Even though I don't have much time to do Emacs development these days <sad face>, I would still try hard to come to such a meetup.  Meeting in person is indeed very important (at least for some people it is).  I might even try to use it as an emotional crutch to help me put Emacs fixes higher among other competing priorities :-).  It's easier to decide to spend time on something when it is associated with the pleasure of working with people I know in person.

So, strong +1, and thanks for suggesting it.

Best regards,
-Karl
