Well, I probably could meet somebody in person, however since I am not allowed 
to cross borders (i.e. leave Germany) that would be limited to developer(s) in 
Germany. And even within Germany there are certain restrictions (e.g. entering 
Bavaria or Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is problematic/restricted right now).

I don't have a crystal ball, but it does not seem likely that the border 
restrictions are going to be lifted in the next few weeks or so.
