If I am understanding your question correctly, these are virtual groups in that we do not all live in the same place and we hold our meetings via Google Hangouts. However I will be physically meeting with the people in my group in April. We are all within 1 time-zone of each other so that helps. I suppose you could make whatever arrangements you want with your group once you know what everyone is up for.
