Well, maybe a good place to begin is to start a "Boosters' Club" node. "Boosters' Club", of course, is just a suggestion. Personally, I think it's kind of funny because most open-source folk are usually anti-booster anything, me included.
Anyway, on this node could go some kind of pledge, complete with a Preamble and flowery language to capture the PerlMonks philosophy. It might list the duties and responsibilities that the pledging member promises to uphold and carryout. To join, the member simply clicks a button and his/her name gets added to the roll call for all to see.
I like your ideas to have little funny campaigns sponsored by this yet-to-be-named volunteer organization. That's the kind of thing I had in mind. Above all else, it's got to be fun. In fact, that should be the whole reason for its existence---because people enjoy doing it. I think it would be fun to set little achievable goals together that everyone could work on like, for instance, having an e-mail campaign to bring Larry Wall to PM. Stuff like that would add a new, exciting dimension to PM. I think there are a limitless number of possibilities. Maybe have a quarterly pledge drive like on PBS to help ensure PM meets its contribution quota. Again, these are all just ideas I'm tossing out as examples. I'm not saying we start working on these specific things.
Please, if anyone else likes this kernel of an idea, please speak up. I would like to explore this further.
