Hi all,
here are things related to GRASS GIS happening in North Carolina this spring.
US-IALE in Asheville is at the beginning of April and there is a full-day workshop which provides intro to GRASS GIS, shows how to use Python and R with GRASS GIS and highlights how GRASS GIS can be leveraged as a platform for a scientific model - urban growth in this case. There will be also at least two talks related to GRASS GIS, specifically to lidar data processing.
FOSS4G NA is at the beginning of May in Raleigh. The early bird registration ends tomorrow but there are additional options how to get a discounted price. Talks and workshops are accepted and it seems that GRASS GIS will have a strong presence. It is an opportunity to get some in-depth knowledge but also to see some latest developments, namely Tangible Landscape.

Finally, we have monthly meetups in Raleigh to learn more about GRASS GIS and about changing and improving GRASS GIS

Let me know if you have questions about any of these and share what is happening in your area,
