Re: sysdharma - Gophercon
April 08th, 2018
----------------------------------------
I was so excited about the possibility of a gophercon when I saw
the first mention of Brazil. I was just as heartbroken when it
turned out (once again) to be about Go-lang. It drives me crazy
that they keep using "gopher" for everything. Fakes me out every
time. Boo.
Bitreich has something they do in Germany for gopher, but I'm not
sure what sort of attendance it gets or if it's more for their
private community. I'd love a real gopher (1436) conference, but
we regular users are far too spread out around the globe. I can't
imagine many people traveling across continents to attend. Maybe
a virtual thing? Do those work?
If we were to have a conference I think it should either be called
simply "1436con" or "Port 70". No confusion there. What sort of
things would happen at a conference for gopher? Ideas:
- A talk or two on TLS and Gopher over Tor
- Panel discussion on the pros & cons of adding new ItemTypes
- "To gophermap or not to gophermap, that is the question"
- Social networking on legacy, minimal systems
- Other sociological stuff about community
- "Content is King"
What else?
