Hell yeah!
I'm personally running into some problems getting CiviCRM going on a new site. I'll definitely be there.
Interesting CiviCRM comment on d.o; joining the CiviCRM group
In preparation for 6/12, folks might want to read Why isn't the Drupal Association using CiviCRM for donations and memberships?.
Also, the CiviCRM group has lots of good reading. Feel free to post any CiviCRM issues somewhere on this event page before our 6/12 meetup, but you should ALSO join the CiviCRM group and crosspost your issues there where folks with CiviCRM knowledge will hopefully answer your questions.

I'm in!
Here's a bit about our site www.centexeweek.org. We help local engineers get in contact with schools to do classroom visits that encourage students to study math and science. We collect registration information for volunteers and schools. A volunteer who wants to organize a school visit becomes a Teamlead. The Teamlead uses the school contact information to organize a visit and creates and event that other volunteers can register for.
We have 4 different kinds of users: Admins, Teachers, Volunteers, and Teamleads.
Info we need to collect on each user:
Admins: Name, Company, email address,
Teachers: School name, phone #, and address, Teacher contact information, # of classes to visit, # of students to visit, additional notes
Volunteers: Name, Company, email address, Phone Number, Engineering field, grade preference (K-12), geographic preference, Do you speak spanish?, Are you interested in leading a team?, Shirt Size, gender,
Teamleads: Teamlead is an additional set of privileges assigned to a volunteer.
Is it possible to restrict access to the registration information to only admins and teamleads? It would be best if the email addresses and phone numbers could be largely private.
Template with political subdivision groups pre-defined?
I am new to Drupal and to CiviCRM and am looking for modules that:
Autocreate a set of groups organized into countries, enabling countries to be added or removed afterward.
For each country, autocreate a set of groups for every political subdivision, which for the Unites States would be every state.
For each political subdivision, autocreate a set of groups for its political subdivisions, which for a U.S. state would be a county. Alternatively, a congressional district, or state legislative districts for each house of the state legislature. Could further extend to smaller subdivisions, such as voting precincts, census blocks, etc.
Enable overlapping groups for overlapping geographic extents, and the granting of access to lower-level groups by those with permissions for higher-level ones.
OProvide an option of maps for each group, and of course, access permissions to each group area for reading and updates,
The idea here is to be able to quickly set up an organization with potential branches in every political subdivision, perhaps all the way down to the level of the voting precinct. So far I don't see something like this in CiviCRM or any other module I have examined. Has this been done by anyone? Is anyone working on it? Thanks.

Yes!
I'm working on centexeweek.org with "magdela". We hope to automate much of the mundane volunteer-signup-and-assign-to-events process that consumes a lot of our time, and at the same time provide a rich(er) experience for our constituents.
