Who knows?
EDIT: United States and in other countries. FIRST is growing too fast for me to keep up with

Well:
A. I know we stole the idea from IndianaFIRST and we've been slowly forming in the past few months
B. Ken L from WRRF has already offered to help, and we've offered to help WRRF in any way we could as well
So, I think that these groups are already interconnecting. The main purpose for them is so that there are the local divisions to help organize things like workshops, as well as help make it easier to create offseason competitions, create promotional videos for all the local teams so they can use them, etc. I really think they're all starting to do alot of useful things, and that's what we're hoping FloridaFIRST will evolve into, and I think we're heading in the right direction.
