ProductUp Meetup

• What we'll do

Product Up is an informal pub meetup in Edinburgh dedicated to bringing together the product community in Edinburgh. Whether you are a Product Manager, UX designer, Engineer or work in Sales/BD and you are passionate about creating fantastic products - ProductUp is for you.

We started the meetup whilst working as Product Managers when we realised that there is no informal place to share product war stories, discuss challenges and keep track of all the amazing developments happening in Edinburgh.

We meet monthly and as outlined, it’s a completely informal meet up so the discussions are entirely open. We have no speakers as this is all about you and giving you a chance to meet and talk to everyone in the community.

The meetup is free to attend, so invite your product friends. Come along for the beer, stay for the great product discussions!

• Important to know

We want to create a comfortable and relaxed environment for our attendees so we would appreciate it if you could refrain from directly selling products/services or do recruitment at our events. It's fine if deals/transactions come out naturally from conversations.

China: Asia-Scotland Event of Global Entrepreneurship Week

Another event supported by the League of Entrepreneurs (LoE) in the spirit of Global Entrepreneurship week, although a little without, is an event about the world superpower of China. LoE is a global network of metric-driven, lean methodology-oriented, technology startup professionals who want to learn collaboratively in order to have better ventures that grow and globalize faster. Tonight's event is hosted by the Asia-Scotland Institute Event and entitled "George Magnus - "Red Flags: Why Xi Jinping’s China is in Jeopardy".
What does this mean for the prospects of technology and entrepreneurs who build and sell it?

Please note that the LoE is NOT hosting this event, but rather promoting it as a recommended educational experience for its Edinburgh chapter and wider membership base. Thus, you will need to purchase tickets direclty from the Eventbrite website. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/george-magnus-red-flags-why-xi-jinpings-china-is-in-jeopardy-tickets-51999464799

Below is a description of the event as provided by the website of the Asia Scotland Institute:

(see also http://www.asiascot.com/event/george-magnus-red-flags-xi-jinpings-china-jeopardy/

"George Magnus has occupied a front-row seat as events have challenged governments, economies and financial systems around the world since the Great Financial Crisis in 2008. He is widely credited with having identified the trigger points leading to the crisis and with helping us to understand its lingering consequences.

Once the Chief Economist of UBS, George now works as an independent economist, author and speaker. His views and opinions appear regularly in the written and social media, radio and TV. He is the author of The Age of Aging (2008) which assesses one of our leading contemporary economic and social challenges, and of Uprising: will emerging markets shape or shake the world economy? (2011), which considers the rise of and prospects for emerging markets, especially China.

“Red Flags: Why Xi’s China is in Jeopardy is the latest book from George Magnus. In Red Flags, George considers the threats to China’s continued economic rise, but specifically in the context of the governance system under President Xi Jinping. China, as is well known, has become a large and confident power both at home and abroad, and while its core economic challenges are not unique, they are many, and have gathered at a critical moment in China’s development.”

Join the League of Entrepreneurs this evening and learn more about China and its development. Global Entrepreneurship Week is truly an international event, with entrepreneurs participating from 170 countries and an abundance of events lasting throughout November of 2018. China represents an enormous market opportunity for global entrepreneurs.

Considering the venue, and from experience at past Asia Scotland Institute events, business attire is recommended. Plan to arrive at the Waldorf Astoria in Edinburgh by 5.30pm to get the most from the event, and remember to purchase your tickets in advance.

After the event, the LoE may head to a Christmas get-together hosted by another Edinburgh Meetup Group, which is a friend. The following night, we'll be hosting our own event with a local Edinburgh female investment professional.

The League of Entrepreneurs, a global virtual organization based in Slack that also has face-to-face chapters, is powered by The Startup Race, a virtual global accelerator fostering the creation and traction of new ventures from all over the world.

Abstract

Automatically derive functionality (i.e. typeclasses) for domain objects (i.e. data types) with a novel approach based on the Haskell typeclassopedia. This talk uses Scalaz, is suitable for any lambda inclined developer, and has potential applications to other FP languages. It is an excerpt from https://leanpub.com/fpmortals

Our First Meetup!

Hello everyone,
I created this group to find others like me - people working at tech companies, who want to contribute their skills to good causes. To find a way to bring my knowledge & tools acquired growing a startup to charities and non-profits. And do it in a way that makes a difference to them.
Turns out, such a communities don't really exist anywhere yet. Let use our first meetup to get to know each other, discuss the vision, brainstorm ideas and create something!
Join us in Akva on the 14th of November at 6PM.
See you there!

An Evening of Tech talks at Scott Logic

Join us on Wednesday 21st November for an evening of tech talks at our Edinburgh office when some of our consultants will share their thoughts on current technology trends, how we've adopted them as a business, and they'll give some insights into the solutions that we've provided for clients. The talks will cover Technical Architecture, Software Testing, and Software Development.

Doors will be open at 6:15 with a chance to grab a drink and some pizza before the talks begin at 6:45. Before and after the talks there will be an opportunity to network, meet some of the Scott Logic team and discuss all things tech.

Scott Logic tech events are intended for education, networking, and community. To ensure it is a welcoming, friendly environment all attendees, speakers and volunteers at any Scott Logic event are required to conform to the following Code of Conduct. We will enforce this code throughout our events.

THE QUICK VERSION

Scott Logic is dedicated to providing an inclusive event experience for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, age or religious beliefs. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants or Scott Logic employees in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate at our events, including the content of talks. Participants violating these rules may be asked to leave at the discretion of our event organising team.

THE LESS QUICK VERSION

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, age, or religious beliefs. We do not tolerate sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other Scott Logic events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, the event organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event and any future Scott Logic events. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact one of the Scott Logic organising team immediately.

The Scott Logic organising team will be happy to help participants contact security or police, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of our events. We value your attendance.

This code of conduct is adapted from http://confcodeofconduct.com.
