I attended a few of these sessions when I was in Ann Arbor last year and am friends with a number of the members. I've since moved away so I don't know how things have changed.
The basic idea when I was there was to get together on a regular basis to talk and share ideas without the formal requirements of a shared space. From what I know of coworking, this seems like a common way to get things started in a particular community. I've been thinking about doing something similar in Minneapolis (my current home base) but haven't gotten that organized yet. I think that an informal approach to coworking, some method for creating ad-hoc communities of shared interest for temporary periods of time is an interesting challenge. Most of the discussions on this list in recent weeks have been about groups that have a permanent space. To me a permanent space is a commitment I can't make right now. So where does coworking fit then? Todd On Apr 4, 2008, at 12:53 PM, Hillary Hartley wrote: > > Sounds a bit like Jelly and a bit like a meetup.
