This week's question: Q: 'I absolutely LOVE my coworking space…BUT…It can be so NOISY at times. Don’t get me wrong, I can add to the din. I also don’t like to work in a library like setting. Any answers? Sincerely, Can’t Hear My Own Thoughts – Berlin' A: 'Despite the fact that some background noise actually increases creativityhttp://www.deskmag.com/en/ambient-noise-boosts-creativity-coworking-spaces-493?utm_source=post2utm_medium=DWblogutm_campaign=CoworkingBasicsbecause it induces a certain amount of discomfort, and, in turn, creates a level of agitation that catalyses more off-beat and outside-the-box thinking, background noise *can* push the too-loud boundary. This happens in all workspaces...read morehttp://blog.deskwanted.com/2013/02/coworkingbasics-ask-anna/ ' If you guys have any 'Questions' for the column - send 'em on in to a...@deskwanted.com Hope you guys enjoy the new Column - have a great weekend!

Not to pimp the new space too much, as I can see I'm the only one commenting on this discussion (haha), but check us out on Facebook and Twitter if you want to learn more about the space, our mission and the benefits our members will receive, Cheers! https://www.facebook.com/UpstartOnUnion https://www.twitter.com/UpstartonUnion On Thursday, January 31, 2013 8:48:59 PM UTC-5, mat...@rocketfishmedia.com wrote: I of course didn't mean to misspell collaborative, oops!

Good use of negative/positive space.

I've decided to step away from the company to concentrate on opening a collaborative workspace in the historic downtown district of New Bedford. If everything goes according to plan, we will open doors to UpStart on Union on April 15, 2013. I wanted to take this time to introduce myself and to this awesome community. Please, by all means, give me any advice, lessons and things to do prior to opening my doors that I might be overlooking. I'm very much looking forward to meeting you all along the way.

[Coworking] Re: Membership Software
Any luck with this Jason? I'm also running into this issue for my space. Let me know if you've received any feedback privately.

We are looking for a member management solutions that would integrate with a magnetic door lock mechanism, where we can also manage certain pain points such as conference room allotment etc. I kindly ask for suggestions from any veteran.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Membership Software
We are rolling our own and am open-sourcing it. It works with the magnetic door lock mechanism we are using. It is not nearly ready for prime-time, since right now it is Workantile-centric and I am still working on several necessary features. One of the things on my feature list is to genericize t so other coworking communities can use it. When that is complete I will make a general announcement about it. However, you are welcome to take a look at it and even clone it, modify it, and use it if you wish: https://github.com/workantile/openings. I welcome collaborators.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Membership Software
There is also Nadine which is open source and used here at Office Nomads. It doesn't do door locks though but Alex Lang from Cobot and I have gone back and forth discussing how to integrate door locks into our systems. We mostly discussed integrating with ISONAS controllers since that is what we use and I like that they are wired with standard CAT5 with PoE. It's certainly doable but we haven't had the need so we haven't invested the time.
