There's Python+Zope group [1] in DC, but I've never been. Refresh DC[2] is huge, and web developer-designer oriented, and Fringe DC[3] is functional programming oriented. I really want to go to Fringe, but I haven't been yet. There was recently a Barcamp in DC[4], and I expect there will be more. Twintech[5] is basically a party for techies AFAICT, lots of people seemed to have fun, there's another one coming in January. I'm in Baltimore, so it's a little tough for me to get to DC events. Our best event is the SocialDevCamp East [6], which is basically a Barcamp-style event. In April is jsconf[7], though the speakers and location are TBD.
