I don't think anything was decided so far.  I did email the authors of the 
book and got a response from Andy.  He said they have a page on their wiki 
for something like this:

http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/cgi-local/pragprog?PragmaticPractitioners

I added a section to the wiki for the portland group.  This will give us 
some space.  Everyone should feel free to add to the portland page.  They 
also have a mailing list (that is shared with other pragmatics in other 
areas which I think is good) but I have tried twice to subscribe with no 
response.  Not sure if its automatic or not.

Once we have our own list we can move to it and stop being off topic ;-)

John.
