Is there already one in your country? If not? Why not get together with a few likeminded Drupal people and talk Drupal 8, no matter where you are.
If you do organise something, there are some instructions that can help you make your party more visible in this group:

Drupal 7 Release Parties
We all know Drupal 7 will be released shortly.
D7 Release Parties are being thrown all over the world in celebration - most taking place Jan 7, 2011.
I know for a fact the African Drupal Community is much larger and more active than most people realize, so why not take this opportunity to show the world where all the African Drupal communities are hiding?

Read moreDrupal Amharic Translation Underway
Hi all! I just wanted to inform all of your that the translation for Drupal into Amharic is under way. We have a lot of work ahead of us and it would so nice to see all of you (Amharic speakers I mean) to contribute.
You can see our status here, http://localize.drupal.org/translate/languages/am, you can join the project and suggest some translations. Hopefully we would have a wiki on how to do that right at the Ethiopian groups by the end of this week.
