collective burnings of copies of deus ex mankind divided

[Dreamre]

I'll hopefully have my KMAC Mini and JD45 by then so I can bring those!

On an on-topic in an off-topic thread.

Does ANYONE have extra Blue/Clear/Anything Tactile switches around? I'm willing to buy around 50 (I just don't want to wait for shipping online).

I have about 87 of them, but they're in an older housing. I swapped housings with ones from my vintage blacks, so the click is a lot softer.

On topic-

If I bring my KMAC2, but I'm extremely picky about people touching and whatnot...what do I do?! My keyboard is like mint mint LOL.

Simple, you give me the PCB.

[Halverson]

If anyone knows of something I have they wanna see/try, lemme know!

[Dreamre]

Simple, you give me the PCB.

All my KMAC PCBs are gone. I do have one GON PCB left, but I'm saving that when I acquire my second KMAC2  ).

You have a Flickr or something?
I don't see anything in your Sig or recall you making a thread of your stuff.

Nope, I have nothing of the sort. I can't recall the last time I actually posted stuff I own. I'll wait a bit and see if anyone is looking for something that no one else is bringing.

[FrostyToast]

Well I'm going to compile a list of things I would like to try
-any kind of ALPS
-beamspring
-microswitch
-Hall effect
-pretty much any hard to find switch out there really
-type s topre

I think that's it for things I want to try out. We should gather up a list of things that are being brought.

[ttzhou]

all your cool stuff is making me feel inadequate... i have such vanilla boards 

[Dreamre]

Can I bring my keyboard and put a cover on top that says pls no touch pls? LOLS

[Sifo]

Lock it up in one of those glass display cases.

[FrostyToast]

Lock it up in one of those glass display cases.

Oh! I get a complimentary glass display case with a kmac 2?

Soooooooo it's been another week or so, the votes seems to have settled on:

June - 1
July - 2
Either - 9

Should we declare July as the winner?  Even though it's only won by 1 vote?

How does Saturday July 11 sound for everyone?  I figure I need to start putting some dates down otherwise we'll never reach a conclusion. 

Again this is not set in stone, if you still have any concern please speak up then I can shift the date.

As for adrl I'm sorry that I understand you can only do September.

But I was checking the availability log, and it seems like a few of us are busy on September also on top of it September just seem soooooooooo far away LOL.

I feel like June/July is still a reasonable date and we don't have to wait toooooo long.

So what do you guys think?

[FrostyToast]

Let's go with July 11.
Sooner we get a solid date the better.

I'm good with July 11th

[Halverson]

Ok let's do it!

[ttzhou]

Perfect! Gives me enough time for the GMKs to come in.

I still say we do a geekhack section at WCS  )

[Sifo]

Sure thing

[trigun0x2]

Sounds good to me!

Does anyone have any SS profile keycaps to try out?

[Hyde]

Okay let me run it with Noko to be on the safe side, otherwise I think we're good. 

[Dreamre]

Looks good to me.

[retainerbox]

If Massdrop doesn't massively screw up, I can bring a new Pok3r to the meetup.

[o3okevin]

Just found this thread... where do I sign up?

[Hyde]

Just found this thread... where do I sign up?

First you have to travel to the smouldering volcano in New Zealand where the ring is disposed of.

Then inside the volcano look to your right there will be a board that says "Toronto Meet 2015 Sign Up Here".



















































That or I'll just put your name down and you're signed up. 

[Novus]

Elves get a free pass though.

But what happens to the ring??

Sounds good though, throw my name on that list like jelly on a sandwich!

p.s. I'll be in school so put a (maybe) just in case lol

[Hyde]

lol ok cool, I think maybe 2 weeks before the event I'll do a final head count to see who's actually coming and see if anyone need rides.

[retainerbox]

I'm guessing we don't have a place because we're >15 people right now?

[Halverson]

I'm guessing we don't have a place because we're >15 people right now?

Was that too many for noko's place?

Hyde, have you tried to contact Matias?

[Hyde]

I'm guessing we don't have a place because we're >15 people right now?

Hyde, have you tried to contact Matias?

I'm trying to talk to Noko to see if we should still do it at his place or find an alternative.  Because even though it's bigger than 15 now but a lot are pending, so not everyone will show up.

I'll do a proper number count when we're closer to the date and I might start looking at alternatives just in case.

And no I haven't contact them yet since I think Matias only do weekdays and weekend probably works better for everyone?

Unless people can do weekdays like book 1 day off work or something then I can contact them.

Though I was thinking if we should invite them to our meet if we end up doing at our location. 

What do you guys think?

Yea let's just toss them an invitation to come hang out.

[FrostyToast]

I would love to have guys from Matias come over.
I wonder what they have in their vintage ALPS collection...

lol yeah I think I'll send them a message to come chill with us. 

[Hyde]

Okay I've got the OK from Noko, also I left Matias a message let's see what they say haha.

At the moment I'm thinking we can meet up at 2:00 pm this way we can geek out for a few hours then afterwards we can all have dinner/drinks after. 

What do you guys think?

[Sifo]

good with me

[Halverson]

good with me

Yeeeee party time

[Matias]

This sounds really great.  We'll definitely be there -- and bring new stuff to try. 

We may even have our new keycap tooling done by then.

Halverson, steal some samples for me bro

BREAKING NEWS !!!

Hey guys as you've noticed so that Edgar and Steve from Matias will be joining us (yayyyyy)!!!!

They also offer their new warehouse as another option for us to host the meet up. 

As I've mentioned in the previous post that Noko gave us the green light on using his place too, and both are great choices.

In a perfect world I'd like to visit both places but I think that would be too much travel in one day.

Noko's place is by Dundas West station (Bloor W and Dundas W) so it's easier accessible to subway, also we get to see leather LOL.  I'm guessing the new Matias warehouse can accommodate a bigger group and they also have a customer showroom, but it's located at Aurora (between Toronto and Newmarket) so we'd have to arrange carpool.

Does anyone have any opinion/preference regarding this matter?

Again I really appreciate both parties on their generous offer.  You guys rock!

I'd prefer Dundas West due to subway ease but I'm cool with Aurora as well. I might be able to carpool in that case, but I'll wait for a definite venue first.

[Dreamre]

I'd prefer Aurora. Would be easier for me to commute there than go Downtown.

[elton5354]

If there's easy access to free parking (doubt it) then Nok's location is fine. Unless his place has a lot.

[Hyde]

I've talked to Sifo and Halverson so far they have no preference.

I've also sent Noko a message to see what his opinion about this.

Otherwise so far the tally is pretty even lol. 

[user 18]

Aurora is an easier drive for me, but either way works

[Halverson]

Meet up in aurora, after party at noko's?

[FrostyToast]

Meet up in aurora, after party at noko's?

If we can pull that off it would be amazing.

[trigun0x2]

I'd prefer Aurora as well. If anyone needs a ride, from a Yorkmills, let me know.
