KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar
Let me introduce a new and exciting seasonal column and special issue: the KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar 2022! :D
Published November 25, 2022
I've been cooking up this project for months now and the time has come to reveal some details and a landing page:
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:
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. ;)
