We're happy to see more events such as local ROS meetups and ROS summer schools. Events are a great way to build up connections within the ROS community. 

If you let us know about your event and how many people you're expecting we'd be happy to send you ROS stickers for your attendees. 

If you're planning to hold an event we also encourage you to announce it here and post it to the Events page on the wiki: http://wiki.ros.org/Events You can also submit announcements to ros-news@googlegroups.com for posting on the ROS blog. Posts in the events category can be seen here: http://www.ros.org/news/events/
