However, to put things in motion for something concrete at all, we're hoping to put together a meeting taking place in the Portland area as that seems most convenient to the most people who had registered interest in AmeroHaskell and an easy place to find a venue. In that vein, while no plans have been made, something aimed for the January/February time-frame and probably hosted by Galois, if they are willing, has been discussed.

In Portland, we've already had the first pdxfunc meeting: http://groups.google.com/group/pdxfunc

While billed as a functional programming user group rather than a Haskell-specific group, we shouldn't duplicate effort.

Don mentioned that. However, something specifically Haskell and aimed at a wider audience than just the Portland area is desirable. It's also a different tone than a user group. Hopefully, there would be a reprise next year in a different location. That said, I imagine many of those going to pdxfunc would be interested in AmeroHaskell and certainly it could be set up as a pdxfunc meeting++. At this point building momentum for AmeroHaskell is what I'd like.
