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)
