About us
English
Welcome to **Leipzig.js** – your laid‑back community for all things JavaScript, TypeScript, and the ever‑growing ecosystem around them. Here, it’s all about learning together, swapping war stories and tips, and having a good time tinkering with code.
What we want to do?
- Host friendly monthly meetups with short or long community‑driven talks, demos and mini‑workshops
- Keep an open mic: anyone can jump up and share a project, ask a question or show a nifty trick
- Dive into all your favorite frameworks and tools – from Angular, Vue, React, Svelte and so on to bundlers like Vite, Rollup, esbuild & beyond
- Explore TypeScript, JSX, **Node.js** and the growing landscape around serverless, edge‑rendering or whatever sparks our curiosity
- Build a network of speakers and contributors: you bring the ideas, we’ll help shape the schedule
Why join us?
- Be part of a supportive, low‑key crew who love geeking out over JS/TS
- Step up as a speaker or workshop host – no need for slide decks, just passion
- Influence the topics and format: this group lives off your talks and contributions
- Get hands‑on help on your next side‑project, hackathon idea or “how-do-I…?” question
- Meet fellow devs in Leipzig (and beyond!) and turn strangers into collaborators
- Whether you’re curious about a new framework, want feedback on your code, or simply enjoy a relaxed evening with like‑minded devs, Leipzig.js is your home turf. Bring your laptop, your questions—and maybe even your own talk! See you at the next meetup.

Leipzig.js #8 (Onsite & Online) - Hands-On Supply Chain Security in npm Projects
Finatix GmbH, Barfußgässchen 12, Leipzig, DE👋 Hello and welcome to the 8th Leipzig.js meetup 🥳!
This time, we’ll have an amazing talk about a topic that has come up very often in recent months: supply chain security in the npm ecosystem. If you’re interested, feel free to join us 🙂
Info: This talk has already been given. Please see this event: https://www.meetup.com/le-software-craft-community/events/313223057/
So it will be more or less the same talk. You’re still welcome to join, but please don’t expect new content compared to the last event.The event is suitable for beginners to intermediate attendees.

### About the talk:
Hardly a week goes by without new headlines about supply chain attacks in the npm ecosystem. These incidents often cause concern and uncertainty, even among experienced teams. The range of possible countermeasures can seem overwhelming, but some steps are straightforward to implement and deliver immediate benefits.
In this session, I will demonstrate, using live examples, how our team significantly improved project security through practical measures: dependency management, version locking, blocking build scripts, hardening our Renovate configuration, and migrating to pnpm. You’ll see which steps had the biggest impact and how you can apply them in your own projects.
Join this session if you want to stay calm when the next npm supply chain attack hits the headlines.
