I've been forwarding the announcements to some local groups. By
"local" I mean within commuting distance of NYC. You might want to
consider making use of the previously-assembled list of local user
groups to contact for DebConf10, or I will dig up and re-send the list
I'd previously assembled as a starting point. With school back in
session some of the groups that couldn't be reached for DebConf10 may be
back in operation.

Aside: the list I assembled was compiled from public (web) sources, so
I'll probably just paste in a reply here if you need it.
