[Coworking] Re: New Press for Coworking in Bay Area
Hmmm, it looks like the anonymous commenters have somewhat sidetracked the focus, mocking the names of the kids and attacking the whole concept, as well as missing the point. For example: I am sure the kids wont miss a thing about their childhood being spent at mommy's and daddy's office ... advertisements for services available to the rich and uber-rich I don't think one can do a job properly and take care of a child-something will suffer I don't think children belong in the workplace I am sick and tired of these arrogant parents thinking that employers must cater to their child care needs Beyond commenting, we can also use the power of the recommend button to bump up the comments most relevant and informed, and the report abuse link when necessary (where merited, I don't see any at the moment that have crossed the line). Remember, our comments don't need to convince the folks who made the comments above, but can help others see that we are real people co-creating new solutions to meet the needs of our real lives.

[Coworking] Re: Microcoworking
This sounds a lot like Jelly, and I think it makes a lot of sense to have incremental levels of commitment along the path to a full time coworking space. Sounds like fun to me!

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. Looks like they have regular get-together dates. Does Ann Arbor have an actual coworking site? (/me goes to look at the wiki...)
