Mission statement

The golang-tools community is a group of people whose main focus / interest is the development of tools for the Go language. It is open to all developers regardless of experience level. A non-exhaustive sample of frequently encountered topics: code analysis, compilers, editor / IDE plugins, language servers, standard libraries, ...

Community spaces

Discussion within the community takes place in three main spaces. There are also dedicated golang-tools sessions held at GopherCon each year.

Slack

Most day-to-day discussion take place in the #tools channel on the Gophers Slack (sign-up here).

Mailing list

The golang-tools mailing list contains community updates as well as other forms of announcements.

Calls

The community operates a monthly “catch-up” call covering updates about large-impact changes, new tool initiatives, ongoing community projects and much more. The agenda is community-driven and anyone can suggest items that they would like to cover.

Like the other discussion spaces these calls are open to anyone and people new to the community are encouraged to join in and share in the conversation. The details (date, link, phone number, …) for each call are shared via the mailing list as well as the Slack channel.
