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.

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).
