[Coworking] Re: french word for coworking
Hi, We haven't officialized anything yet, as is often the case in french a true translation often becomes very long and not practical. We generally use coworking and pretty much all francophone media who have covered us do the same. When we do use a french word we use cotravail or Espace de cotravail. La cantine in Paris seem to use Espace de travail collaboratif, the upcoming Ecto in Montréal uses Espace collaboratif de travail they both prove what I was saying about longer french terms!

[Coworking] Re: french word for coworking
excellent, thanks patrick! some of them are quite long, but cotravail and espace de cotravail will do just fine. i'll share your message with my quebec-native translator and let her decide if we go with coworking or cotravail. it's great to hear what other spaces have been using in various languages. i added a /translations page to the coworking wiki. it would help for community members to see the variations in our own languages, but might also be useful for media relations. please help to populate it! r.

[Coworking] SXSW Panel: Regional Whuffie Building: Attracting Innovation to Your City
Hey Everybody, Tony Bacigalupo (New Work City), Geoff DiMasi (P'unk Ave, Independents Hall), Julie Duryea (Souk Portland), Susan Evans (Office Nomads), and myself, Matthew Wettergreen (Caroline Collective) are on a panel at SXSW called Regional Whuffie Building: Attracting Innovation to Your City. If you're going to SXSW we'd love to see you at the panel: http://sxsw.com/interactive/talks/panels?action=showid=IAP0900393 First of all, whuffie. Taken from a direct quote by Tara Hunt: A. A word coined by Cory Doctorow in his book, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom as the currency of the future. B. Roughly equivalent to social capital C. is the culmination of reputation, influence, bridging and bonding capital, access to ideas and talent, access to resources, potential access to further resources, saved up favors, accomplishments and the Whuffie of those you have relationships with. During the panel we'll discuss issues surrounding inspiring a spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship, what it takes to run successful startup or a successful career in technology regardless of region. We'll also discuss some success stories resulting from regional whuffie building and why this is something that can help your region. In our individual communities of NYC, Philly, Portland, Seattle and Houston we have experience and anecdotes surrounding our own careers and community work. Additionally, we're talking about this regional whuffie building with others in our local communities to gain some additional perspective. Since coworking plays such a large role in rallying the troops of any region, we'd like input from all of you about Regional Whuffie Building. If you're able, could you answer some questions? 1. What are some of your success stories of regional whuffie building or inspiring a spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship? 2. How have you embraced the mix of face-to-face interaction and technology? 3. What are some individual strategies towards this end goal that you have attempted?

[Coworking] Re: french word for coworking
I agree with the whole comment of Patrcik inevernu and I confirm: in France we use coworking (and sometimes people use co-working ;)). I've always used this word for spreading about coworking with medias or barcampers here. It seems that this is one of these English words that is well accepted and that people don't feel the need to translate. I have noticed that it is the same in French speaking Switzerland: no mention of another word than coworking concerning l'Eclau (coworking space at Lausanne) or in the discussions about a new space in Geneva. I think that part of the explanation about our natural instinct for non-translating in this case is probably because we feel that using the same word reinforce the aspect of networking between coworkers and coworking spaces from all around the world.
