Bulletin 2026 Week 18
Monday April 27th, 2026
Scottish Tech Election Hustings / Postgres Edinburgh
It’s a busy one this week, with events across Scotland! I’ve published the May and June meetups organised so far for the JavaScript meetups. You’ll find them on our Luma Calendar. Thanks to the folks who are making a donation with their free ticket - that help, plus our Patreon supporters, pays to keep the groups and this bulletin running. I’m still in need of someone to step in to organise the June Meetup for GlasgowJS as I’ll be on holiday. If you want to help then please do give me a shout!
