Jamie, It can be as easy as walking around yourself and mingling a little bit. We also have this built into the design of our space and is why we don't have different desks for full-time and part-time members, or keep our full-time members in a separate area.
But of course it has to be said that no matter what you do you will get suggestions to do it differently. If you are too chatty, you'll get feedback from people who want it to be more quiet. I suggest making the space you want to work in and that way there will be a tread of integrity throughout the space. To that end, what does it take to get you to open up?
