How do I find people around me who use ROS?
I live in a medium-size city.
Is there a way for me to find other people in my area that use ROS?

We could always crowd-source the problem and have everyone add their location to one map.
edit: updated with data from the presentation slide, including Beta locations and other places with repositories
I suggested Alex's idea in the feedback link here at answers.ros.org, but have no idea if anyone reads those suggestions. I think it would be really cool to map all of this info.
People do read those :). I don't know if anyone actually acted on it, especially since not everyone actually fills in that field. If WG were to create a map, it would probably be better to geolocate all of the IPs that fetched from packages.ros.org (and get all that info for the mirrors as well).
A good start would be to check ROS.org and see if any of the Universities near you have a repository listed.
See page 19 of the PDF from the ROS Introduction from the CoTeSys Fall School (PDF) for a map of many of the Repositories available.
Since the map never got created, I had to deploy a little more radical solution - move to Silicon Valley. :)
I remember seeing some type of ROS usage map a few months ago. I can't find it though...
