Code & Supply: Go Steel Programmers

Domain closing down, update bookmarks! The owner of the domain go-steel-programmers.org is deliberately letting it expire. The content here will remain available, at https://gosteelprogrammers.github.io/website, for archival purposes. The host formerly known as present.go-steel-programmers.org is now gsp-present.globnix.org, which will do for archival purposes.

We are now part of the Code & Supply Pittsburgh meetup community. The ‘Go Steel Programmers’ focus was on programmers who use Go (#golang), in or around Pittsburgh, PA. There is a much larger group of people active in the Pittsburgh tech scene in Code & Supply, with broader interests, social activities and more.

Please visit Code & Supply's website instead.

This web-page is currently (October 2014) still being updated, but may be discontinued as we discover what does and does not work under the C&S banner.

Online resources include:

• The Code & Supply website.
• Meetings scheduled through Code & Supply's meetup group.
• The C&S Twitter account, @codeandsupply.
• A GitHub organization, GoSteelProgrammers
• A Google+ Community, Go Steel Programmers — fate under C&S unknown.
• IRC: Freenode network, #codeandsupply. You can also find Golang-specific help on the general #go-nuts channel.
  If you're in Pittsburgh, then when we last checked, hubbard.freenode.net is local. Hubbard links: #codeandsupply & #go-nuts.
