In order to make sure we don't get our Christmas gifts way after Christmas, I post this thread to get an earlier start than usual.

Please post here if you want to participate. Deadline should be November 1 2015.

The mapping will be generated in a collaborate effort by The Keyboard Oracle and 7bot.

Submission of addresses will only be necessary if you moved or are a new customer.

Opening of packages at 24/25th December only!* **

-------------------
*) People who celebrate Sinterklaas, on 5/6th December

**) People who still use the Julian calendar, on 7th January, Gregorian calendar.

ps:
Only members that joined Deskthority before October 3rd, 2015 are eligible to join. If you registered after that date, but already contributed something to the community, you may allowed to participate.

I'll be abroad this winter. When's the shipping deadline? As opposed to the joining deadline…

Or, as I'll be in America, I guess shipping might be cheaper (for me) while I'm there. I could offer a choice of addresses I guess. Hmm…

7bit · 04 Oct 2015, 18:43

Right after the deadline (there will be no rolling!!) you will get a message from the bot.

I think 7 December should be latest for international shippings (even within Europe), to make sure the packages arrive in time.

Halvar · 04 Oct 2015, 19:29

I'm in!

Yeah I'll take part!

I'll join in as well.

I always feel guilty entering this because some poor bugger is going to have to pay shipping to AUS

Compgeke · 05 Oct 2015, 01:55

There's always the option of finding something for sale in the recipient's country and just buying that way. Ends up far cheaper than paying international shipping

Unless you're the poor bastard who has to ship to Britain!

Sign me up. Someone lucky will get something very nice out of this.

matt3o · 05 Oct 2015, 08:01

This will be fun again, I'm in.

andrewjoy · 05 Oct 2015, 11:00

There was something i was going to put in the surprise box but now i may save it for this! There is also something on ebay i may buy to stick in as its an amazing keyboard for what it is.

hypkx · 05 Oct 2015, 15:42

I am in.

XMIT · 05 Oct 2015, 15:50

7bit: any recommendations on, e.g., size of item, price, etc.? It would be good to have a guideline of what is perhaps "too much" and what is perhaps a good exchange.

From last year:

I'm quite sure you have some cool things you can give away!

I assume this still applies unless I hear otherwise.

XMIT · 05 Oct 2015, 15:54

...and I've gone through last year's photo thread:

http://deskthority.net/off-topic-f10/de ... t9266.html

This should be fun, I'll have something to look forward to. I've got some nice ideas for things I might send. The clues are all hiding in plain sight.

jou · 05 Oct 2015, 18:02

I'll join, too!

chzel · 05 Oct 2015, 18:04

Count me in as well!

Muirium · 05 Oct 2015, 18:06

So is the drawing on December 1st? I can handle that.

andrewjoy · 05 Oct 2015, 18:10

Don't forget if you naughty santa will tell me and you get a mystery board from my pile.

Ah, my old favourites! The boards that drove me to mechs in the first place.

scottc · 05 Oct 2015, 18:21

There doesn't look to be much mystery there, andrewjoy... just a whole lot of disappointment. :p

andrewjoy · 05 Oct 2015, 18:22

i have upgraded them now ( upgraded in massive massive air quotes)

I wonder if matias would do me a set of 12 quite pros for a decent price

I could promote them among all the arty farty mac fan boys we have here

we could have gone matias keyboards but i spent the money on a decked out MBP for myself
