Yes, I figured there were some in Canada too! Thanks for that info. I didn't mean to exclude Canadian users at all from that question; I was just wondering if this was a phenomenon that is or is not happening in the United States (or Japan, mostly out of curiosity - I don't live there). I would like to become involved with something like this after I'm out of school, so I'm sort of looking around a bit now...

I've been enjoying looking around the sites of different groups/events in Europe that have formed around free software (Pd in particular), like APO33, OpenLab, goto10, etc... are there any that are operating in the U.S.? I just haven't come across any yet.
What about CANADA ?
Artengine (Ottawa/Gatineau) Vidéographe (Montréal) Studio XX (Montréal) Interaccess (Toronto)
... are artist-run centres that have not been formed around free software and/or Pd, but have come to sympathise a lot. All of them organise Pd workshops once in a while. Vidéographe organises the biggest Pd workshops in the world (that I heard about; goto10 comes close). This brings me to my next point:
PureData Convention 2007 *will* be in Montréal.
and then, Montréal has got pretty much the biggest Pd user group meetings in the world, apart from Graz or not, depending on how it's measured.
