The meet up will be taking place at the Living Computer Museum in SODO Seattle. Please know that if you don't RSVP and bring a keyboard, the cost of entry into the museum itself is $12.00. The event will go from 1:30pm to 4:30pm but we also have a few speakers attending who will be doing Q&A panels. You might recognize some of them! The panels will go from 11:00am to 1:00pm and here's the lineup:
Aproximate Start Time | Speaker | Topic
---|---|----
11:00 | /u/BingeCaps | Artisan Keycaps and casting
11:25 | /u/Evangs | Small keyboards and keyboard design
11:50 | /u/jchan94 | Running groupbuys and organizing small-scale manufacturing
12:15 | /u/thebeephaha | Designing for non-enthusiasts and large-scale manufacturing
12:40 | Q&A panel |
Top Clack and MechMerlin are going to be livestreaming and will record the talks for all to watch, but for those who can attend, you should! We will be having giveaways between talks ;)
This meet up will also have our biggest giveaway to date! Check out the list of sponsors: https://ckeys.org/events/smkmeetup/#sponsors
More details about giveaway prizes will be posted in the coming weeks as we get closer to the meet up. Your RSVP is your entry into the giveaway! If you don't RSVP, you won't be entered (so you should bring a keyboard and RSVP). If you need to change your RSVP, you can update it later.
I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

Haha, well if that's the case, I will see what will happen in terms of streaming. I think it will most likely be on Twitch though, not Skype.

TopClack is actually a skype session between the 3 hosts, that is then livestreamed to twitch. We'll be doing something a little similar.
I'll try my best to post the meetup video by Wednesday, July 26th. The talks will probably be posted earlier.

So instead of enjoying the fact that people came together from all sorts of places to enjoy keyboards (which is what we're all here for in the first place), you're going to complain that the picture link is from reddit.
Great sense of community you have there.

The megathread is actually on reddit lol. It's https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/6p1wsy/seattle_meetup_photo_megathread/
Despite jetpacktuxedo's best efforts, it's not as visible as everyone's individual albums. It's actually one of the things I really dislike about reddit and why I prefer GeekHack. Nonetheless, I'm more involved with the keyboard scene here in Seattle primarily due to reddit and the sense of community it has provided. We now have our own slack channel, but a lot of those members were derived from reddit. The first two Seattle meetups were run by my coworker and he was very much involved in GeekHack.
But I guess times change. I do agree with you that it seems people have left GeekHack and "sold out to reddit". From Google Analytics I see that about half my views come from reddit and I actually get very few views from GeekHack. I think people are part of reddit because it reaches a larger audience.

There was time when GH went belly up, DT was generous enough to open us a subforum for GH people to hang out until GH was revived. We come together for what we love. As much as how I don't like to use Reddit, you have to give it to the /r/MK folks for building it out to such a large community. After all, there wouldn't be /r/MK if GH didn't ban certain someone.
Now, how do I down vote DanielT's posts on GH?

Daniel... What is going on? I remember you as a member very concerned with community, friendliness, and integrity. Now when people are sharing experiences across "community lines" (not a fan of divided communities to begin with, but it is what it is), you crap all over them? Seriously? This is disappointing... :| The Seattle crew is incredibly active on reddit, so let's embrace that. We are all one big keyboard family, and the most important thing is that we have a solid group of people supporting each other, regardless of their URL. I mean, come on...
