[Coworking] Re: Office Business Center Offers Coworking Membership and Jelly Events
Sorry, I didn't see the profile area when I created my post. I've personally joined the coworking group through Linkedin. I've now added my profile here. I was wondering how people contacted each other, so I added our contact information at the bottom of the post. We want to share our news of offering coworking and Jelly events as part of our services in case Chattanooga was convenient for anyone wanting to do business in our area. I'm glad to see to spite the down turn in the market that people are joining forces to help each other. Coworking has always been my personal mantra to help every firm and individual using our services before this phenomenon became a new business term. Our first two Jelly events will be Friday, February 6 and 20, 2009, 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. EST. Free space, Wi-Fi, and coffee. Please call or email i...@theconciergelevel.com for reservations, as space is limited.

David, That's great. I'm glad to see someone else trying to merge a hackerspace and coworking into a nonprofit. The same thing just got underway here in Lexington, KY.

[Coworking] Re: Exploring Creating a Geek Community Center Mid-Peninsula, SF Bay
Yeah; same here in NYC. I always thought putting the two together was mostly a matter of gathering folks, securing a space and going to it, but it's more complex than that. I would welcome any stories folks want to share on their experiences. Cheers, d On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 11:20 AM, Todd Willey t...@rubidine.com wrote: David, That's great.

We haven't been doing this for very long, so I'm sure there are other folks w/lots more to offer! However, I have been in Real Estate for 15 yrs and am careful that all of our verbiage uses words like membership fee includes use of without ever using the words rent or lease to avoid implying ownership rights of any kind.

I somehow found the page http://wiki.coworking.info/Knowledge+Base (cant seem to duplicate how I got there though) but all the links are to pages that haven't even been started yet. It would have been a great source of info, if there was anything there. In any case, I am starting a small coworking space in Phoenix. I am starting small because I already have the office space and most of the furniture so its nearly zero startup costs (ok, maybe a couple hundred dollars), with the hopes to ramp up membership to fund expansion and eventually expand into a large combo coworking/techshop type space. The plan for the current space is two rooms with about 350 sq feet total which is half the current 4 room office. If things go well, I hope to expand into a full 4 room 750sq ft suite as phase 2. I've been reading here and doing lots of research, visiting other spaces' websites and have come up with a few questions.. A lot of spaces have memberships levels that offer a reserved chair. Does that mean you count how many people you have in the space at any particular moment and always have one free chair per full member? So if every full member happened to show up at the same time, they would all have a chair available? Or do you just average it out and assume all full members won't show up at once? Have you ever had to ask someone to leave? I ask this because since I am starting small there is very limited space so I have to be mindful of occupancy. Of course I could only hope I actually have this problem! Are there any open source membership TOS verbage I can use? IANAL nor do I play one on TV, so I'd like to CMA instead of just making up something that sounds good. Any preferred software to manage user in/out and scheduling? I searched here a bit and it sounds like there isn't much out there. Should I even be concerned with it at this point due to the small size?
