Hi,
I Agree with Slawek.
The virtual events are perfect to discuss things, but without the salt of personal discussion during the meetings or around the coffee machines :-)
So it would be good to have an inüperson event, but with a light agenda.

Personally I would like to have in-person even and meet again many of Neutron people there. But I know that not all people will want/can travel to Vancouver. So maybe we can have virtual events as the "main" ones and use in-person even in Vancouver for something like "hackfest", "office hours" or something similar. Generally something with less strict agenda and meetings. But that's just my 2 cents :)
