Re: [Coworking] SXSW Coworking Meetup Announcement

2010-03-08 Thread Jonathan Markwell
Hi everyone,

This is going to be my first SXSW. Really looking forward to the
opportunity to meet members of the greater coworking community and
share what we've learnt at The Skiff (http://theskiff.org) in
Brighton, UK over the last 18 months.

Jon.
