Where LMMS users hide

At least 10 000 persons use LMMS, but have you ever talked to one of them? Where do they hide, you ask?

About 60 of these 10 000 is interested in talking. The rest of them want to make music in quiet peace. The "active" users live in many countries; most of them in USA and Germany, and most of them can be reached through the forums, facebook page, google+ or the LMMS mailing lists. I think there might be Spanish and Polish sites where people meet too.

Some users have teamed up. The reason users have teamed up in larger groups is to cooperate, share knowledge or help each other out with bugs and errors. The LMMS group Avelocity cooperates through Skype and Facebook. The Skype chat has evolved into a huge music chat not limited to LMMS users. There might be other groups out there like this.

I estimate that 90% of the community aren't actively participating in any of the sites above, however some of these guys are still releasing their music on Soundcloud, YouTube, lsp and other sites. Everyone of them could be interested in a cooperation, not sure they only want quiet peace but I reckon they are more interested in making music than discussing.

End note
I wrote this because of something I read on the developer list which currently is being spammed by everyone but developers. lmms-devel link. Now I have forgot what it was. Anyway it can't be bad to have a little description about LMMS-demographics.
