Group Buys and Preorders / Re: [GB] Alyssia - A thin bezel, dual mount Alice-style keyboard
« Last post by Patty on Thu, 30 May 2024, 13:31:00 »Update 3
This is a mini update as I'm waiting on photos from DDS on anodized units, but DDS said they've begun anodizing the Alyssias!
I've also completed packing and shipping to Sneakbox some of the smaller stuff like screwdrivers, o-rings, cleaning cloths, etc
We're almost at the endgame! I personally can't wait to get the photos of anodized units haha

KeyCon 2025 / Re: Keycon 2025
« Last post by Shell058 on Thu, 30 May 2024, 12:55:29 »I'm certainly not opposed to KeyCon growing and changing, or to it being organized by NK. I don't think they're on a power trip, but I do think they may not understand how important the "community voted location" was to many of us. Even if the list of options was curated by the organizer, even if the option I personally voted for didn't win, whichever platform the votes came from, being able to have input and know that the location was chosen by a majority of the community made it feel worth attending.
The way I see it, the reason the event has been able to consistently draw vendors and "people from earlier in the hobby" is because we were able to vote on locations and/or dates that worked for our personal lives. It's much easier to swing a long weekend a few states away than it is to plan, pay for, and take time off to travel internationally.
I understand that this same argument could be made by those who live outside the US, and again perhaps there could be an EU/US KeyCon, but the important part is the "getting community input" and I think that's where a lot of us are feeling like this is not the same event. As I recall, SLC was chosen as the location because "it's NK's first year and we want it to be easier logistically" which was perfectly reasonable, and the announcement post for KeyCon 2024 even states "If all goes well, we would love to bring back location voting in some aspect."
I appreciate all of the work that has been put in to every KeyCon over the years, and I would love to see it continue to grow with the community. No location or date is going to work for everyone, but if what makes KeyCon is all of us attending, it would certainly seem prudent to ensure that as many of us as possible are able to attend.

I thought that's what this was at first. Whether hacking by geeks or waifus, still a nice set.
