I think you mean this is a "discreet" poll, not a "discrete" one.

Voted. In May I almost certainly won't be able to make the Philly event. SF is more of a possibility. Austin is of course home.

I'm really hoping we aim for either early May or mid to late June, due to scheduling. Anything from the weekend of May 18th to the weekend of June 3rd is out for me.

If pressed, I could maybe do Philadelphia in late June, if it were on a weekend.

If we're going with Austin we should target late April or early May. By mid June it's quite warm here.

It looks like Philly is in the lead and Austin is trailing.

We do regular keyboard meetups here regardless. Open invite in case anyone wants to venture down here. The next one should be March 11th.

There's a meetup I was trying to plan with Booper for some time in May.  There's a VA location in Maryland sponsored by GH member terrpn. The space is free and has internet, presentation space, and room for as many as we can possibly fit.

I'm pretty sure the location would still be available if we gave them a heads-up.

Hmm, this would require restart of the poll.  How close is it to DC?

I would be down for this too (as long as the date wouldn't be locked down to late May/early June since I couldn't come) but it would require restarting the poll 🤔

Meanwhile I'm getting ready to go meet up with another Austin guy to plan our March 11th keyboard meetup. The last one was pretty big, it attracted about 60 people at Das Keyboard. We had some giveaways, it was a good time.

That's separate from Keycon, so if you're around, come on down! We'll be posting about it in the next week or so.

Yeah I've only got three real hangups with Philly:

1. I don't know if I'll be able to make it at all - May is a busy month and travel can be challenging.
2. I can't show you all the best part of my keyboard collection unless it's local. I can maybe bring one or two boards with me.
3. My recycling facility and vintage keyboard hookups are all here. I can't organize a field trip in Philly.

Other than that, it's a great town, easy to get to, easy to get around in, good food, not super expensive, lots of students. It's how I imagine New York was in like the 1980s.

If it ends up being in Philly and I do end up coming I might be able to work out something special but no promises!

Well after the city is decided we'll be voting on dates and I'm firmly in the "please no not may or first weekend of june" camp. I'm sure we can figure it all out :D

If you're in the Austin area on March 11th check out our next meetup there! More info is posted at: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87713

An Austin hosted Keycon would be basically this event, but maybe longer, and with more people. I think it would be incredible!

Yeah. But we're still doing our meetups here in Austin and everyone is welcome to come down! I don't see any reason for this to have to be an exclusive event.

If you want to do one big thing in Philly and call it Keycon, sure, but our regular meetups in Austin are pretty awesome. There are giveaways, custom key caps for the events, and with Techshop we have a professional photo booth, CNC wood and metal working, a water jet, powder coating, sand blasting, injection molding, soldering stations, laser cutters... everything you need to build a board from scratch!

So again, come down for March 11th (though the airfares are super high due to SXSW, yikes!) and maybe for our next event in the late summer. :D

Thanks for the offer! I'm familiar with Wawa, and I think I've had the raspberry tea. Certainly some sandwiches from there. It's got an odd cult following.

Around here Rudy's has good gas station BBQ and breakfast tacos. Also, we have Buc-ee's, which is just a normal highway rest stop store, but huge.

I was like... Is this something I'm unaware of?

Also we've been ignoring a very important food item: pork roll. Don't sleep on breakfast meats.

XMIT, I think for exactly the reasons you said, that keycon should be in Philly. The northeast is very much like a group of individual city states, and getting people to come out for small regional meetups is like herding cats. You guys have been successful hosting consistent meetups and will continue to do so regardless of "convention" status.

Although we could just go the Penny Arcade Expo route and have "keycon south" :P

Alright, looks like the poll has closed.  Should we start brainstorming dates?  Also, I'd love to hear some ideas on events we can plan for the con time.  We have a volunteer for cap casting demo already, any other ideas?  This will give me an idea of how many rooms i need to reserve, if we need more than one.

Also, early summer in the Northeast is great, good weather, restaurants have their patios setup, etc.

As long as it isn't in July.....

Really looking forward to this, reasonably new to the community so would like to meet some folks.  And Philly isn't too far from the DC area.
