I like the idea of having an officially supported Go Driver under ASF. It would 
mean easier contributions.
I don't think we should necessarily limit it to a reference implementation. The 
industry has a strong interest in building server side as well as client 
software in Go.

 Hi folks,
So I was recently talking with, Chris Bannister  the gocql [0]
maintainer, and he expressed an interest in donating the driver to the
ASF.

We could accept this along the same lines as how we took in the dtest
donation - going through the incubator IP clearance process [1], but
in this case it's much simpler as an individual (Chris) owns the
copyright.

I think the end goal here is to have a reference protocol
implementation controlled by the project at the least, potentially
replace cqlsh with a GoLang statically compiled binary eventually (?).

What are other folks' thoughts about this? (we are discussing, not voting).
