# Scottish Technology Club Bulletin — Week 3, 2025

Technology events seem to be restarting after the New Year break, with events in Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh and online. I'll be hosting
[GlasgowJS](https://www.meetup.com/glasgow-javascript/events/305070788) this Tuesday, hearing from Daniel Roe on font optimisation. [Python Glasgow](https://www.meetup.com/python-glasgow/events/305536125)
is also making a comeback this Thursday.

Looking further ahead, Mike has posted two events next week for Rust and Friends Edinburgh: a [pub evening](https://www.meetup.com/rust-and-friends/events/304110936) on Tuesday and [daytime coffee](https://www.meetup.com/rust-and-friends/events/305204279) on Friday. Mike posted in the discord, saying:

> I'm trying to do a mix of night-time pub and daytime coffee events that cater for different peoples preferences (not everyone wants to go the pub, especially in January);

It's been a bit of a quiet week for content with just two blog posts that I could find: Olly wrote about [moving from AWS S3 to Cloudflare R2 for Active Storage](https://headey.net/moving-from-aws-s3-to-cloudflare-r2-for-active-storage) and Michael wrote about [tech startup trends for 2025](https://addjam.com/blog/2025-01-06/tech-startup-trends-2025/) on the AddJam blog. If you have set up a blog or video channel for tech related content then let me know!
