Pattern Discussion Groups

One of the best ways to learn about patterns is to read a book of patterns and to get together with a group of people to talk about them. This works well in a company; just meet for lunch once a week.

Here are some pattern discussion groups that want to advertise their existence. This usually means that they are happy to have new members, but maybe they just want to let people know who they are.
