There are lots of exciting technology events across Scotland this week on JavaScript, testing, Rust, Data & AI and Tech for Inclusion. I am organising EdinburghJS on Tuesday, with Jaime Torrealba speaking and Ljupche hosting. We’ll be live-streaming on the YouTube Channel where you can also view a trailer for the event.

CityJS London (April 23rd-25th) is giving away a ticket to our community. Enter via the online form. I’ll be doing a draw at the end of the week. If you fancy attending anyway, you can get a discount ticket using our promo link.

Surya has launched a video/podcast: Data and AI Conversations and also runs the Aberdeen Data Platform and Cloud User Group (next event on Wednesday!).

This week in content:

• Sarah posted a blog on visualising data with KQL
• Chris investigated problems with his lightbulbs
• Scottish Tech Army posted a webinar on managing tech projects in a remote world
• Gregory vlogged on when OpenStreetMap is wrong
• The Data Lab posted a video on their mentorship programme

Thank you to Duncan McLean, Ian Price, Ljupche Vasilev, Brewnode Dave, Sergio Castillo, Serene Rajkarnikar and Kelsie Murphy who have signed up to our Patreon supporters page. Their support helps us run the two JavaScript meetups, put on additional event and keep the bulletin running!
