I think this is a great idea.  I'd definitely attend it, though I'm not sure
what if any questions I've had.  I consider I tend to sit on both sides of
the KDE/Plasma fence (not that it's really a fence, but as one that has
contributed a bit to both sides and doesn't tend to keep up with plasma
motivations, etc. I feel somewhat like an outsider with a bit of inside
knowledge).  For me a bunch of plasma still feels like magic as I've no clue
how to fix itches I have with it (why doesn't the comic applet work these
days, or why does it think last weeks dilbert has no successor for
example).  I really don't expect any answers to these in here. just pointing
out some possible coordination that could possibly happen at such a meeting
I think.
