used Go, have ever stopped using Go, or have | |
| any interest in the language, please help by sharing your feedback to improve | |
| Go for you and your fellow Gophers. | |
| **Where:** Please take this 20-minute survey by December 22nd: [Go User Survey 2016](https://goo.gl/NJgrHT) | |
| The survey is anonymous and confidential. | |
| **Why:** The Go project leadership depends on your feedback to guide the future | |
| of the Go project. Your responses will help to understand how we are doing and | |
| help plan improvements for the Go language, libraries, and tools. | |
| After the survey closes, we will publish the anonymous aggregate results to the Go blog. | |
| ## The Go Company Questionnaire | |
| **Who:** If you are in a position to share details like “company name”, “if your | |
| company is hiring Go developers”, and “reasons your team or company adopted Go” | |
| then please help us by taking this questionnaire. We only need one response per | |
| company (or department for larger companies). | |
| **Where:** Please take this 5-minute questionnaire by December 22nd: [Go Company Questionnaire 2016](https://goo.gl/Epya2q) | |
| The questionnaire is confidential, but not anonymous. | |
| **Why:** The Go project would like to better understand the companies using Go. | |
| After the questionnaire closes the Go project leadership will use this | |
| information to better understand how companies are utilizing Go and in what | |
| ways the project can improve their experience. If you participate we may reach | |
| out for further information. | |
| ## Spread the word! | |
| Please help us spread the word by sharing this post on your social network | |
| feeds, at meetups, around your office and in other communities. | |
| The survey & questionnaire close by December 22nd so please share today. |
