To start the Echo Isles quests, you want to talk to Vanira, who is right next to Voljin in the Sen'jin village in Durotar.
To start the Operation Gnomeregan quests, you want to talk to High Tinker Mekkatorque, who is located in the Tinker Town district of Ironforge.
These quests are counting towards the Loremaster achievement.

Was there supposed to be music for this? I seem to recall music tracks being found in the files or something but I never heard any during the actual event (I have music turned on in my options)

I am Horde through and through, Alliance is not an option for me. I apologise on behalf of my comrades. I reckon the new winds that will eventually lift that Garrosh into the position of Warchief are already blowing, and this is also reflected, unfortunately, in the behaviour of our rank and file. I am sorry.

This was meant as a reply to Jeff (Not that one ^ ).

Fall of Zalazane was pretty cool. But the Operation Gnomergan was in a word LAME! The quest line was silly, but left hope that the ending event (along with that great music) would turn the whole experience around and make it cool.
Nope..
After it was done, everyone kinda just stood there like....umm...was that it? People like myself who had done the Fall of Zalazane first were like....'seriously...this is a Blizzard joke right'?
The Operation Gnomergan series was like being a kid waiting for monts for your favorite cartoon episode to come on, only to have it end in a "To Be Continued"
Huge let down.

And the bugginess didn't help, either. Our group had to do it twice because Mekkatorque froze up and wouldn't progress down the tunnel to Gnomer. I guess you have to let him take the lead, which is slow and tedious.
Good luck keeping everyone out of the tunnel until he actually starts to move forward.

I did the Zalazane's Fall quest line and quite enjoyed it. Got my Darkspear Pride item. I was curious as to why it has a four hour cooldown on use or a cooldown at all, for that matter? What's Blizz's answer on that? Why do they have such CD's on items like the Orb of Sin'dorei or the Iron Boot Flask?

I did the quest chain and event last night. It started out pretty cool. My favorite quest was the training sequence. It's nice to know gnomes have their priorities straight. Can't go into battle til we've perfected our victory dance!
Unfortunately one of the three gnomes you have to give a speech to glitched out. Imagine 30+ annoyed toons standing around one pathetic gnome dude for over an hour. My favorite suggestions involved moving back to give the guy some "air", forming a single file line and having a tauren bbq complete with baked beans and Mayo slaw. yum. I have to say though, the actually event fight was kind of boring. Everyone kept running around not knowing when to move and where to go. It was pretty much a disorganized pile of nothing. It would have been cool if I could see the bad guy and his assistant but all I could see was their comment bubbles.

Has anyone else noticed that while fighting with Mekkatorque that he uses a gun called "Goblin Dragon Gun"? Shouldn't he be using a Gnome made gun...

Nice of Blizzard to not put the quest givers up on pedestals so people couldn't grief by having half their guild park massive mounts over it.
Yes, you can hit V to have the bars come up, but try clicking on that when you have 100+ other bars all on the screen at the same time as ewll.

Is this thing bugged? Something about not going in the tunnel, someone said. Ours just sort of stopped at the tunnel.

How long are the events going to be available?
