Hmm, I wouldn't say that 3 months ahead for a small meetup isn't too
much of short notice.

Topics like GCC improvements and general portability issues also apply to Netbsd 68k and all those Amigans that port software to AmigaOS.
If you send invitations to a1k.org, the number of participants could
become very large. But as long as the venue has enough capacity, I
would be fine with that.
OTOH, the more people you want to accommodate, the harder it will probably
be to be able to agree on a date.

Jens is usually very busy, so I don't know whether he would be interested
to come. But if you ask on a1k.org, he will be able to read it, too.

I think posting on a1k.org will already cover a large audience. You
might also ask on the linux-m68k kernel mailing list.
