A range of Haskell User Groups are springing up all over.

Online communities

User groups

Regular meetings in a particular geographical area. Great if you want to see and meet other Haskellers.

North America

West Coast

SoCal FP Group
The Bay Area Functional Programmers group
Meeting monthly in the San Francisco Bay area. See their blog for more details and news of upcoming meetings.
PDXfunc: Portland FP Group
Monthly meetings of the Portland, Oregon functional programming group. Meetings occur on the second Monday of each month at 7 pm, typically in Downtown/NW Portland.
Seattle: Northwest Functional Programming Interest Group
a Northwest Functional Programming Interest Group in Seattle.
Vancouver, Canada: Haskell Programmers Group
Regular informal meetings for local Haskell programmers/devotees.

East Coast

Boston Haskell Users' Group.
Meets monthly.
New York Functional Programmers Network
Come and meet like-minded functional programmers in the New York area. The next meeting is at 6:30pm on February 26th, at Credit Suisse's offices. Paul Hudak from Yale will be giving a talk on real-time sound synthesis using Haskell. Please RSVP at the NYFPN Meetup Page.
FringeDC Washington
Meetings about functional programming languages in Washington DC.
Atlanta Functional Programming Users Group
Meet other functional programmers in the Atlanta area. Join us and geek out!

Central

Austin Functional Programmers Group
See the discussion group for more.
Colorado Area Haskell Study Group
Chicago Haskell User Group — new group, had first general meeting in December 2009; meeting every other month.
Denver Area Haskell Users Group -- DenHUG had it's first meeting on 27 Feb 2010. Next meeting will be 3 Apr 2010.
St. Louis Lambda Lounge -- Meets the 1st Thursday of the month. Since Dec 2008, Lambda Lounge is a user group in St. Louis organized loosely around the idea of exploring dynamic and functional languages.

Australia

FP-SYD, the Sydney (Australia) Functional Programming group
FP hackers in Sydney.
(FPU) Melbourne Functional Programming Union
The FPU is a collective of functional programming language enthusiasts, which has been in operation since 1998. We are based at the University of Melbourne, in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, but we are open to all members of the community. We meet on a regular basis for lively discussions on topics broadly associated with the declarative programming paradigm.
Brisbane Functional Programming Group (BFPG) (Meetup page)
A group for Functional Programming with Haskell, Scala and other languages.

Europe

London Haskell User Group
The first meeting of the London Haskell User Group took place on 23rd May 2007, at City University in central London
