[Coworking] Community Revolving Loan Fund - Anyone?
We are thinking of starting a community revolving loan fund. We've checked out a model used by a housing co-op and it appears to be something that would be very useful. It's closely related to crowdfunding except there's an above market interest rate incorporated. Has anyone used this vehicle to fund a coworking space? I have another important use in mind as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.

Re: [Coworking] Say goodbye to the Global Coworking Blog?
To really pull off a system like that it would require a good amount of work to make sure the right balances are struck. Also, never underestimate maintenance. As a software guy I love thinking that way, but its' a lot trickier then it might look to get something built, used, and maintained. The system we have is super simple as that is usually the best way to get the best of all worlds. To syndicate your posts, you can repost them to the blog when you find one you particularly want to highlight. It's a little more work on your part, but it's all in place and ready to work right now.

Re: [Coworking] Say goodbye to the Global Coworking Blog?
Agreed. Aggregators are low signal to noise by design, and would make the blog far less valuable than it being stale very quickly. The curation process I've been going through with coworkingweekly involves getting a lot of noise out in order to expose signal. More submissions would be really great, but most of the stuff I get submitted is more in line with promotion or announcements than information, so I hits the cutting room floor. -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 2:31 PM, Jacob Sayles wrote: To really pull off a system like that it would require a good amount of work to make sure the right balances are struck.

[Coworking] Re: Community Revolving Loan Fund - Anyone?
I don't know how complicated you wanna get but CSI in Toronto set themselves up as a non-profit and sold bonds to raise the money to buy their building. However, if you want to keep things simple and need less than $100,000 then I would try and pre-sell membership or take loans out from members as Alex suggested.

[Coworking] Re: Say goodbye to the Global Coworking Blog?
I feel like the coworking blog needs to stick around and we just need to make it a higher priority to submit articles to it. I know we are busy and spend a fair amont of time on this Google group, but if each person dedicates themselves to writing one post every two or three months then we could have an insightful post each week or more.

[Coworking] Re: sales tax on memberships in CA?
Are you using CA as Cali or Cananda? In Canada you do need to charge the sales tax. In Toronto the sales tax was 13% and we had to add it on.

[Coworking] Re: Community Revolving Loan Fund - Anyone?
That's interesting, Craig. We will eventually set up a hybrid with our community organization set up as a non-profit with 51% ownership in the coworking space. Using bonds would be something to consider since our space is located in a residential area and we plan for it to be THE small business community center. h TH On May 17, 5:17 pm, Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking baut...@gmail.com wrote: I don't know how complicated you wanna get but CSI in Toronto set themselves up as a non-profit and sold bonds to raise the money to buy their building.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Say goodbye to the Global Coworking Blog?
Part of the motivation for the newsletter has been to help get the good content from the google group shared beyond the google group. Really good stuff happens in here, I'd love to see some of the topics that come up here often turned into brief blog posts. -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 6:24 PM, Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking wrote: I feel like the coworking blog needs to stick around and we just need to make it a higher priority to submit articles to it.
