A bunch of us are on the C++ Committee, which meets twice a year.
Boost people might get together one evening during these meetings.
Current schedule looks like:

  * 20-26 October, 1999, Kona, HI, United States.
  * April, 2000, Tokyo, Japan.
  * October, 2000, probably Toronto, Canada.
  * April, 2001, tentatively Denmark.

Other than , Reid Sweatman's suggestion that other industry meetings
might bring some of us together is also worth thinking about.

Conincidentally, the message below came the other day.  Maybe a
couple of Boost list members could volunteer to give this a try, and
report back to the rest of us.  Is it useful?  How fast a connection
is required?
