Hi All! The poll's here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/stories/SM-YX9F7TC7/
Looks like we've got roughly 20 who would certainly attend, and maybe 5-10 additional based on location and what's available. There's also a decent set of topics for discussion and events in the polling. That sounds, to me, like enough people to at least entertain the idea, and a fairly reasonable and manageable size from the perspective of planning and execution. Thanks!
