 Good timing! We just published our 3rd issue of New Worker Magazine with
 two articles on how people combine coworking and travel:

 - Trading places: Coworkers switch cities
 http://newworker.co/mag/coworking-travel-betahaus-berlin-madrid/ by
 Rafa Moreno of Zona Coworking (about Betahaus Berlin swapping members with
 utopic_US in Madrid, and vice versa)
 - This is how coworkers travel http://newworker.co/mag/coworking-travel/
 by Ashok Amaran (about CoPass, LiveWorkAnywhere, Misfits Inc., and the

Re: [Coworking] Furniture - Any recommendations on sourcing?

2014-07-22 Thread Glen Ferguson
We bought these training tables by Balt:
http://www.amazon.com/Balt-Mentor-Seminar-Table-Black/dp/B005CHY2HS/ref=pd_sim_sbs_op_1?ie=UTF8refRID=1FAYC2GYCB3F2RKY2R84

We ordered the first batch through globalindstrial.com but when we needed
an additional one we discovered the Amazon link above. As it turns out,
free shipping via Amazon Prime saved us more than the cost of Prime
membership on just that one item alone.

The table have worked well for the past 1+ years. We usually have them
pushed together to make a sectional conference table (3 72 tables in the
middle with a 60 table on each end). The only oddity is the pencil trough
molded in to the top at each seating position. We get a lot of flashback
to grade school comments, but no one really objected to it.

 I used to work for a contract furniture dealer - we often went to Versteel
 and Falcon for folding training tables, however I don't think their price
 will beat those.  You may check out Uline, its not contract but they have
 some surprising prices.  Also, depending on how many training tables you
 plan to store, sometimes using ones without casters but storing and moving
 on a dolly made to move them can be a great space-saving.

 We are thinking about buying these training tables from Costco:

 We need to be able to fold up the tables and move them out of the room
 into storage for events, so unfortunately we're limited a bit for what we
 have to choose from. If anybody else has found anything better (cheaper?)
 that fits those unique needs then let me know!

 Hi All! I'm new to the group as of yesterday and love the amount of great
 info and sharing in this group.  I'm in the process of building out a
 coworking space at the moment and am researching options for furniture.
 I've been looking into all the secondhand stores, but everything seems
 pretty junky and I'd like to have the space be fresh, bright and clean (no
 old lacquer finish chipping off on our forearms, please!).

 Have any of you been able to make connections with someone who will sell
 desks, chairs at wholesale?  Any other recommendations?

 Thanks!

[Coworking] Fresh off the coworking presses, with community as the focus!

2014-07-22 Thread Alex Hillman
Two big (and pretty great) feature-length pieces in the last week, both
featuring quotes from folks across the coworking lands, and multiple
members of our community at Indy Hall.

Nice work to everyone involved :) Links  descriptions below.

Now, if only we could get them to dehyphenateanybody have a contact at
the AP?

*BizJournals Philadelphia - cover story! *

*Also, this bonus behind the scenes of the interview I gave includes a
3000 word transcript, direct copy/paste, from my exchange with the author. *

My hope is that more people can get a taste for how I respond to questions
in a way that helps the journalist tell a story for when *you* talk with
the press. When you just blurt out an answer and hope for the best, ALL
articles about coworking suffer.

*Success Magazine*

This one made me laugh when I got the call for an interview back in the
fall. What an obnoxious name for a magazine. But I was pleasantly
surprised with such a community-centric article. Even if it's got a few
weird 'bloops' in it, it's well cited from a variety of sources, which I
love.

As an aside, Larry Keller, the author of this piece, even visited Indy
Hall. Afterwards, he called me to say *I've never been in a workplace that
felt so right, so welcoming before. It was like walking into someone's cozy
home, but clearly way more productive. You clearly weren't making up the
stuff you said on the phone.*
