This might be a good place to start.
-
Are you the one planning this?
-
Definitely interested. It's easy for me to get to NYC.
-
I will need money for a ticket, but I'd love to be able to make it. :thumb:
-
I have a number of friends in the city, so if people are gracious guests I might be able to get a couple people places to stay.
If the meetup is after summer though I'll be in Germany and unable to attend.

It's okay, we didn't believe you anyway.

I'd love to make it out to another NYC meetup
-
I'm in!
-
Word up. I'll have to reach out to a few people to try and get a decent space.
Would people rather it be in Manhattan or outside of it? I know travelling in and staying in the city for those not already in it is a major PITA.
-
Depending on the date (not September) I'm in!
-
i have family and friends in the city... i could be in depending on dates.
-
Well do you guys have any suggested dates? Given that we are just starting the planning phase, I'm thinking this won't happen for another 2-3 months. I could just wait and do it sometime mid June after the school year is over? Also idk when colleges are on break...that might factor in as well.
Please don't be shy to tell me when you would like this to happen.
-
I can almost certainly be there.
Ellipse was planning an NYC meetup as well to test out the Model F replica prototypes – possibly worth combining these.

Awesome. I'll have to reach out. Thanks for the tip.
-
As long as I have advanced notice, any weekend should be fine. Late may-early june might be a good time, before the summer social calendar gets in full swing.
-
I can help organize as well . Was trying to garner interest on r/MK and also posted a thread earlier in the year on here... But glad to see some support.
My vote is for manhattan as well.

DO NOT plan around me, but my opinion FWIW is that I prefer later than sooner, so I can ensure funding. End of summer or so. But again, DO NOT plan around me. :thumb:

For those interested in trying out the F62/F77 Model F keyboards in person as well as attend a general meetup and try out everyone's keyboards: I hope to hold a Manhattan meetup some time this month for those wanting to get in before the early bird round ends on 2/29 for the Brand New Model F Kishsaver / Industrial F77 project.
I spoke to some local forum members and they seem to think picking a Thursday evening might be a good idea. So how about Thursday 2/11, 2/18, or 2/25 in Manhattan? Does anyone work at a startup in Manhattan or some place where we could use a conference room in the evening? Or we could consider one of those privately owned indoor public spaces in Manhattan (not all of these are indoors so you have to check the photos): http://apops.mas.org/
I'd also be up for a second meeting in May/June just before the end of the regular round on June 30.

I was thinking August, personally.
One sooner might be difficult for me to be involved in.
-
Anytime after the end of May and I might not be able to make it depending on if I get a job and the possible location of said job.

So my only problem right now is that the farther into the year we go, the less I know if I'll still be working in NYC which makes it harder for me to be involved with planning. However I will get the ball rolling because if I can at least secure a place then someone else can easily take the reins from there.

I'm totally down to come out to one of these meets to check out the new Fs and that'll give me an opportunity to meet some of the locals and hopefully make some contacts. Definitely keep me/us updated!

I'd be cool with doing that.

Let me see what I can do, I might have a lead. I'll keep you posted!
-
I'm good any time after mid may.
-
I'll be in nyc at the beginning of March for class if anyone wants to do a meet up :) just the 5-7 though
-
So we need to get the ball rolling on this. If no one has a venue and we get a crowd we may need to rent out a hotel conference room. So that means people prepaying an admission fee to cover the room cost.
-
Really depends on the date and where I end up with a future job.
-
I'd be fine with chipping in for a venue.
-
I'm only interested if Bloomberg shows up with vintage Bloomberg terminal keyboards.

Yo. I have a short list of venues that im working on reaching out. I just started working in NY full time as of this week so I'll have a little more time to find places in the next coming weeks. If you have any suggestions let me know. I'm really trying to avoid anyone having to put money down.
-
No need to pay for a venue in Manhattan - take a look at the indoor Privately Owned Public Spaces that are free and require no reservations for groups.
