Re: [Coworking] Two Grad Students Making a Go of it in SoCal

Nice introduction page, you are inspired for sure.  Claremont is an
awesome place for a coworking space.

I will be interested in the new paradigm as you create it.

Keeping an eye out for you guys over here in OC.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking "OfficeXpats" is open on Bainbridge Island

[Julie Scanlon]

That's cool, I think perhaps we are destined to be friends, i just met
someone who knows you/your place, he sold me a great mid-century chair
for the space, found him on craigslist and told him where the chair
was going and he said he knows a coworking place in Washington.  Dan
Jacobs over in Newport Beach, remember him?

My only concern (I am not usually from the fundamentalist wing of the

with an uppercase C the first time [in "It's called Coworking."] but
not the second time ["You can usually find the pulse of coworking in

We seem to be making progress on de-hyphenating coworking but in it's
wake another problem has cropped up.

I would like to lovingly redirect this group away from saying "cowork"
to identify a space. Examples: "I am starting a cowork" or "I am
interested in a cowork/co-work space." These should be replaced with
"I am starting a coworking space/community" or "I am interested in
coworking."

I offer that the term "cowork" should only be used when you need to
explain the act of coworking. "I am going to cowork today with my
friends" or "Hey, who else is going to cowork with me today?"
Alternatively, you can just delete the term cowork from your internal
lexicons and use the word coworking instead :)

[Coworking] Term clarification Cowork, Coworking

[Angel Kwiatkowski]

We seem to be making progress on de-hyphenating coworking but in it's
wake another problem has cropped up.

I would like to lovingly redirect this group away from saying "cowork"
to identify a space. Examples: "I am starting a cowork" or "I am
interested in a cowork/co-work space." These should be replaced with
"I am starting a coworking space/community" or "I am interested in
coworking."

I offer that the term "cowork" should only be used when you need to
explain the act of coworking. "I am going to cowork today with my
friends" or "Hey, who else is going to cowork with me today?"
Alternatively, you can just delete the term cowork from your internal
lexicons and use the word coworking instead :)

Discuss.

[Coworking] Props to Coworking

[Chad Ballantyne]

If you didn't see the Facebook/blog post, tweet, etc - here's the news 
The Creative Space and Chad Ballantyne Honoured as finalists in Barrie Business 
Awards 2011 
We were humbled to see our name presented to the awards committee and we were 
actually nominated in five categories. This morning was the Press Conference 
where they announced the finalists. We finaled in two categories. The Creative 
Space is a finalist for the NEW BUSINESS AWARD presented by the Strategic and 
Economic Development Office of The City of Barrie. We share this nomination 
with former Creative Space member Andrew and Emily Sorlie with Honey and Dear 
Productions. 

The big surprise was at the end of the announcements when they opened the 
second envelope to reveal the finalist for the Arch Brown Entrepreneur of the 
Year Award. This is a prestigious award, one that all business leaders in the 
city covet. The presenter opened it up and said “the finalists are in 
alphabetical order… (killer pause…) “Chad Ballantyne, of The Creative Space!" 
and the other 2 finalists.;o)

We’ll let y’all know on Nov 30th when the Awards Gala happens. 

Just thought y'all would like to know and each of you who have invested in 
coworking and each other can share these accolades!

Chad

[Coworking] Re: Seattle Times: Shared work space gaining popularity

[Gretchen Baisa]

A happy note:  the best part about this story - one of my members
actually pitched it to Mercury News.

The mood in our space was celebratory the day the story broke, with
members hi-fiving each other and congratulating each other for getting
a quote/their pic/pic of their coffee cup in the paper. Pretty amazing
stuff for a relatively new community.

Like a proud mom, I have to share the original link, because it has
some great shots of our space and our members:
http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_19004951?IADID  My only beef
with the story is that the editor wouldn't take the hyphen out of
coworking.

Be well, everyone:

Susan - I kid you not, I get called Susan _all_ the time! Even 2/3 of my

Just wanted to add that I am the only one on payroll, so Paychex will do it
even for one person.

Jacob get called Jason. We've dubbed them our alter-egos and have discussed
turning them into a comic strip. We'll keep you posted.

[Coworking] Re: Market research?

[Josh]

Hey,

I run a coworking space in Bozeman, MT. Our population is around
38,000. My situation is a bit different than most I think because I
was brought on after our space opened, kind of a cart before the horse
thing. So I never took part in the research. We have been open for 2
months and just hit 6 members. The market exists, you just have to
find them, I think everyone in this group will tell you that Jellys
are the way to go.

Jerome - yes I believe you are correct on their being headcount minimums,
though I do recall being able to launch with them with 2-3 employess and a
future projection of 5.

Re: [Coworking] Paychecks, paystubs

Clarification: isn't Administaff only useful once you have 5+ employees?  I've 
talked to them quite a bit, but we're still only at 4, maybe 5.

Re: [Coworking] Paychecks, paystubs

[Mark Gilbreath]

Sarah
At our space we used
Administaff,
a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) to manage our payroll and provide
our complete HR administration (benefits, policies etc).   At LiquidSpace,
we are also using this approach but are now working with
Trinet(same idea... a PEO... just a different
provider).

Very flexible. Very easy.  Lets you focus on running your space/business.

Cheers

Re: [Coworking] Paychecks, paystubs

[Jerome Chang]

Yup, we use Paychex.   Used to use ADP, but didn't like that I could access 
their web-based app only thru IE on a PC.  I heard they've since changed that, 
but nonetheless, we're happy w/ Paychex.

[Coworking] Paychecks, paystubs

[Susan Evans]

Hey all,

We're trying to get a little bit more streamlined with regards to paying our
employees at Office Nomads. For those of you out there with employees at
your spaces, do you use a paystub service like Paychex? We'd love any
recommendations you folks might have to help us with our decision.

Thanks!

[Coworking] Two Grad Students Making a Go of it in SoCal

[Sam Spurlin]

Hey Coworkers,

I've been following this group for awhile as my fascination with coworking
has been growing for a long time. I recently started a graduate program in
Southern California (Claremont, to be precise). I'm studying positive
psychology and I'm having grand ideas about a new paradigm for what it means
to sustain yourself through your work and improve yourself with dedication
to personal development.

Without getting too fancy, a classmate and I are having a meeting tomorrow
to begin laying the framework for this endeavor. Our focus for the next
several months is solely on building up a community of interested people
that can help create this project with us.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself to everyone and let you know that
you'll be seeing more of me around in the near future.

Also, for what it's worth, I've put up a small informational website that
I'm going to be pointing people toward as we try to develop this community.
You can find it at http://www.claremontcoworking.com. It's a work in
progress, for sure.

Thanks for the inspiration the past couple months and here's to creating
something awesome,

[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Rural Areas/Smallish Cities

[the CoLab]

A small group of us has been working together over the past few months
to create a vibrant, creative collaborative coworking space in Port
Townsend, WA - we're calling it "The CoLab" (Get it? Collaboration + a
creative energy of a Lab.) We are conducting a community survey and
are gathering some great information, momentum and support.

[Veel Hoeden]

Beth- Is there any way we could capture that group of spaces somewhere out
here?  With rural spaces being a growing segment, spaces like Veel Hoeden in
Pella (town of 10,000)would like to keep communication between these spaces
flowing.


Thanks & God Bless,

hi,

Congratulations, the new space sounds great. However, as a coworker
I'd like to hear more about your community rather than office
facilities - who are they? what are they interested in?

[Coworking] Market research?

[spatialguru]

Hi all, I'm interested in any pointers or experience others have in
assessing potential market in your locale.  Our city is ~11,000
population
serving about 30k people in our market area.  It's a blue collar town
but I know a handful of people who are into tech, R&D or who just need
some co-work space.

Any tips for how to nail down some stats?  What level of market
knowledge
were you armed with before your started up?  Any other small towners
see
folks come out of the woodwork?

Thank you and cheers from rural Canada :)
Tyler
