ULCC did run a Mahara stream at their Moodlewonderland day late last year and plans are afoot more more Mahara specific mini-confs.
As mentioned above we have been fortunate enough to get slots at various MoodleMoots but recognise that this is certainly something that is at the discretion of the individual Moot organisers.
I just double-checked the link http://moodlemoot.moodle.de
It works for me.

FYI, there are two IRC channels on irc.freenode.org where you can hear other voices about Mahara:
short answer: Yes
detailed answer: The last moodlemoot in Bamberg, Germany (http://moodlemoot.moodle.de) had a track with 4 presentations about E-Portfolio and Mahara.
"Keynote" speaker and wamr welcomed Penny Leach. She explained the history of Mahra, lighended about the aims of the New Zealand government and the participating universities and whispered about some details of hte roadmap
Dr. Alex Büchner (http://synergy-learning.com,Mahara partner in Ireland presented among other things the possibilities of the moodle 2.0portfolio API and the export to the Mahara incoming folder.
Sigi Jakob-Kühn (http:/www.school-networking.de) refered about her experiences in using Mahara for new learning and in the teacher training. She invited the audience to leave old paths in school and start to the future.
Andy Hediger (http://www.lernenzwei.ch/) presented my favorite presentations. His thoughts about E-Portfolio work are awesome and i hope to discuss with him details how to unse them with my students.
So everybody discovered the potential to work with Mahara and the about 70 listeners were very pleased.
In the talks beside the official program guys from NZ, Ireland, Germany,Czech Republic and many other countries discussed till the morning

If anyone is coming to Florida, I would love to organize something. Or maybe we need to agree on a time that would work for a world-wide online gathering?
It would be fun to hear peoples voices other than just Moodleman's LOL
