In the Ithaca area we have a Free Software group (The Ithaca Free
Software Association).  While not specifically an Ubuntu group, we do
distribute Ubuntu (as well as other materials) at our various events. 
We meet every month and host other activities such as installfests,
advocacy events at Ithaca College and Cornell University, Software
Freedom Day, as well as smaller ad-hoc community events.
