This reminds me that it'd be nice to see some regional gatherings of Squeakers happening more often. It wouldn't have to be anything as formal as a Squeak-End*... just an occasional get-together of Squeak-interested folks to pair program together, chat about Squeak, etc., would be great. Newbies and experts alike could be involved.
There was some effort about a year ago to get some groups formed, and these Swiki pages were created:

It'd also be good see announcements on this list about when such informal gatherings might take place.

(*Of course, bigger Squeak-End gatherings are encouraged too... I assume the Squeak-End at Georgia Tech will still be happening next spring?)
