Chris Heuer mentioned the Coworking Summit concept to me and all on the State of Coworking<http://socialmediaweek.org/sanfrancisco/2010/02/02/state-of-coworking/>video-call event (original description/RSVP list <http://coworking.eventbrite.com/>) between Citizen Space and La Cantine during Social Media Week<http://www.SocialMediaWeek.org/>/SF last month, but we haven't talked about it since -- my understanding is that it's a concept for an event he wants to hold as one of many in a big old house he's renting for the week to make into the "Social Media Clubhouse<http://socialmediaclubhouse.com/>" as he's done before at other events including LeWeb Paris.
He's a longtime desk-holder at Citizen Space, experienced community organizer and Social Media Club <http://www.socialmediaclub.org/>co-founder. He hasn't been active on this list since 2006. I'll ping him (*especially since I realized that I liked the sound of the phrase so much that I reflexively registered the domain at the time! Not pointing anywhere yet*) - I'm hoping that the event timing will dovetail with my narrow on-the-ground window in Austin - Saturday evening's coworking get-together is the one thing I'm sure to make, besides a SXSW show floor visit (apparently moved downstairs this year and bigger than ever), hanging with friends, and, if the snow (!) has melted, going for a bike ride. Perhaps to area coworking spaces (I've been to Conjunctured a couple times, but not the newer ones), ToyJoy <http://www.toyjoy.com/> (ideal for accessorizing spaces), and Ruby's BBQ <http://rubysbbq.com/> across the street. On the topic of mysterious coworking events in Austin during SXSWi, does anybody know anything about the "*Coworking Congress*"? A SEO-spammy placeholder site (*that seems to be running a feed of a coworking search on Twitter at its heart*) is at that name dot com (I'm not about to give it any link love), and popping up in some of my Google Alerts, promising an event at Texas Coworking <http://www.texascoworking.com/> on March 13th, but with absolutely no info about who, where, or what, and there's nothing on the Texas Coworking calendar about it, and no mention of it on this list. The 2008 SXSW get-together apparently used that name, as best I can tell from a glance at search results - but apparently there also was a meeting in TX on January 29 of this year under that name. I ended up keeping the Austin Coworking MeetUp<http://www.meetup.com/CoworkingAustin/>alive (just barely) after Launchpad dropped it, and I'm eager to get it handed over to the folks actually doing things there, but I do want to make sure that it's pointing to real events and used cooperatively regionally to build the movement. *Raines, your **Coworking Coach* <http://www.CoworkingCoach.com/>* * On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 7:45 AM, t...@c4workspace <oneill.t...@gmail.com>wrote: > Is anyone familiar with this? > > @chrisheuer: excited to announce we are going to host a CoWorking > Summit during #SxSW at the Social Media Club House.
