Here's a simple beginning:
- Find some cool people and write your purpose, this will crystalize your space's identity.
- Collect some sweet hardware, install linux on computers that work,
- Provide some social space, chalk/whiteboards are good, desks, couches
- Turn on the wifi
You could literally start with that little of planning.
