Stephen Pair and I started talking about putting one together here in 
Atlanta, then, well, life happens :-)

I'd like to organize one here at Georgia Tech, but it won't be soon: 
Computer Music class in Squeak to prepare for, three conferences in 
October, big Computer Supported Collaborative Learning conference in 
January in Boulder (the GaTech Squeakers submitted five papers and a 
tutorial)...  Somewhere in the Feb-March time frame might be 
possible.  We'll explore around here...
