“It’s very much India’s Go Conference. It’s not just us coming in and talking at you,” says Dave Cheney, an Australian speaker, blogger, and open source author. Dave co-organises the Sydney Go Users group and has been an active contributor to the Go project since February 2011. He spent some time during GopherConIndia 2015 to talk with Atul Jha, Community Manager for The New Stack, for this episode of The New Stack Analysts.

Atul shares his reflections here on GopherConIndia, which was held in his own city of Bengaluru, and which had an invitee list of about 350 participants. Also at GopherConIndia and joining Atul for the podcast were:
