Slightly off topic, but I figure its worth mentioning our experience in Europe with the Pentaho community which built from about 4 of us. We have quarterly-ish London usergroup meetings at the SkillsMatter exchange where somewhere between 10 and 50 of us turn up, usually Pentaho ship a few developers out and we have 3 - 5 20 minute presentations followed by a networking session at the pub across the road. There are also other local user groups in Spain, France and a few other places who have occasional meetings.
Then once a year we have a European meetup in a different city each year where more Pentaho developers and managers rock up and a most of the community show up for a 2 day event, similar to what you guys did in Belgium. There are Puppet meetups, Chef meetups, Salt meetups in London and some more generic "DevOps" ones, it would seem to me to make sense to see if we can get traction for a Juju one if there is the interest, our initial Pentaho meetups had about 5 people, so I know what its like when not many people show up! ;) This way you keep a community continually interested instead of it being a 6 or 12 month thing.
