| title: Go-1.10-Release-Party |
| --- |
| |
| ### What's happening? |
| To celebrate the release of Go 1.10 we're to organising a world wide release party during the month of February 2018 🎉 |
| |
| #### So what is the release date? |
| Go 1.10 was released on February 16. |
| |
| ### Sounds awesome, how can you get involved? |
| - If you host a Go user group or meetup, schedule a meetup during February, and celebrate with Gophers around the world. |
| - If you're a member of a Go user group or meetup, pester your organiser and let them know you'd like to participate. |
| |
| After the event post a photo, make a video, write a blog post, scribble on your Facebook wall, or tweet something pithy. Let's see how big we can make the celebration. |
| |
| Spread the word using hashtag [#GoReleaseParty](https://twitter.com/hashtag/goreleaseparty) |
| |
| Don't forget to add your meetup's details :point_down: right here. |

| |
| ### Stay in touch |
| |
| Trying to co-ordinate dozens of meetup groups around the globe will be challenging. Here are some ways you can plan your event, and keep up to date. |
| |
| As always, if you get stuck, or need help, please [contact the organisers directly](#no-seriously-whos-organising-this), we're here to help. |
| . |
| ##### Slack Channel |
| We have a channel for the [release party](https://gophers.slack.com/messages/go-release-party/) on the [Gophers Slack](https://gophers.slack.com/messages/go-release-party/). If you need an invite to Slack, [you can request an automatic invite with this link](https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org/). |
| |
| ##### Mailing list |
| We have set up a [mailing list for meetup organisers](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/go-meetup-organisers) to ask questions. |
| |
| ### What happens in a release party? |
| As with the previous [Go 1.6](/wiki/Go-1.6-release-party) and [Go 1.8](/wiki/Go-1.8-Release-Party) release parties, this is a great opportunity to spread the word about the improvements landing 1.10, and the plans for what is coming next! |
| |
| #### Resources |
| |
| You can use the slide deck that the Go London User Group in London will use. It's [available here](https://talks.godoc.org/github.com/dlsniper/talks/2018/go-1.10-release-party/presentation.slide#1) ([source](https://github.com/dlsniper/talks/tree/master/2018/go-1.10-release-party)) |

| ### What'll happen if Go 1.10 isn't out during February? |
| If all else fails... at least we'll have each other. |
| |
| |
| ### Who's organising this? |
| Well, if you run a Go meetup, you are. It can't be a worldwide release party without meetups around the globe. |
