I did contribute the initial version of the os.user package for Windows, which was then picked up by the core team. Also started to add Windows to the exp.gui/draw packages, but gave up on them when they were dropped from Go 1.
I find github criteria a bad one, as many people I know don't even care about it.
I still lurk in the Go mailing list as a language geek, but lost interest, as the language feels too minimalist to my taste, given my experience with other languages.
In a way I belong to the group Rob recently described as C++ programmers. Given my experience in language design, using Go makes me feel I am back in high school with Turbo Pascal 6.0.
But Google's weight might nevertheless help Go become mainstream, who knows.

Oberon is still pretty much alive for ETHZ students as Active Oberon, just check the list of possible assignments, http://www.nativesystems.inf.ethz.ch/WebHomeProjects.
You can see the original method syntax for Component Pascal here, http://www.oberon.ch/pdf/CP-Lang.pdf, section 10.2.
