I have been running two times computer club, each time we called it Kosmos 
(Cosmos).

Please few computers, install GNU/Linux, and manuals, print some
manuals, and then invite people to use it. Do not mind if people are
older or younger as older people may attract younger.

Let computers be accessible in the manner of teaching them how to
program, like Squeak or other tools.

Make time table:

- 1 hour basics of hardware, keyboard, monitor, peripherals, etc.
- 2 hours programming, use 2 languages in a month for introduction
- 1 hour playing per day
- writing of success stories

Making it physical is not that hard and is much more fun and more
productive IMHO.
