I'm unfortunately unable to witness these summits/meetings due to my current living situation - being that I am across the country. However, I wanted to let you know that I believe this idea is a major positive that will lead to the progression and unity for quality product. If there is anything that I am able to do (I'm unsure as to what length it may be), I'm certainly down to help.
Again, HUGE positives can come out of this clashing of the brains.
