Hey Dani,
I'm in if the exact date permits.
BTW- you might want to post a copy of this in the Geek's Lounge; it would get a heck of a lot more exposure there.

A get together would reinforce the standing as a community. It is a great idea, I hope I'm able to come out!
Would love to but it's just too expensive. I've already got an invitation to DC for September and 2 trips to the US in a year are more than I can afford (in both time and especially money).
Living in Europe a flight to the US and back costs something like $800-$1200 depending on destination and dates...

Only seven 'yes' votes so far? I don't think the word is getting out well enough. Maybe it would help to put in the 'Featured Threads."
I would think most of the moderators should try to attend. As far as I know, I should be able to make it

I wonder how many of those 50.000 members are really members and how many just post a question and then are never heard from again.
On most boards I visit I'd say at most 10% of the membership base are really active. That would mean at most 5000 active members here (active meaning visiting more than once a week on average over a prolonged period).
Given the worldwide and rather young (my guess from the style and language use of many posts) audience here I think many won't have the funds to make it (and would likely not get parental permission to travel to NYC on their own even if they could get the funds).
Those people may also be less than inclined to admit that, and therefore not vote.
Overall I don't think you should expect more than a few hundred people at most, Dani, and that's an optimistic estimate.
As I already said I would come myself if I could but that's unlikely in the extreme (though maybe if I could combine it with my planned (but unconfirmed) trip to DC in September I might be able to make it).

This poll is really just to get a feel for the magnitude of people that think they can make it ... so I know whether it will be like 10 or 100 or 1000. After that, the next step is to decide where and set a date. I think once a date is set, a poll would be more realistic.

Thats a great idea. I really wish i could be a part of it.. but coming all the way from Asia, is something which i can't even dream of. But i must say, its a great idea.
