I think May is an excellent choice, but maybe…

… May is a too short-term date to look for interested people. At the m68k in Kiel I was attending some years ago, there were maybe 6-8 people attending and it was back then still a supported release platform, IIRC. 

I know that the Amiga scene is still quite active, like in the forum at a1k.org. I don’t think that you would gain many participants when limiting the invitation to this mailing list. Topics like GCC improvements and general portability issues also apply to Netbsd 68k and all those Amigans that port software to AmigaOS. 

And what about maybe Jens Schoenfeld or other hardware vendors?

So, maybe it’s a good idea to extend the invitation to these groups as well (and find a new date). 

Speaking of myself: I’m quite interested in joining, but currently I can not oversee everything that might interfere with the date and so the propability of me showing up is maybe 75%.
