There is a general table at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI/Events which was the result of collecting contacts after the London GLAM-WIKI and I would see no harm in extending it or using it as a model. This is a bit passive as a way of managing follow-ups but the default approach (rather than a strategy) has been to offer and then see if the organizations follow-up with us rather than the reverse. Of course, as soon as a contact is made and things get going then it is worth forming an active collaboration page ( such as the latest, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/DER ).
Note, on the uk.wiki we have taken care not to publish contact details directly (only the Wikimedian point of contact) in order to avoid any problems with random strangers data-mining the information and the idea was to stick to direct email if we need to share contact info.

Hi all, we had a small meetup in Bristol after Jimmy's talk, where we discussed potential partners such as museums, libraries and societies and how we can make use of meetings with them. I've written up some ideas here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Bristol/Local_outrea...
Clearly some fantastic work is already going on with the GLAM sector nationally, and locally Steve Virgin has been up to an enormous amount of local networking that this would build on. It would be great to get together a list of contacts and where we are with them. The above page could be used to list partners we're engaging with, and perhaps there should be a private page somewhere for sharing contact names, phone numbers and finding dates when we and the contacts are available.
It may seem odd to put it in Wikiproject Bristol, and it's not ideal, but frankly I'm a bit confused by all the different places where WP/WM outreach material is supposed to go, and most importantly there are local Wikipedians who are crucial to the success of this effort, who can't be assumed to be watching the other sites (until we get interwiki watchlists).
Any input welcome,
