I like that idea. I always wish that meetups were more about the community of contributors (people writing code, answering questions, writing documentation, and pushing the product to new places). But sadly meetups are usually organized by marketing departments.
Some conferences (e.g. Hadoop summit, and I suspect FOSDEM, OSCON and Berlin Buzzwords) have BoFs (birds-of-a-feather meetings) that occur in the evening after the main conference sessions. They are extremely free format, and anyone who shows up can speak. If Druid contributors are heading to such conferences, it’s worth sounding out on this list a few days before. There might be other Druid contributors attending the same conference.
