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.
