At the Hackers on the Planet Earth conference in New York City last month, a presentation was made about how to start and maintain a chapter of Locksport International. If you are considering starting your own chapter, I recommend watching this video from the conference. In the same video, a tool has been released called the Medecoder, as well as a demonstration of Jon King picking a high security Medeco cylinder.
Here is a link to the video:

Here is a synopsis of the speech:
"This presentation will go into detail about how to start and maintain a locksport organization and how groups like these can lead to influential research. You’ll learn how to keep everyone excited about lock picking and how to turn your club into a well oiled machine for years to come. In addition, you’ll find out what it takes to produce a good lock picker and see how anyone can influence the lock industry even after only a few months of being on the scene. Jon King’s research on high security Medeco locks will be revealed in detail. There will also be a demonstration, on how to build a tool to pick high security cylinders, and how the responsible disclosure of exploits in the hardware world can make a positive impact for all involved."
