Bulletin 2026 Week 17
Monday April 20th, 2026
Edinburgh Cloud Native Meetup / Aberdeen GitHub Copilot Dev Days
It’s a busy week for Scottish technology. With the election around the corner I want to highlight the National Conversations Hustings on Tech and AI happening this Thursday evening. It’s being run at the Bayes Center in Edinburgh, but if you can’t make it in person then you can tune into the livestream (provided by LiveToAir).
