I think these meetings would be great.. if there is a specific structure. We use a simple format that could help e.g.
1. Review long term vision/ roadmap. 2. Review next release / features that are in progress. 3. Discuss issues in general and make a game plan for the next quarter. Nothing too complicated, but at least some structure so that we are timeboxed on what we are doing.
