Things like casual introductions and cracking a few jokes will help in the first meeting. Preferably talk less about the project and chat about some other topics like Star Trek, Avengers, LOTR or Harry Potter as most techies are interested in these fictions (especially those introverts who prefer to work remotely!).
As you go through these conversations, try to assess the nature of each team member, how they interact and communicate with others, how they show annoyance or displeasure, etc. These things don't tell you much about their technical or coding ability but tells you a lot about their organization and detailing skills which are quite important to a project too.
