I'm finally catching up and finished this 5th essay. I scrapped a bunch of versions and kept coming back to Derek's quote. Thanks for the inspiration, dude.
Anyway, here's the final stack: http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2011/08/coworking-core-values-1-of-5-sustainability/ http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2011/08/coworking-core-values-2-of-5-accessibility/ http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2011/08/coworking-core-values-3-of-5-openness/ http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2011/08/coworking-core-values-4-of-5-community/ http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2011/10/coworking-core-values-5-of-5-collaboration/ Susan Evans suggested during the coworking owners retreat that we consider adding a 6th value: participation. I touch on this a bit in the collaboration essay - in essence, you can collaborate without the presence of participating. Lots of people fake it, but in the best coworking communities and spaces I've visited, people are far more present in their participation than average and even exceptional workplaces. I'm considering a "bonus" core value essay...but I think I need to chew on that idea some more first :) Anyway - this was a fun project to put together and I look forward to updating and expanding on these ideas, as well as seeing them updated and expanded on as more people share their opinions and experiences. One series has already emerged from Mutinerie in Paris, as William has been translating my series. 3 of the essays have already been translated - I also particularly like that they have been interpreted a bit along the way. HUGE thanks to William for doing this, it's very cool. http://www.mutinerie.org/les-valeurs-du-coworking-15-durabilite/ http://www.mutinerie.org/les-valeurs-du-coworking-25-communaute/ http://www.mutinerie.org/les-valeurs-du-coworking-35-ouverture/ -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 9:58 AM, Veel Hoeden <veelhoe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Derek- You've hit the nail on the head.
