I dislike the idea of quitting meetings entirely, I have been thinking
lately that we need to gain momentum again. Maybe a monthly meeting or
biweekly at a new time would be better?

I also feel like there isn't too much for me to do on my end currently,
though maybe that is because things got very busy over the summer and the
meeting time failed a lot.

I'm more in favor of virtual sprints over regularly scheduled meetings,
to be honest. Our regular meetings turned into pie-in-the-sky
discussions around all of the things the Intellego project could be
rather than determining and creating deliverables on the Intellego
platform. The content was also reduced to one-directional updates, which
could just as easily be done on this list.

I believe the opposite happened, which is why some of us didn't have much
to add, especially myself :-p There was a pie in the sky period while we
were getting on the same page, but then it all became about GSoC,
conferences and grants.

Yes, and if those are happening regularly that would be great for momentum
as well, but it's a bit chicken and egg. Will the updates keep happening if
we don't have a meeting scheduled at regular intervals? I don't like update
focused meetings either, I'd prefer to actually use the time set aside to
work together on something, but I think it helps to have the time set aside.
