KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar

Let me introduce a new and exciting seasonal column and special issue: the KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar 2022! :D

Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.

I've been cooking up this project for months now and the time has come to reveal some details and a landing page:

KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar

Based on the format of the Japanese advent calendars, 24 revered members of the MK keyboard community will write longer format articles summing up their whole year in the hobby/business, introducing some projects in detail or coming up with tutorials.

First of all, I'd like to thank Cody, designer of Switch Magazine, for reaching out to me months ago. He volunteered to turn a weekly kbd.news issue into a PDF-zine, but it made more sense to make a special issue for this purpose.

So this is it. A kbd.news special issue, presented as an advent calendar, turned into a PDF-zine, which may go into print as well.

And of course thanks to all the contributors!

Check out the epic line-up and topics we'll cover here:

KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar

And sorry for the mess in advance. :D I'm sure there will be some changes in the line-up, several updates to the order of posts, as well as a lot of other difficulties.

But this is the first year I host such an event. If you'll like it, I guarantee it will be better organized next year. ;)

Do you like this post? Share, donate, subscribe, tip me off!
