Coding Grace publishes a monthly newsletter at the beginning of each month, all hand curated which includes its own events, workshops as well as conferences, opportunities, call to actions and announcements mainly from the Irish Tech Community. Besides highlighting the Irish hosted events, the newsletter highlights mainly Irish as well as international diversity in tech events.

As with a lot of tech newsletters out there, many things are focussed on happenings in US, UK, Europe and APAC, and I haven't really seen something similar that's regular and consistent besides Startup Digest Dublin (Gene, Stacey and co) collating or crowdsourcing local community events.

As the newsletter is published (via Mailchimp) at the beginning of the month, any announcements for that month after the newsletter has gone out misses the boat. So I normally do a follow up post on any events, announcements, etc. and open to the community to share anything I missed out as well.

In our first post here, let's start with the June newsletter follow up. (Note: The following is a x-post from codinggrace.com)

I've also forgot to add the following to the newsletter from a doc I was using to keep track of events, announcements, etc. 😅

But that's ok, that means I have more cool news to share with you! 🙌

I've added two new groups to the Diversity in Tech groups around Ireland this month. Am I missing any other groups, are some inactive and needed to be moved off? Let me know. - https://code.likeagirl.io/the-diversity-in-tech-community-in-dublin-ireland-vicky-twomey-lee-8b24c50ba188
