Rhine-Main/Germany Meetup, October 1st
« on: Mon, 22 August 2016, 09:11:25 »
Hi,

over the last week me and some of my friends were putting together a plan to bring a mechanical keyboard meetup to Germany.
After we got the most basic things sorted out, I'd like to invite you to our meetup!


MECHANICON 2016

Date: October 1st, 2016
Time: 16:00–19:00
Location: ab+zu, Darmstadt, Germany, https://www.qundg.de/ab-und-zu/

This will be our first meetup in Darmstadt! We'll meet in a friendly atmosphere in a cool location to show off and talk about our keyboards.


Do I want this?

Attendance is free! Come over, chat about your hobby, bring your keyboards, try other keyboards, trade/eat/laugh/ :)

There will be free pizza and drinks at fair prices from the venue!


I want this!

We created a Meetup group. Just join us and RSVP for the event, so we know how many people/keyboards to expect:

What's next?

If anybody wants to do a talk or a workshop on a mk-related topic, this would be awesome! PM me.

I will contact some vendors to invite them to our meetup. Maybe we are in luck and someone manages to come around and e.g. gives a talk for us.

Also, I would like to host a giveaway/raffle, if possible.

Any vendors that would like to sponsor the meetup in any way, please contact me! :3


If you have any questions left, comment here or PM me.


Spread the word!

Hey everyone, just wanted to keep you up to date, in case anyone is interested.

With WASD and the Keyboard Company we have our first sponsors supporting us.

And we have our first presentation!

The great folks over at https://wooting.nl will join us on October 1st and give a talk!

They can give us a lot of insights about their new product, analog switches, starting a keyboard/kickstarter company or the real technical side of keyboards.

If you are interested in a specific topic, let me know!

Looks like an international meetup!
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
