Honestly, I'd be really interested to see a list (global or otherwise) of such groups. Might help some people find other people they can talk to in their area. I know there's one in Perth (Australia), but my knowledge of other cities is woefully lacking. A central list or other resource (wiki etc) would be extremely useful. Particularly if various groups wanted to get in touch with each other.
