Tamara,
This article was really good.  I wonder how the leader built the community
originally in attracting members that contributed to the community and were
expectations set by the leader, picked up in the cultural experience or
shared by current members.  Thank you.  Becky

Re: [Coworking] Who's shopping for electronic door locks?

2014-07-16 Thread Kenton Hansen
We lucked out with our building. It was used as a realty office before, so 
it had a electronic keypad lock from Simplex

I like it overall.

   - Pros:
  - Made for the thin doors like you're describing
  - six digit codes are all that it takes to open the door, no key, no 
  fob, no additional cost
  - programmable actions like "If a code from this group is entered on 
  a weekday between 7am and 9am, unlock the door" and "auto lock at 5pm" so 
  the space is open even if I'm on vacation, and it doesn't stay open on a 
  holiday.
  - I have a csv file in my dropbox so I can send anyone a keycode for 
  any reason if I want (as long as I keep track of who has which)
  - 4 year on the same watch battery
   - Cons
  - The software for mine requires a physical connection to the lock 
  (so I just generate 150 codes at a time, makes lock maintenance a 
quarterly 
  project). I think the current locks have wifi.
  - the software for mine only runs on Windows XP

[Coworking] Coworking Week Events!

2014-07-16 Thread Susan Dorsch
Hi all,

I am getting all of the events up on the SCSA website
 to start spreading the
word about Coworking Week! I've got events up from OfficeXPats, Works
Progress & Office Nomads, but I am sure that there are more I've missed.

*Please send me details for any events you have that are open to the public
for Coworking Week - August 4-9*. Include a URL for any events that folks
can RSVP to- I'll be sure to add those in as I get them.

Otherwise, I'm eager to see everyone at WeWork next week for our final
business meeting

before Coworking Week arrives! I'll have Coworking Week postcards for all
of the spaces to take and hand out to people - they look awesome and I'm
excited to share them with the world. :)

Anyway, please send me your events ASAP.

Thanks!
Susan
