Joakal, after reading a bunch of comments on this thread it seems like you have a great group of people with whom to start your own online meetup.
You could organize it to be in a private IRC at a certain date and moderate the discussion. IMs could be used for people who want to breakout and have private conversations. It doesn't have to be limited to those who can't attend a physical meetup, but maybe at first just to test the waters.
This post was really inspiring, thanks for having the courage to ask the question. So many people will find excuses not to do something and it's so invigorating to see people who, literally, stop at nothing to succeed.
