May the fourth be with you
I couldn't resist to be geeky! And it's officially summer and I hope everyone had a great bank holiday weekend! Things are still not quite what they use to be, but it's getting better.

🪚We are still working on the following that we mentioned in last couple of months:-
- WIP: Tackle interviews (especially technical ones) process by companies by giving support to both interviewers and those who are applying for jobs. There must be a better way! 💡
- Ongoing: Continue to make events and content inclusive and diverse by encouraging others to participate and support them on this journey. 🤝

Last year, we wanted to try and make Coding Grace sustainable, our largest expense is our accountant each year. We are happy to continue using Open Collective and we are open to donations from individuals and corporates. We are not-for-profit and it's wholly volunteer-based running it. |
🆕 Did you know that we have set up a page on Github Sponsors?
You can read about it if you are curious on how this platform supports the open source community (projects, organisations like ours, etc) via github.com/sponsors. |
|
❤️Huge thanks to our supporters who contributed to our Open Collective fund to date. Every little counts as we really appreciate it.
Each month we want to thank all those who donated, see screenshot below of our supporters via opencollective.com/coding-grace.

💪 I've been keeping a live list of virtual tech events with focus on Irish-hosted events. It's been very, very time consuming, and that also includes 100s of link checking per newsletter each month. 😓
💡 Therefore I've finally made a site that curates these events, and you can find all of April's events at this site. The site is an 11ty site (Nunjucks and TailwindCSS) and deployed via netlify. There's nothing fancy about it, it lists tech events and diversity in tech events around Ireland and Northern Ireland.
🌈 If you want to add an event, you can submit a PR or or an issue on github, Or you can email me at contact@codinggrace.com.
🙃 I'm going to try something different this month and not list the events here as I keep missing events that are announced after the newsletter.
👇I will however keep the list of diversity in tech events.
