I think this is a great idea. I'd love to attend, though I'm definitely
not an essential attendee. The thing is, I won't attend the event. A
remote conferencing link would probably be a good idea, but don't spend
too much time on this. I would definitely be interested in a written
meeting notes (such as the one for the developer meeting) if it's possible.

Anyway, great idea. Hope it will work.
