For a relatively mature (~7 years; and ~5 years if we count from the<br>
time governance changed to OpenStack Foudation) project, one official<br>
contributor gathering per year sounds fine.  And for those that need<br>
more face time, people would continue to organize informal meetups.  But<br>
admittedly, this shifts the logistics apsect onto contributors -- that's<br>
probably okay, many other contributor communities self-organize meetups.<br>
