UPDATED: This thread is now about the October 21, 2017 meetup. See posts at the end.
There has been some interest in an Ottawa-area meetup (Ontario, Canada).
I'm thinking a weekend or evening in February would work best.
Location to be determined.
Let's figure out who might be interested and what date/time works best.
People may be interested in coming up from Montreal, too, so some kind of carpooling arrangement could be made if that's the case.
I can bring boards from what's in my signature, if there are any special requests.
-
I'll be bringing my VE.A and can help drive people.
We can also use it as an opportunity to decide how carpooling/travel could work for the Toronto meet-up on February 18th, which I'm helping organize some parts of as well!
-
Damn, wishing I had sprung for the enhanced license now. Only an 8 hour drive for me.
-
Why don't we do February the 4th? It's two weeks out from the Toronto meetup so people don't get overwhelmed with constant keyboard related events?

Hmm.. well, depending on how many people are interested, perhaps we'd be better off just carpooling down to Toronto for that meetup instead.
I suppose this is a bit of an interest check. :cool:
-
Hey guys, I'm also in Ottawa and am interested in the idea of a meetup! My colleague, who's also a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, said he'd be interested as well.
I have two very little kids at home, so things are busy these days and I don't make it out to too many social events. But if you guys go ahead and plan something, definitely keep me in the loop, and I'll do my best to make it out.

Is there a particular day of the week that works best for you? I understand being a parent is a full time job but the rest of us are all pretty schedule-wise flexible, so you can really recommend what works for you and we'll work around that!

That's really good of you to accommodate! Generally, evenings after the kids have gone to bed (usually after about 8:30pm) are best. But these days, it's hard to commit to much in the way of social plans no matter when they are. I'd encourage you guys to plan something that's convenient for you. I'll probably have to make a last minute decision either way. If I end up not making it to this one, hopefully I'd make it to the next one :)
I think my colleague is a little more flexible, and he also mentioned he's got a buddy from Kingston who might come up if there's an Ottawa get-together. I'll try to get those guys on here so they can weigh in as well!
-
In which case since there's at least one person in this thread that cannot make it to Toronto (and colleagues), we should try and have an Ottawa thing. Middle of the week probably a better idea than weekend so people can spend their free time with their families. How about the first Thursday of February from 730-930pm?
-
I'm jmdaly's colleague that he spoke of. Thursday, February 2nd works for me.

Works for me. We need to figure out where to meet.

TP, you're not from ottawa are you :thinking:
-
It's looking good that I'll be able to make it out at least for part of the meet-up. Have you guys thought of a location at all? Depending on what part of town everyone's in, one thought I had was Pub Italia on Preston St. It's got a great beer selection, and it's never too loud.
-
Agreed about Pub Italia, they even have the nice spots on the back-side of the restaurant that are really private.
I'll call them tonight and see if I can make a reservation. I'll ask for 7 for now (I might bring a friend).

Sounds great! I'll aim to be there by about 8:30pm (after the kids are in bed :) )
-
Alright reservation for 7 people starting at 7:30 under the name John Girgis at their "confessional" table has been made. See you all there. :)
-
Should work for me.
Any special requests for boards?
Might be a bit strange bringing them in to a pub :p

If you're up for bringing your HHKB out, I've been wanting to try out a Topre board for a while now.

I'll be sure to bring a 'Spill hazard' sign. :P
I'd still like to try the Monterey Blue Alps. But if that becomes to much to carry, you can just bring the HHKB. My friend is bringing his novatouch so you'll be able to compare, jmdaly!
And I forget who (either altis or kiwi), but someone said they'd like to try vintage blacks, so I've swapped around my VE.A from MOD-H's to Vintage Blacks.
-
So what day is this happening exactly? I may be able to drive down from Montreal if it's during the weekend.

Sorry s0nia, it's happening two nights from now on Thursday. :(
-
I'm rather new to the hobby so I'm just hoping to try out as many boards / keycaps / switches as I can, and ask questions. I want to figure out what I like.
-
Hi guys,
I'll do my best to be there. I have a WhiteFox that is still un-built with 65gr Zealios - I guess now I have an intense excuse to actually build it! I'll also try and bring some cool artisans (a couple otterophiles, a Fugu, a bunch of SUK Snappers, some KeyForge caps) and keysets or something. Hopefully GMK Hydro will be here by then. Also have a switch tester with some Cherrys and Gaterons.
I'll check if my roommate is available too, as he is quite into it as well. I also have a DCS set, an SA set, a GMK/Cherry set, and a flat OEM set (just the silly typewriter caps) if people have interest in trying different profiles out?
So is there an exact date for this? Is it February 9th or February 16th?
Damn. Looks like it's tomorrow. Not sure I can do it. Have fun though guys.

Come out anyway? :)
You don't have to bring anything, just the hangout and discussion themselves could be way cool.

I think the correct answer will be 'Topre' :P But please join! The reservation is for 7 but the table seats more! I was quoted 8, and not all of us are going to be there the whole time, so feel free to show up and try things out!
-
Totally didn't realize this was tomorrow, I should be able to make it though.
I have a midterm in the morning and an assignment I can knock out tonight to make time for it tomorrow. I'll try to be there around 7:30-8ish depending on transit.
I will bring my alps clueboard, hhkb and maybe my tkl. I'll also try to bring my camera to take some pics :)
Should work for me.

I've never tried 55g topre, would like to if possible but if the RF is too big I wouldn't mind trying out your rf 23u :)

I can't unfortunately. My roomie works evenings so he has to request nights off in advance, and I have plans with some friends and the gf. :( Hope you guys have a ton of fun, definitely disappointed that I missed this opportunity.
-
Hey everyone, I'm looking forward to meeting up tonight. I'm thinking I'll be there a little later - maybe between 8:30pm and 8:40pm, once the kids are down.
-
I'm stuck at work out of town. I'm not sure yet when I'll be back but I'll update you guys.
-
Someone should have bumped the last Montreal meetup thread :(
Enjoy, hope it's a good one :thumb:
-
I should make it at right about the right time with my friend.
We'll be patient. See you all when I see you.

I'm sure this won't be the last time we all hang!

Will do next time! Sorry it slipped my mind this time, but it kind of snowballed from three people meeting to a few more!

Waiting for you guys to show up is like waiting for a group buy to ship. Constant delays!!
-
You were all really cool people and I'm glad we all had a wonderful night hanging out together! My post up there was a joke I promise and I can't wait until our next meeting when we will all have built new things!
-
Just got back from work now (ended up in Kingston). Really bummed I missed out. :(
Next meet I'll do a little give-away... maybe 65g Zealios switches, or keycaps.
-
Hey guys, just wanted to say it was great to get together last night and I really enjoyed meeting everyone! Thanks to clappingcactus for organizing. Will look forward to the next one!
-
I'm sorry I missed this!
I'll be watching for the next meetup. I have some new toys to share too.
-
So, do we want to try and stage another one of these to see what everyone has been working on (and include the people who missed out last time)? :)

Sure, let's figure out a time and place and we'll have a meetup.
-
I'm definitely up for another meetup! My collection has grown a fair bit since the last one :)
-
Let's say mid-October? This gives us enough time to get the word out and make sure that if someone wanted to come down from Montreal they wouldn't have any conflicting exams or such at the time?
-
Mid-October sounds good to me! I'm busy the evening of Oct. 13th, but otherwise am open from then on.

The week of October 23-27 is reading week in Ottawa.
-
How about October 20th? That way if someone is traveling they don't miss out? Or the 21st if we expect people from MTL to try and make it?
-
Both October 20th and the 21st work for me. I mentioned it to kamek, who came out last time, and he's interested as well.
-
I can make time for just about any day. I might have some stuff to show off by October too!
-
Let's plan for October 20th.
I can see if we can use a space at Carleton if there are many of us.

That date works well for me, and finding a spot at Carleton is a great idea.
Should we post over on /r/mechanicalkeyboards on reddit to see if there might be some more Ottawa people over there who would be interested in joining?

Should we change the tentative date to October 21, the Saturday?
Might make it easier for anyone to travel from out of town, based on the Reddit post.

Agreed, October 21st will allow for more flexibility.

Works for me!

Alright, I'm bringing two keyboards. A Realforce 89U JIS with BKE domes and Silence-X Rings and a Realforce 87U 10th with 55g domes and purple silent sliders. That way people can sample Topre in off-the-beaten-path flavors.
-
Nice! I'll bring a MiniVan with 65g Zealios, and a GH60 Satan with 72g Jailhouse Blues.

I can bring a JIS 30g Topre 108UH, 45g 87U, and HHKB to round out the Topre field.
Can also bring Blue Alps and anything else people request from my sig.
-
Blue Alps would be killer (I don't know the differences between regular and monterey ... but whichever is nicer? haha)!

Could bring Monterey as well, though that board no longer has a case so it's officially in the "project" category. :-X

Very cool. I haven't had a chance to see much in the way of Alps in person, so that would definitely be interesting.
Does it still look good for you to be able to get some space at Carleton? Once we have a location confirmed, I'll post back over on reddit and see if we can get some of that gang out as well.

Trying to find the correct person to ask. I was hoping to even get the room we use for maker-space stuff there as it'd be well-suited for us.
-
Alright. I've just made sure that I'm bringing something very special from the topre world to the meetup. But that's all. I don't think my wallet can handle any more topre purchases this year haha.
-
We're coming up on the end of this week. We should nail down the location this week I would think before the final round of reddit posts/notifications starts going out to people? :O
Worst case scenario we can ask The Blurry Pixel?
Also, my friend who came last time will come this time again and bring something new he built in the interim.

Good call. Altis, how's it going on getting space at Carleton? I'd never heard of The Blurry Pixel, but that definitely looks like a cool alternate location! My friend who came last time may also join as well, but he's still unsure about his availability.
-
Hey guys I just joined from reddit. I will not be able to make a meet this Saturday as I am reffing all day. If we were willing tom have another meet in Feb I would probably me able to make that. If anyone is down for that I would more than excited and willing to join in! Have fun this Saturday and we can talk a later meetup after this one concludes.

Hey, too bad you'll miss it, but I'm sure we can organize another one in the New Year! It would be fun to get something like this going a couple of times a year.

i want to join this time around very badly, I have been hoping for an event like this to come to Ottawa since I bought my first mech last winter. Maybe its best I miss this one as in Feb I will have my tada68 to bring with me. Looking forward to joining you guys next time around. Ill be looking at the reddit pics from the meet in serious envy.

So, basically after getting run around, the closest thing to an answer is that no, they don't really like hosting events on campus unless it's some kind of official thing. :(
The Blurry Pixel is a pretty fun little place downtown. They might be into that sort of thing, but I'm not sure how crowded it might be since it isn't all that big.

I already messaged TBP yesterday. They haven't responded yet. If I don't get a response by about 6-7pm tonight, I'll just drop by and ask them what's up.
Otherwise, any other ideas?

Tomorrow? As in Sunday? Been keeping an eye on this thread for a while but I'm confused, when are we actually meeting?
BTW all I have currently is a cheap Outemu Blue board and my Mitsumi, which I think I'll bring. I'd love if someone could bring buckling springs though, I've been eager to try them out.

I'm pretty sure it's today, Saturday, at 2pm. Hoping to make it, but may be a few minutes late.

Oh jeez, talk about short notice lol. Well I might be a little late as I had some errands to run today and I still need to go home and pick up my keeb. Let's hope I'm able to make it out though! :)

Have fun, be safe!
Hope to make it to the next time there is a meet up.

Just left the house, I'll probably be a little early.

That's rough man, hope midterms went well. For the next one, let's try to establish a location and time well in advance. That should help ensure that everyone can make it out.

Thanks. I wasn't supposed to have them but 4 midterms in 3 days created a conflict for people so they made two of them on the Saturday instead.
I was sure someone said 6pm ish somewhere. :(

So how did the meet go? Should we start planning for February meet? Tbp again?
-
Ah forgot to post an update!
It went really well! I feel everyone enjoyed it and learnt at least a few new things.
Yes, we should meet again and February to allow Altis, jmdaly's friend, you, thegreaticedrake and halverson to make it out. Also to allow 27 to bring his new kustom.
I forgot to take my camera (I was coming off a pretty hectic week), but here's a gallery of everything everyone brought: https://imgur.com/a/Z19AK

I forgot to take my camera (I was coming off a pretty hectic week), but here's a gallery of everything everyone brought: https://imgur.com/a/Z19AK
Oh cool! I was waiting for you to post the pictures you took! I ought to bring my camera out to the next meetup too. :)
btw, my main keeb right now is an Aitalk Z-88, it's just one of those cheap Chinese boards, and goes by different names depending on who licenses it out. However, it has N-Key Rollover, RGB backlighting, doubleshot keycaps, and Outemu Blue Switches which are plate mounted and replaceable. A good value for the $60 I paid for it :)

Ah forgot to post an update!
It went really well! I feel everyone enjoyed it and learnt at least a few new things.
Yes, we should meet again and February to allow Altis, jmdaly's friend, you, thegreaticedrake and halverson to make it out. Also to allow 27 to bring his new kustom.

Agreed! It was a lot of fun, and I think the location worked really well too. Thanks for sharing the pics! We definitely had a neat collection of boards.

Hey that looks like it was a great time! I can't wait to join the next meet. Was it everyone's first time meeting from the area? How was the venue?

Any talk of a February meetup?
I've been lurking, but I'm keen to collaborate and enjoy some keeb-spotting.

I don't think there's been any talk since the last meetup, but it would be great to organize one. Might be good to try for nearer to the end of the month to allow for enough time to plan and settle on a location.

So, I'm trying to coordinate this thread and the Canadian mechanical keyboard discord. After yesterday's Mini-meetup and recieving a decent amount of interest for a mid sized meetup, maybe late fall/early winter?

Count me in for sure!
