This is a great idea. HPC is an interesting topic and discussions around
it may be useful for lots of people. As format, I would suggest
something that can be recorded and played back conveniently, after it
happened. Casual Hangouts on Google are very trendy lately (it's the new
toy) and come with the advantage of going to youtube once they're done.
The good old audio conference is also good, if it can be recorded can
become a podcast. There are plenty of tools available for that.

What would be an 'agenda' (loosely defined points to discuss or
illustrate?) for the first meeting?

That may be problematic for Europeans. Who else would be interested in
speaking? If we record the chat, listeners can enjoy it any time.
