| 11 | Since 2016, thousands of Gophers around the world have helped the Go project |
| 12 | by sharing their thoughts via our annual Go Developer Survey. |
| 13 | Your feedback has played an enormous role in driving changes to our language, |
| 14 | ecosystem, and community, including the gopls language server, |
| 15 | the latest generics draft, the module mirror, and so much more. |
| 16 | And of course, we publicly share [each year's results](https://blog.golang.org/survey2019-results), |
| 17 | so we can all benefit from the community's insights. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | This year we’ve streamlined the survey to shorten the time it takes to |
| 20 | complete and improved the survey’s accessibility. |
| 21 | The specific questions each person will see are randomly selected, |
| 22 | so folks who’ve taken the survey in prior years may not see all of the |
| 23 | questions they are used to. |
| 24 | Rest assured that they are still there. This approach allows us to ask about |
| 25 | a wider variety of topics than in prior years while also reducing the survey’s length. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Today we are launching the 2020 Go Developer Survey. |
| 28 | We'd love to hear from everyone who uses Go, |
| 29 | used to use Go, or is interested in using Go, |
| 30 | to help ensure the language, community, and ecosystem fit the needs of the |
| 31 | people closest to it. |
| 32 | Please help us shape Go's future by participating in this 10-minute survey by November 8th: |
| 33 | [Take the 2020 Go Developer Survey](https://google.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1O0A5f70Q38dlVr). |

| 35 | ## Spread the word! |
| 36 | |
| 37 | We need as many Gophers as possible to participate in this survey to help |
| 38 | us better understand our global user base. |
| 39 | We'd be grateful if you would spread the word by sharing this post on your |
| 40 | social network feeds, |
| 41 | around the office, at virtual meet-ups, and in other communities. Thank you! |
