Some educational users (see DrupalED.org) had a few meetings in  
Portland...not sure if this is ongoing.

Yes, but also any Drupal presence at these events -- i.e. a booth,  
promotional materials, etc. For instance, we attended FOSDEM, but  
didn't have a booth or official presence on the schedule.

Basic "protocol" for our previous 4 DrupalCons is that some group of  
people take the charge of organizing, and off we go. They do NOT need  
to be organized around other events, but this was useful as a  
marketing excercise.
