### What's happening?
To celebrate the release of Go 1.10 we're to organising a world wide release party during the month of February 2018 🎉
#### So what is the release date?
According to the [Go Docs](https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.10): Go 1.10 is expected to be released in February 2018.
### Sounds awesome, how can you get involved?
- If you host a Go user group or meetup, schedule a meetup during February, and celebrate with Gophers around the world.
- If you're a member of a Go user group or meetup, pester your organiser and let them know you'd like to participate.
After the event post a photo, make a video, write a blog post, scribble on your Facebook wall, or tweet something pithy. Let's see how big we can make the celebration.
Spread the word using hashtag [#GoReleaseParty](https://twitter.com/hashtag/goreleaseparty)
Don't forget to add your meetup's details :point_down: right here.
#### Who's involved?

_Organisers, once you've added your group, consider tweeting out a link to the page to raise awareness._
### Stay in touch
Trying to co-ordinate dozens of meetup groups around the globe will be challenging. Here are some ways you can plan your event, and keep up to date.
As always, if you get stuck, or need help, please [contact the organisers directly](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-1.10-release-party#no-seriously-whos-organising-this), we're here to help.
.
##### Slack Channel
We have a channel for the [release party](https://gophers.slack.com/messages/go-release-party/) on the [Gophers Slack](https://gophers.slack.com/messages/go-release-party/). If you need an invite to Slack, [you can request an automatic invite with this link](https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org/).
##### Mailing list
We have set up a [mailing list for meetup organisers](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/go-meetup-organisers) to ask questions.
### What happens in a release party?
As with the previous [Go 1.6](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-1.6-release-party) and [Go 1.8](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-1.8-release-party) release parties, this is a great opportunity to spread the word about the improvements landing 1.10, and the plans for what is coming next!

### What'll happen if Go 1.10 isn't out during February?
If all else fails... at least we'll have each other.
### Who's organising this?
Well, if you run a Go meetup, you are. It can't be a worldwide release party without meetups around the globe.
