I presume you mean 'without all the' :). This isn't intended as some
sort of major design jag; it started with my saying 'another trip in
March' and kinkie saying, 'lets have a meetup'.

Its pretty common in other projects to have little meet ups of the folk
that *can* get together as time permits.

If this was a 'lets make a 1 year plan to make squid fast' big strategy
meeting; then it would be silly to do it without you; and even more
silly to do it without you in person. Its not, and I don't think anyone
has represented as being that.
