That's the biggest question.. "Where?" We have amazing contributors from
all over the world. Probably has to be at a major airport hub for
relatively cheaper flight tickets. May be the location keeps on rotating
around the world where there are higher concentrations of Emacs
developers/contributors.

I look forward to these meetups starting, and hopefully I can afford time
and money-wise to attend one of those :)
