[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Melbourne Australia

[Anna C]

Hi there Ben,

If you'd like to get in contact with coworkers, I'd go to the spaces 
themselves. I'm sure there'll be some people in their respective 
communities who would be happy to talk to you about their experiences. 
There are a number of other coworking spaces in Melbourne too, in the case 
you're interested in approaching more people. You can find a list 
here
.

You might also be interested in connecting with the wider Australian 
coworking community. Deskwanted, Hub Melbourne and Inspire9 are in the 
beginning stages of organising a Coworking Conference to take place in 
Melbourne next year. We're inviting all to join in the conversation in a 
google group and to start building strong ties. I'll take the liberty of 
sending you an invitation :)

Best,
Anna

[Coworking] Re: Utility costs with 24/7 access

[Cody Sullivan]

Thanks for all of the responses. I was under that exact impression--that 
most people want it, but few will actually use it. We only have one 
full-time member. She has shown considerable interest, but she is new and 
the space is new, so we're not too excited about giving her a key right 
away. I suspect she would just stay an hour or so beyond our official 
closing hour, 9PM. Our community is in its infancy and our business is not 
yet sustainable, so 24/7 access would be more of a means to draw people in. 
But, I think we'll hold off until we form a solid group with members we 
know well. Our members, so far, are terrific. It's more a concern of 
carelessness with, say, forgetting to set the alarm, locking the back door, 
or casually mentioning our accessibility to someone they shouldn't trust 
rather than the members, themselves, being malicious. The other concern, 
which was addressed well here, was utility costs. Thanks again!

[Coworking] WorthingDigital: Coworking and meetups in Worthing, West Sussex, UK

[James Bradshaw]

Worthing has a weekly coworking group that has been running since Feb 2012. 
Meeting every Thursday at Barneys Cafe who kindly open up their upstairs 
function room, provide internet access, power as well as an extremely tasty 
menu. The group has been growing at a steady rate which has been helped by 
running  worthingdigital.com a monthly evening meetup hosted by a local SEO 
company Fresh Egg .

Our numbers are at a level where we are actively looking to setting 
a permanent coworking space.

James

Re: [Coworking] New Cowork Location

[Jim Rounds]

Thanks Susan -  Learned lots from you and Jacob when I stopped by Office 
Nomads a couple of times last fall.  Thanks again for being so gracious 
with your time and willingness to answer my questions.  I noticed the SCSA 
meeting is scheduled for this evening at Agnes Underground.  I'll try to 
stop by after 7:00 this evening.  At the moment I'm at my CoWork Duvall 
space and will be here until 5:30 or so.
 
Jim

[Coworking] Space catalyst in Indianapolis all input is welcome!

[bfogle]

Hey everyone, 
Let me start out by saying I am new here so I don't really know the forum 
all that well. I have been researching coworking for several months now and 
I think that it is great! I just moved to the Indianapolis area and would 
love to start up a space here. Like I said I just moved here so this is 
really my first step I dont yet no anyone else in the area that would be 
interested in coworking so I am looking to meet some like minded people and 
see what kind of interest Indianapolis has in coworking. Soo if anyone is 
in the area please get in contact with me I would love to meet you
 
So alittle about myself and how I ended up with my interest in starting a 
space. I have been doing freelance graphic design for many years mostly at 
my dining room table or at my office at my "real" job. My wife is a 
photographer as well and works from home. We have 2 small kids and trying 
to get any kind of real work done at home is a complete challange. Soo I 
stumbled apon coworking and have loved the idea every since. 
 
Anyone who has any feedback for a beginner please feel free to reply and 
anyone in the Indy area please let me know your out there!
 
Thanks!
Bfogle

Re: [Coworking] Re: Space catalyst in Indianapolis all input is welcome!

[Alex Hillman]

As Toni suggested, ABSOLUTELY check out your local spots first! Get to know the 
local scene, especially given that you're new on the ground in Indianapolis, 
what's good about it and what's not. The people already doing it are the local 
coworking community - which means they're potential collaborators far more than 
they are competitors. 

Also, having been through this a lot of times over the last 6 years and that 
you're so early in the process, I strongly recommend that you try shaking the 
want to open a space while you don't know anybody yet and as a result, don't 
have any community built up yet. 

Opening a coworking space is the easy part, but bringing people in the door and 
building real community amongst them is a lot harder than a lot of people 
think. Search this group for the near weekly question of "how do I find 
members" from spaces that opened without them. It's possible to build community 
after the fact, but it's a LOT harder to do it after the fact:

http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2011/09/how-to-fund-your-coworking-space/ (hint, 
this post isn't really about funding)

You'll get to a space eventually, I promise. But developing community early 
will not just pay off in your ability to open the space of your dreams, but 
it'll plug you into the Indianapolis community in ways that you haven't even 
dreamed of yet! And that's the part that pays dividends FAR greater than owning 
a room full of desks :)

Also, if you're psyched about coworking ideas, I send a free weekly email 
newsletter that's got all of the best links about coworking related topics from 
the previous week. Jump on before Thursday morning of this week to get the next 
one:

http://coworkingweekly.com - there's also a quick reference to the first 20 
issues work of links here to help you get caught up. These back issues cover a 
LOT of ground very quickly, especially a number of common discussions that 
happen on this list

http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2012/07/20-weeks-of-coworking-weekly/

Welcome to the global coworking community - it's fun here, happy to have you! 

-Alex
