A big +1 on this. I've already signed up. We should probably use doodle 
(or similar) to start picking some dates.

Do you have plans for another London meetup? Perhaps we could sync it 
with that? (I'm going to be down in London around the 10th/11th of 
July). If a physical meetup does not work out we can always do a virtual 
package-party based around irc as we did last time.
