Bonjour 
Ile de France en effet (92) !
[/french]
This reminds me that I need to check if there’s something around having a Bépo layout for FW16, Azerty is only a fallback 
@pdp Cool, moi aussi je suis de Vanves et je bosse à Boulogne. Faudra monter un club ‘parisien’ autour du FW16 ahah
I’ve already worked on QMK with my homemade Corne split KB. It’s quite simple to compile a BEPO layer on the KB, since it’s already available for some French KB models. I’ll certainly do a BEPO firmware for me as well but I can’t give any ETA about it. I still need to get my hands on the ‘beast’ first 
@Aurelien_D Fontenay-aux-Roses, on est quasiment voisins
Oh I’m not really concerned about the feasibility, I’m familiar with QMK which I used for my Ergodox and Moonlander.
Having Framework offer a Bépo layout is merely to get nice matching keycaps 
But I’m tempted to change my preorder to go with a blank keyboard, like my other keyboards…

Or the blank KB … 
But I gotta check if it’s one of the keyboards that is slow to ship
Its getting closer, keep watching the pther batches coming through, getting exciting

@Bettsy lol
Don’t hold your breath too much my friend !
At the pace it is running right now, I would say we’ll get our hands on our new toy around mid-April … More something like :
- End of march, first preparation mail
- First week of April, payment and shipment,
- First orders delivered starting the 10th~20th or even more if any shortage
Take your bets !

Given the current pace, 1 batch per week, it could mean mid-March, which could be an awesome self birthday present (March 22nd)
I was kinda thinking mid March with the rate the batches are going, they seem to be picking up pace.
Sooner is always better obviously.
If its April, its April

We’re not at one week a batch tho … 
It’s more like 10 days per batch at best if no shortage IMO 
Let’s put that to the test, today batch 3 started getting billed… let’s see when batch 4 gets going!

Few people are sharing in the batch tracking post, gives an idea of what some of the time will be like once the emails arrive
It’s happened, Batch 4 are preparing!!
We might have our laptops in Q1 just about haha
I’ve bought my 96GB of RAM, I’ve got the 4TB SSD, and I’m just waiting to receive an email.
Mines sat in the basket ready to order… just waiting on that e-mail
The amazon price keeps bouncing between about $280 and $317, so I bought at the last low since the flow seems to be happening again.
Yeah thats unfortunately not going to work for me 
i am living alone and will be on a 5 week business trip starting april where i hoped i could bring my new and only laptop with me…
As much as it pains me i maybe need to cancel my preorder last minute and buy something different.
I am really hoping they can increase the pace now…
Got my fingers crossed for you

They were doing about a week a batch before they had to wait to finish up with orders that were waiting on parts, so we realistically could be delivering last week of this month, but who knows, and actually it was like 6 days between 2 and 3
