During our many conversations, we thought: what if we h= ad an Emacs Developer's
Meetup, for people to come together from emacs-devel, so that many of us --=
who have been corresponding about Emacs for years -- could get to know thes= e
people who have been a part of our lives for so long?

Where could such a meeting happen? When? Could we get Richard and Eli and s= ome
of the other past maintainers to join us?

That's the biggest question.. "Where?" We have amazing con= tributors from all over the world. Probably has to be at a major airport hu= b for relatively cheaper flight tickets. May be the location keeps on rotat= ing around the world where there are higher concentrations of Emacs develop= ers/contributors.

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