Go doesn't need anything. You just need to write more code ;) On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 6:43 PM, Mark Richman wrote: > I'm somewhat new to the community, and seek to understand its challenges > better. I'm also looking for opportunities to contribute. > > To that end, what

But fedora for example is stuck on 1.6 until fedora 25 is released, its a simular situation to elasticsearch, distro version is old, and has severe limitations, nobody in thier right mind would install from there. Far far safer to use the official version fom the elastic.co site. The same is

Some distros suffer less from this. Arch is perfectly up2date in line with its rolling approach. I agree with Dave that a supported repo is very nice. It is not unusual for companies to lag behind even on LTS installs but still having a need for updates of a particular software. mån 12 sep.

Ian, I would definitely be interested in triage, backlog refinement, etc. Are there product owners designated for each functional area? I could start by making sure new issues are at least assigned to the correct PO for prioritization. With respect to packaging, I'm aware of the current

There's also decimal128 support (first via a third-party library before inclusion into the language itself): https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12332 =) - Augusto On Sunday, September 11, 2016 at 5:01:21 PM UTC-7, Pablo Rozas-Larraondo wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > I can also suggest you to look
