@Marc - honestly, IMO, it's a bit premature to envision that many people - reality is going to call for a lot less formality...precisely from an efficiency stand point. My best guess is that, if we are very successful, there would not be enough people, actually willing to work, for a year or more - perhaps much more. (if we are not successful [how to define] then it won't matter anyway) or let me do it this way - flip that over Ben starts announcing that he would like to like to meet up with other folks interested in LibreOffice (or Open Standards..or whatever strikes Ben's fancy pretty much) A coffee clutch - the key is to get together. The first thing, from what I read, most important to the wider organizational view is a collection of pictures (or video) of the gathering. Informal sounds right, folks interested in LibreOffice talking about it. Not to say that eventually there might not be some formality but even that would be just a Impress file on a laptop perhaps. Again I'd think that a micro-blog is just about right for the informal coffee clutch type get together - Ben (or others in other towns) really could just login with his twitter account, open the NYC Coffee Clutch group and tweet out that he would like to get together with anyone interested in LibreOffice (or whatever he likes) - with as much or as little specificity to time/place, again, as he likes - the tweet can be re-tweeted, the link to the group can go in emails or other tweets or blogs..whatever, that group link is hard...any how I ramble now..but I hope Ben was thinking informal and that he goes for it...hi @ben.. Same for others - Seattle comes to mind as a good place where there maybe a group waiting for someone to take the first step..
