I will be more than happy to help restart working groups and play a role 
of a meeting organizer / stenographer and contribute my expertise where 
I can.

First thing we need is a place where a list of working groups can be 
discovered (how and when to join) and where announcements can be shared. 
A dedicated mailing list would be great, but I am also open to other 
ideas (use -hackers maybe fine too?).

Currently the only place I know of is [1] meetings repo on github with 
notes (and it is not complete, bhyve group for example is missing)
