It’s a busy week in Scottish Technology meetups. I’ll be hosting EdinburghJS on Tuesday, and Rust and Friends heads for Glasgow on Thursday: a daytime coffee meetup and an evening pub meetup.

It’s been three years since I started publishing this bulletin. I started it as a way to aggregate interesting tech events and bring the GlasgowJS and EdinburghJS communities together. I’m glad that several other meetups have now found use in our community Discord server, and I hope that folks are encouraged and interested by the links I share to blogs and vlogs from tech people living in Scotland. You can learn lots online from people across the globe, but I think in-person meetups supported by online content are the real way to foster community that can support and grow opportunities. Hopefully you find use in the bulletin - please do let me know if you do, or if you have any ideas for what you want to see in the coming year.
