I just sat on a panel talking about some of the ongoings at the regional groups around Sakai — California, Australia, the Netherlands, and of course NYC.

The Netherlands group seems similar to the NYC one in that they have regular meetings (more regular than us) and are building a continuous series of events in an area community.
