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 thanks to CandyKeys! You can meet them at the event! They will be there in person and you can view and buy all the things they have in their shop.

I want this!

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

last meeting looked like great fun guys..
i live in The Netherlands near the coast...hmm dammmm i got my RedHat cert exam around that month..really sucks..
Hope to get my K-type with the new Halo True...
Ahh wel will see if i can make it...if not have fun guys take lot's of picks

[KeepClackingAnd...]

I hope you can make it! Keyboard window shopping at our meetup would be a good way to celebrate that certificate

[kekstee]

Oh, cool. I'll definitely try to be there. Was nice sharing the builds and getting to see some rare stuff first hand last time.

Also really curious how strict that time frame will be. Doors closed if we're early or is there some "set-up time".

[KeepClackingAnd...]

Yes, this is a good point! We plan to "officially" open it at 16:00, but doors probably will be open an hour earlier, so everyone that brings something has enough time to set it up.

Since FFM is my home town I will definitely be there.

I had this crazy idea to put up a little DT corner there and want to call all DT members to unite
Let's coordinate who is bringing which keyboards so we don't bring too many duplicates and cover a nice range!

Maybe seebart also joins us and he can bring a nice Cherry keyboard that I will desolder live on stage

[Phenix]

[seebart]

Yes Phenix true but let's not "overflame" here...

[KeepClackingAnd...]

I think a DT corner would be pretty cool. Just let me know what you need, I'll try my best to make it possible!

[faxe]

Already signed up and bought a train ticket DT Corner FTW.Will bring Clueboard that I bought with my raffle price from last year!

[hypkx]

If nothing cross my plan I will also be there. Is there a couch where I can sleep? Last time I drove two times 14 hours with the bus and that wasn't really nice .

[KeepClackingAnd...]

Hey! I just updated the inital post. There is also more information on the meetup page, so you should check it out too.

Looking forward to meet you!

[Wodan]

[faxe]

[faxe]

Should we start thinking about the DT corner?

[KeepClackingAnd...]

Yes, start thinking please I want to support this, but I may need some time to check with the location (depending on what you come up with).

[KeepClackingAnd...]

pssst - GMK will join us too!

[Wodan]

I am calling all Deskthority members to participate in the DT Corner thread. let's coordinate our boards a little and give them one hell of a show:

Thanks for posting, a little "Cherry-heavy" but since I now know Wodan is "harmless" this was good.
