We have a real community of people who regularly attend, and I&apos;m pleased to say, lots of volunteers helping out. The talks will be back in September. I&apos;m hoping to line up events on security, AI coding loops, and what&apos;s new in JavaScript. If any of this sounds like something you&apos;d like to speak about then please do reply to the bulletin!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve organised a summer social for EdinburghJS and Scottish Technology Club folk: &lt;a href=&quot;https://luma.com/stc-summer-social-2026&quot;&gt;Thursday 16th July, 7pm at 56 North&lt;/a&gt;. All folks working in technology are welcome, even if you&apos;ve not been to one of our events before. It&apos;ll be a way to meet fellow technologists and developers in a relaxed and informal setting. If you attend another meetup then please do invite a crowd along!&lt;/p&gt;

I&apos;ll be hosting &lt;a href=&quot;https://luma.com/edinburghjs-june-2026&quot;&gt;EdinburghJS&lt;/a&gt; on Tuesday, and Rust and Friends heads for Glasgow on Thursday: a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.meetup.com/rust-and-friends/events/315093492/&quot;&gt;daytime coffee meetup&lt;/a&gt; and an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.meetup.com/rust-and-friends/events/315093500/&quot;&gt;evening pub meetup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&apos;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&apos;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.&lt;/p&gt;

Publishing this bulletin still involves wrangling markdown files on Github, and I&apos;m doing this via their mobile app. Having to work on mobile has given me some ideas for improving the workflow, which should reduce the time-cost, making the site more maintainable and freeing me to improve other features like the jobs board and city pages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This week Andrew is kindly hosting the &lt;a href=&quot;https://luma.com/glasgowjs-summer-social-2026&quot;&gt;GlasgowJS Social&lt;/a&gt; and I&apos;ll be back the following week to host &lt;a href=&quot;https://luma.com/edinburghjs-june-2026&quot;&gt;EdinburghJS&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
