I feel simliar to Benson. Ireland is very nice, but it has a very high cost on time. I just took a look at the committers map. Wasn't there an effort before to bring together Apache people (and interested) in a specific area? 10 people from bavaria can make it in one day to an event and back. Cost should be very low. Of course not the same as a big meet'n'greet in ireland, but it might help people coming into apache or finally meet at least the people near you. From bavaria, I would propose the name "Apache Stammtisch". ;-)
ConCom will support any event that fits the criteria specified in their support documents see http://wiki.apache.org/concom-planning/ConComSupportedEvents
If you want to make an event happen then just put your proposal to ConCom. Anything that doesn't fit the criteria for support is usually either: a) too large for ConCom to support (e.g. BerlinBuzzwords) or b) too small to need support (e.g. a few people meeting for a beer)

Aide from the fact that, as part of that priority, I tend to want to spend the time with the family, wherever we are at. It is true that Vermont (say) might be more digestible than Ireland :-) Please don't interpret this as some sort of dog-in-manger ("I don't want to do it so it shouldn't exist") attitude.
