[jason]

Have you checked out http://aptgetanarchy.org ? There's some very

 I'm also involved in ParIT Parecon Worker Co-op http://parit.ca , 
OpenCity http://opencity.plug.ca (an annual festival promoting free 
communication amongst activists, artist and anarchists), and also PLUG 
Prairie Linux User Group http://plug.ca
