did something very silly, may have some at gophercon this year if you ever sent us a vulnerability report or contributed to Go crypto (or are just nice to me) thanks to @ljamesart.bsky.social who did the great art!

genuinely confused why people are so interested in this, but hey whatever

not wrong (and I'm sure still true)

I don't think they post here, but excited to be talking about what the Go Security team does, and why (hopefully) you don't hear much about us, at GopherCon UK in August.

🔥Keynote Speaker Announcement

We are delighted to announce that Roland Shoemaker will be a key note speaker at this year's #gopherconuk.

Roland leads the Go Security team at Google, working on cryptography, transport security, vulnerability triage, and generally keeping Go secure. Before working on the Go team, he worked on the Let's Encrypt project building the certificate authority software which now issues millions of certificates each day.

Despite its 15 year history, Go has had a rather uneventful security history. In his keynote, Roland will talk about why that is, some of the mistakes made, and what they learnt. Along with what he's working on now, and what’s on the horizon to make Go an even better, safer language for the next 15 years.

Buy your tickets over on our website & join Roland as he opens Day 1 of our conference on 13th August 2025.
