Really, Jay, you've got the t-shirt and the logo - what else could be 
needed? :-)

My take: reach out to a small but vibrant group; make sure it is diverse 
(type of library, type of person), and have a first meeting about how to 
have a second meeting. The first meeting may need to be folks in a 
nearby locale; the second would reach out to institutions that can add 
some support (space, time, motion).
