This is the penultimate bulletin of the year, so if you have something to announce to the tech community before the end of the year then please do send it in for the last edition.

There are lots of Christmas Parties over the next few weeks, including the Scottish Technology Club Christmas Social in Edinburgh on 16th, please RSVP via the Meetup event to secure your spot. I’m also holding a planning meeting for the JavaScript meetups online this Tuesday.

There are still many tech meetups happening, including the first meeting of the newly announced Postgres Edinburgh Meetup next week. Great to see yet another technical event launched! RCS are holding a crossover event with Creative Tech Scotland this Thursday in Glasgow, and it’s the last MLOps of the year on Friday.

Folks across Scotland are posting blogs and vlogs on tech topics (if you fancy writing / posting in 2026 and want help getting started, get in touch!):

• James worked on Validate Everything and experimented with web design
• Sarah wrote about Terraform tfvars files
• Nicola blogged about how to Create custom GPS route maps in R
• The Data Lab posted videos on Accessible Data Visualisation in the Age of AI with Jenny Gates and Everybody is Doing Dashboards, So How Can Mine Stand Out?
