Could you elaborate on what purpose you see such a group serving? 
Perhaps one never existed for Mandriva is because no one could think 
of a good reason for creating it. :)

It seems to me that geographically based user groups serve little 
purpose. In contrast to language based user groups which clearly are 
needed, as evidenced by the success of Blogdrake and others.
