Step 1, think of a cool recursive acronym. I.e MIN ((M)IN (I)nterests (N)oone!) .. don't worry about making the name self-critical, the recursive acronym still catches on. Most of your users will share something in common with your chosen name. Nobody needs to know that the M really stands for mathlib.
Step 2, Define some set of coding standards that nobody in their right mind will follow, make exceptions only for brilliant contributors and immediately put them in charge of code review. Give preference to amateur coders who make the acronym non-critical of the project, or contribute animated sprites in makefiles. Foster arguments at all costs, those get you exposure. Calling people "terminally stupid" might help, "jackass" or "moron" are sure fires on public lists, especially if their e-mail ends with @intel.com.
Step 3, After you get popular, make sure you don't tramp on someone else's name space, if you do, send them beer, cash and attractive members of the opposite (or same, depending on who you're dealing with) sex.
Step 4, Find someone who works at Google with a son/daughter in your acceptable age range that is at least mildly attractive. Court them, get married in secret and start all conversations with your startled in-law with "If only someone had discovered MIN ..." At this point, your unemployment is Google's problem, not his/hers.
Step 5, profit.
You are, of course, free to reverse 2 and 3.
