how would you get the geocoordinates of hacker news users? I don't see it in the about profile, do you mean asking them for it?
Start here. All you need to do is match up HN usernames with their geo-cooredinates, and dump the coordinates into a Google map.
Then at least you'd have an idea where the clusters are, and can work from there on how to setup a meeting (maybe via Meetup.com which is pretty good for this task btw).
