Hey all! I've recently been bitten by the keyboard collecting and building bug, and I have a lot to learn. I'd love to set up a meetup and meet other enthusiasts in the Bay Area. Now that many of us are vaccinated, it seems like we could get at least a small handful of people together in the same physical location.

I'd aim for the end of August or early September. Can you all give me a sense of how interested you'd be in this? I can find a location and arrange the details.

Thanks,
Ossa

+1 on this. Would love to join my first ever keyboard meet up!

Sniping · « **Reply #2 on:** Mon, 24 May 2021, 16:15:26 »

small meetups are really what we need more of. the scene has gotten so big here that the meetups have been reduced to large events that are far and few. i might just try to throw something together in the next month or two and just limit it to like 15-20 peeps max. i'd also be in favor of meeting later in aug/sept too.

+1 here, I'm new and would love some new keyboard friends

I might be down for something later in the year as well. Something in the East Bay would be most interesting to me.

Keebs and Coffee in San Jose was awesome the one time I went.

pepsiplease69 · « **Reply #6 on:** Thu, 17 June 2021, 20:13:19 »

I would be interested in an east bay meetup.

HappyB0T · « **Reply #7 on:** Sat, 26 June 2021, 00:06:32 »

I work remotely but job is in SF. Nothing would make me happier than to hop out for a meetup.

acksonJ · « **Reply #8 on:** Sat, 26 June 2021, 01:38:08 »

East bay would be awesome! Can't wait to meet other keeb nerds for the first time since joining the hobby.

JennoKB · « **Reply #9 on:** Tue, 29 June 2021, 00:22:31 »

That would be pretty cool, im in the bay area so id be happy.

DubbTom · « **Reply #10 on:** Tue, 29 June 2021, 01:06:01 »

Would also be interested in a small-medium meetup. Ideally, in San Francisco.

Ossa · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 08 July 2021, 23:18:43 »

Hey all - I haven't forgotten about this. I'll try to secure a venue for some time in August for a small gathering in SF.

aegnogg · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 14 July 2021, 15:44:20 »

Just came across this; sounds like fun!

Still haven't done a meetup since I've taken a nosedive into this hobby, so I'd be down.

Is there a SF discord where we can discuss this meet up?

JennoKB · « **Reply #14 on:** Sat, 17 July 2021, 00:24:31 »

I think this would be great, I’m in the Bay Area. SF would be a nice spot, but anywhere works for me

There's an old meetup discord channel but it's a little dead now.

Not to highjack the thread but it's really been a minute since I've been to a meet so I'd love to put an small impromptu one together. I'm making a new thread in this forum section and arranging a small meet for next week. Hope you don't mind OP and hope to see some of yall there.

If you're talking about the "CA Meetup Discord" it's not dead. It's only super active when there's a meetup soon. If you want to generate interest, that's a great place to post.

If San Jose is on the table I might pop by as well

Life’s too short for San Francisco.

+1 Count me in! I'm only a 20 minute drive from SF so this would be an awesome first meetup to check out!

Empurua · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 31 July 2021, 04:31:20 »

Sounds like a great idea and I would love to go and meet new people! It would also be nice if it's held on Saturday or Sunday.

charlie-1233 · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 03 August 2021, 14:37:04 »

How many people can attend this meetup? I would like to attend, as an enthusiast, I want to know and feel what is considered good in this hobby. Wonder how your boards stack up to mine.

Definitely interested in a Bay Area keeb meetup!

10centNickle · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 05 August 2021, 15:15:01 »

Would definitely come! Always happy to learn more about this community

_rubik · « **Reply #24 on:** Wed, 11 August 2021, 22:54:44 »

I'd certainly come and bring a few boards!

I think the yearly Norcal meetup is in SJ

KeebOnMe · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 11 August 2021, 23:24:54 »

I'm based in Northern NV but would make the drive down if it's on a weekend.

Dizzi · « **Reply #26 on:** Wed, 01 September 2021, 23:39:10 »

Can we get an update on this event? I'd love to participate in something like this! If Ossa isn't planning on hosting it, anyone else up for the task? Let's make it happen

derpturtle · « **Reply #27 on:** Thu, 02 September 2021, 00:44:09 »

Bump! I'd be super down to go to a small local meetup.

HairyBob · « **Reply #28 on:** Thu, 16 September 2021, 18:48:31 »

sounds rad

_rubik · « **Reply #29 on:** Thu, 16 September 2021, 18:58:45 »

Given that Ossa registered their account in May, was last online in July, and has only 2 posts, I'm getting the sense that we'll have to make this happen ourselves.

I personally don't have much experience with organizing meetups, but happy to work with someone who has to get this over the line.

C0M9LEXM1ND · « **Reply #30 on:** Thu, 23 September 2021, 12:22:22 »

Just found this page. I live in SF and work remote. Just started this hobby and would like to meet some folks!

Sniping · « **Reply #31 on:** Sat, 25 September 2021, 16:35:12 »

I can help organize again. I tried putting together a really last minute one over a month ago, but didn't get that much interest. I'll set up something for next month and give some more time for sign ups.

PM me, I started digging into the planning process. Maybe we can share the burden

So down to meet up!

Tomorrow I'm travelling to SF, it'd be great if it happens!!

shima · « **Reply #36 on:** Sun, 10 October 2021, 18:33:31 »

i'd be so down for this

madrone · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 17 November 2021, 23:39:02 »

Throwing my hat in the ring, I'd also love to meet some of you in a small meetup some time.

clackeys · « **Reply #38 on:** Thu, 09 December 2021, 10:15:39 »

+1 Would love to attend this too!

urbanphoenix · « **Reply #39 on:** Sun, 19 December 2021, 16:32:07 »

I would also like for this to happen!

Jarhead · « **Reply #40 on:** Tue, 21 December 2021, 04:13:00 »

It'd be my first meetup, but I'm definitely interested

DubbTom · « **Reply #41 on:** Thu, 20 January 2022, 02:01:20 »

DotMatrix from Charue Design recently hosted a small meetup at their new office in San Jose. It sounds like he's planning on hosting similar events in the near future. Given the progress (or lack thereof) in this thread for setting up a dedicated meetup, a Charue Design organized meetup is likely the best chance for all of us to get together.

+1 very very interested. im completely new and have been looking at different switches for months now. really want to see some switches in person if anyone has keebs they will bring. being very broke means no buying switch testers T-T
