Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a critically-acclaimed best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts. Andreas makes complex subjects accessible and easy to understand. He is known for delivering electric talks that combine economics, psychology, technology, and game theory with current events, personal anecdote, and historical precedent—effortlessly transliterating the complex issues of blockchain technology out of the abstract and into the real world.
In 2014, Antonopoulos authored the groundbreaking book Mastering Bitcoin (O’Reilly Media, 2014), widely considered to be the best technical guide ever written about the technology. His second book, The Internet of Money (Merkle Bloom LLC, 2016)—which explains the technology’s potential impacts on human civilization—is a bestseller on Amazon.
The much-anticipated second volume of The Internet of Money was released in the late fall of 2017 and sold thousands of copies in the first... -

Lean Agile Glasgow is teaming up with Agile Scotland to run a two track event at the JP Morgan community collider.
Both tracks will be based around discussion between attendees, but each will be aimed at a different audience. Track one for those who are new to agile and full of questions about how they can get started. Track two for those more experienced agilists to look into what's next.
Welcome refreshments: 18:00-18:30
Agile tracks: 18:30-20:00
Track 1 (Room 6.3)
How does agile work? - Panel discussion
Ask them anything - a panel of agile experts on hand to answer any question you have about agile. Come armed with your questions - no question is too simple, no question is stupid - remember these experts have been where you are now.
Track 2 (Ground floor breakout area)

As a bonus event for June, we’re participating in JPMorgan’s Meetup Collider!
We’re going to run a Guided Conversation [1] about something tech-related. Guided conversations are a friendly way to have a structured yet lightweight discussion around a topic.
A guide will make sure we stay on track, and offer questions to spark the conversation.
After the conversation ends, all the meetups will get together for lightning talks from each group.
Tickets are required for this event.

For July 2019, Thomas Kluyver will be giving us a rundown of the state of open source smartphones!
When Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, phones completed a journey from appliances to pocket computers. Over three quarters of adults in the UK own a smartphone. But it’s difficult to run free, open source applications and operating systems on your phone, or to get a phone with open hardware and firmware. How open are the big smartphone platforms? What are the various projects aiming to make our phones more open? And what are Purism doing with the $2 million they raised by crowdfunding for the Librem 5?

Agile, punk, community and rebellion.
After Lean Agile Scotland 2017 Mike Hill tweeted, “The agile movement is skilled at rebellion and community”. It was at that moment I realised why I felt at home here.
As someone who played music in the Do-It-Yourself Punk scene of the 1990’s I could see many of the same structures, behaviours and philosophies mirrored in our Agile community. The question in common is, “how do we create something, ethically, with the minimum amount of waste?”
So, if the approaches and human behaviours of a collectiv... -

Swirrl and Scottish Government Talk DATA....
The Scottish Government is making our rich public sector data open for social and economic good. In statistics.gov.scot, we have an open data portal that can be used for free, by anyone and without restriction. It contains a wealth of information that describes our country and how it is changing.
For data experts, this includes API access as standard, to our 5* linked open data. This data infrastructure is used by Official Statistics producers from public bodies across Scotland to disseminate the information that they create. We have committed, in the Open Government Action Plan, to increase the amount of public sector data published as open data, and to make this information easier to find, understand and reuse.
Outline for the talk:
• What the site is
• What's in there
• What the opportunities are for analysts to use it
• Example applications

Avoiding ’banana skins’
Using some simple methods, it's possible to avoid those painful moments where everyone is on the same page - until they're not. Avoiding 'banana skins' is a short talk to help with creating clear direction for, and alignment across, your digital products.
Calum is a Strategist and Product manager and has been inspiring me for years.

Agile, punk, community and rebellion.
After Lean Agile Scotland 2017 Mike Hill tweeted, “The agile movement is skilled at rebellion and community”. It was at that moment I realised why I felt at home here.
As someone who played music in the Do-It-Yourself Punk scene of the 1990’s I could see many of the same structures, behaviours and philosophies mirrored in our Agile community. The question in common is, “how do we create something, ethically, with the minimum amount of waste?”
So, if the approaches and human behaviours of a collectiv... -
Welcoming anyone involved or working in technology.
TechMeetup is a monthly excuse for developers and the tech community around Scotland to meet up and learn new stuff from each other. No name badges, no sales pitches, just informative presentations from your peers and a chance to meet some of the tech community around you.
We're not centred around specific languages, technologies or disciplines; we believe there's stuff to learn from mixing everyone together. There's no cost to attend, and food and drink are provided. -
EdinburghJS is a casual event, presenting short talks and a chance for discussion with other local JavaScripters, whatever your experience or job title is. Our goal is to have an awesome and inclusive community meetup where people meet, hang out together, chat, listen to talks, exchange ideas and make new friends.
We'll be looking for monthly contributors who want to talk about the technologies they're most comfortable with, looking at the pros, cons and unknowns. Drop us a message if you fancy speaking. -
We discuss, demonstrate and debate how to write well-structured, malleable software
We meet on the 3rd Thursday of every month
We are a nomadic meetup: the location (within Glasgow) changes every month. We try to run in office spaces around the city, but occasionally meet in a pub; there is no expectation or pressure to drink alcohol when we do soself. We’ll explain the format (Guided Conversations), and make sure everyone keeps up with the discussion. -
To be decided but will normally be one or more of:
• Short/Lightning Talks
• Agile Game/Workshop
• Lean Coffee - a structured but agenda-less meeting, the participants decide what to discuss using leancoffee.org (leancoffee.org) format. -

This is a joint Scottish Blockchain and Scotland Data Science & Technology Meetup
Title: Towards Anonymization for Learning, Transactions and Credentials Within Distributed Trust Infrastructures
Speakers: Will Abramson, Liam Bell, Bill Buchanan, Adam Hall: Blockpass ID Lab.
Date: Tuesday 27th August 2019 @ 6pm
Outline:
GDPR defines an increased focused on encryption and pseudo-anonymization. But many recent data breaches have shown that organisations often have poor practice when it comes to the anonymisation of personally identifiable information. And so, in future systems, we need to focus on the anonymisation the lowest layers of our data gathering, and then identify methods of revealing the information. But how are we going to apply machine learning into infrastructure which use encrypted data? And how are we going to identify individuals within anonymised infrastructures? And how are we going to be able to regulate for consent, privacy and governance?
