I'm not (yet) enough of a hardware hacker to play in this camp as anything but a member of the "slightly washed" masses attending rather than organizing.  Unlike the unwashed masses, I'm evangelizing the importance of hardware freedom as the new revolution taking place. I just am not quite part of it yet. Hence "slightly washed". ;-)

However, last week, I spread the word to our local hackerspace and a few robotics mailing lists in the area, hoping they will bite and organize something.
