- The [Early Access Program for GoLand 2023.1](https://blog.jetbrains.com/go/2023/01/20/the-goland-2023-1-early-access-program-is-open/) is open.
- 🎧 [Cup o'Go](https://cupogo.dev/) is a new weekly Go news and discussion podcast from Jonathan Hall and Shay Nehmad. We wouldn't normally link to a show _quite_ so new, but there aren't many Go podcasts and they've made a great start.
- If you haven't taken it, the [Go community survey for January 2023](https://google.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bNnbAtFZ0vfRTH8?s=t) is still live and your answers could help toward Go's future.
- GopherCon Europe 2023 has [opened applications for _diversity scholarships_](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeE2j4ypvPI7VN5Q7y58nhqEs5DJRMPl-5_roh2Y7ZaiBvavg/viewform), a way that folks who might not ordinarily be able to attend the event (whether virtually or in-person) can be assisted.
- [Is it Go or 'Golang'?](https://go.dev/doc/faq#go_or_golang) It's Go, but 'Golang' can be helpful to disambiguate in certain situations.
