What we’re about
The Tech Meetup is a monthly excuse for the tech community around Scotland to network, learn and share new ideas! Come along to enjoy informative presentations from your peers, listen to exciting projects in the community and make some new connections.
No specific programming languages, technologies or disciplines are required - we believe you can learn something from anyone! No sales pitches, name badges or commitments either - everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy the free pizza, drinks and talks.
The Tech Meetup is run by volunteers from the tech community in each city/region and is governed by a code of conduct. The event space, food and drinks are all kindly provided by sponsors and supporters of the meetup.

Mastering Fluent Bit: Ultimate Guide to Integrating Telemetry Pipelines with OpenTelemetry
It’s time you stopped letting your telemetry data pressure your budgets and get in the way of solving issues with agility! No more I say! Take back control of your telemetry data as we guide you through the open source project Fluent Bit.
Learn how to manage your telemetry data from source to destination using the pipeline phases covering collection, parsing, aggregation, transformation, and forwarding from any source to any destination. Buckle up for a fun ride as you learn by exploring how telemetry pipelines work, how to set up your first pipeline, and exploring several common use cases that Fluent Bit helps solve as you integrate with OpenTelemetry collectors in your organization.

All are welcome and there is no requirement to have any level of tech knowledge or experience to attend, just a desire to learn. Come along (bring your friends), network and learn something new with us!
To make Glasgow's Tech Meetup welcoming for people joining for the first time we implement the PacMan Rule.
The rule is:
“When standing as a group of people, always leave room for 1 person to join your group.”More memorably, stand like Pac-Man! You can learn more about this here.
