[Coworking] Re: Co-work in Barrie Ontario Canada
Chad, Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. It is great to know that there is always a creative solution ahead; love the new name! I have to admit I am a bit partial...as I describe, for those who aren't familiar with coworking or need a more clarification, WHERE with the definition of a work lounge for creatives.

This is Chad from The Creative Space in Barrie Ontario, Canada. Check out our blog www.thecreativespace.ca We will have been co-working here for about 1.5 years, but just recently took it a new level under the newly launched name the creative space. The 2nd floor wishes have been slowed due to lack of funds - so we're gunna pack em into our existing space of 1300 s/f. There are 10 of us in here and will be expanding to 14 permeant tenants. Designers, web developers, programers, photographers, video producers, marketing consultants, etc. I'll post some more pics, especially of the building and area. Most windows face a downtown park and the other view...Kemenfelt Bay! Thanks to all who post to this group. It's been so valuable to us. Lots of ideas and most of all - a community to let the na-sayers know, we're not crazy!! Well... maybe were a bit crazy. Cheers!!

Based in Berlin, Germany, I'm a freelance consultant for web strategies, working with companies, non-profits other organisations. (Right now that means a lot of election campaigning for the German social democrats.) I've been following the evolvement of coworking for quite awhile (since IndyHall opened, I believe), but so far I just shared offices. That's until recently I first worked at The Change You Want To See (hey Noel, hey Bekka...), did a few interviews from there ( http://www.thewavingcat.com/?s=coworking+interview - thanks Patrick, Chris, Alex, Tony!) and - after my return to Berlin - a friend happened to find a space that was basically ready to go. So as of now(ish), doors are open at Studio70 in Berlin Neukölln. On board, among others, is Sebastian Sooth, cofounder of meta-coworking project Hallenprojekt.de, who some of you may have met in New York recently. We haven't launched a website for Studio70 yet (we literally just got the room a few weeks ago), but there's some basic info on Hallenprojekt.de: http://hallenprojekt.de/studio-70 We'll be running it between ca 10 of us on a non-profit basis.

[Coworking] Creating new space - SF
Hi, I own an office space in San Francisco Soma district. My tenant is leaving and I'm thinking of using this opportunity to convert it into a coworking environment. I've had an idea how I want to do it for a while but this is first time when I'm actually going to pull a plug and go from renting a space to one tenant to creating a community. I'm looking for other space owner's experiences making this transition. The space is about 1000sf and furnished for 6 people. While I love the space, my tech business is in another space so I wouldn't be present day-to-day. Cheers, Marko ...from SomaRental.com to SomaOffice.com, trying to figure out the transition... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.
