Interesting! I'd also enjoy a meet-up, but e.g. for "3. Testing ideas with users" I would find it worrisome if getting user input would require reviews on a given patch stalling out until the next monthly meeting. (Reviews are already slower than they should be as it is!) I don't know that that's what you meant to suggest; I'm just aiming to understand what you mean about the "all 4" above.

Sounds nice to me. If others turn out to be also interested, then what would be the next step for making that happen?

Thanks, Jonathan
