I can only speak for us in Atlanta at Ignition Alley but it's a perfect fit for us. We've opened up our space to many people for collaborative events, most recently an "Ad-based website roundtable": http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikeschinkel/sets/72157622853503343/ We want our space to become a community hub. We don't even require membership but we do appreciate when those using the space choose to join so as to offset the cost of us making the space available to the community, and that is happening quite frequently. For other space owners I'd suggest similar. For those wanting to use the space, I'd suggest they be aware that running a coworking space is often a labor of love and a gift to the community and that those using the space support the space financially in whatever way is appropriate.
