We run regular virtual events focusing on technology - programming languages and tools, data and databases, servers and hosting, and more. We will usually have a virtual event with a short talk followed by questions. The events will end with some conversation in small breakout rooms so you can get to know the community.
We don't have any future events planned at the moment.
A look back at the first 3 events. Next we'll take a pause, then ask for your feedback.
Welcome to our first 2 events, and a quick history.
Sure! But expect and be tolerant of conversation that is focused on Scottish places, events, groups or people.
We might record the talks but we will not record the community conversation.
The events will be free to attend. Later we may ask for donations or look for sponsorship to cover our costs. Teacake companies are particularly welcome.
On Zoom. It's possible to access in a browser with no installs needed, many people are familiar with it, it has some key features such as breakout rooms and good reliability. (We may research some alternatives later.)
Our events are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), pregnancy and maternity, parental status, and technology choices. Also sexual languages and images, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the event organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event and future events.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact an organiser immediately.
Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy.
