It's not an uncommon practice for teams that run a public website to raise awareness for a good cause, usually by supporting fundraising for a social nonprofit charitable organization. Some choose a children's cancer charity or the Wikimedia foundation, this is what the Go team chose. This does not mean that other issues in the world are not important.
The Go project has never been a sterile place, it always had a personal touch from its creators, see for example the cute gopher drawings. It's also not a science centric community (btw, science is political too, always has been) nor is the Go website the Mona Lisa. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
