Re: [Coworking] Former Member/"Graduate" Membership?
We launched a membership like this a little over a year ago - nearly 10% of our members (and growing) are now on our community membership. It's a mix of people who have full time jobs and aspire to do their own thing, and people who have graduated and want to stay active in the community. It's helped a ton with retention, as well as showing people that you don't need to wait until you need a desk to join Indy Hall. I wrote a bit more about how we came up with this membership and how we've communicated it here: http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2015/10/the-ultimate-guide-to-structuring-your-coworking-space-memberships/ -Alex On Monday, November 16, 2015, wrote: > Did a quick search and didn't find any discussions on this but please > share a link if there is already one.

[Coworking] Former Member/"Graduate" Membership?
Did a quick search and didn't find any discussions on this but please share a link if there is already one. We have thrown around the idea of launching a former member package that allows people to still access the community and share their experiences (think mentor network), receive same access to events, discounts on bookings, etc. Wondering if we would make it exclusive to former members or welcome non-members who just want access too.

[Coworking] Children in a coworking space
Hey everyone! Just wondering what everyone's policies are on kids? It hasn't been an issue before but recently we have had people come in for events and leave their 4/5 year old unattended in the space. I'm torn because I know its difficult for single mother entrepreneurs to find childcare (its expensive and its inconvenient) but at the same time a) an unattended child can easily hurt themselves on tables/running into things, cords, heavy doors b) a lot of members have their expensive tech on their desks which easily break if knocked over and c) they are often loud and disruptive. In addition to that, one of the events involved 100+ people and alcohol, which is a big risk area for a small kid. We don't have a dedicated area for children, and as far as I know there is nowhere around here for daycare. How do we stop kids coming (and how do we manage it when they are already here)? I'd love to know everyone elses policies on this!

Haven't used that app but our system, Nadine, does that as well.

[Coworking] Re: iPad Receptionist
Hi Todd, If you are using Nexudus, you can use the iPad app which comes with it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nexudus-spaces-check-in-for/id933010341?mt=8. Not as feature-full, but it will let you collect visitor information, add it to your subscriber list or MailChimp campaigns and pull visitor reports showing you when and how many times each visitor was in the space. You can also use it to check members in and out, let visitors browse the member directory and message them from within the app to let them know they are at the front desk.

[Coworking] Hey Mr (and Ms) DJ!
I wanted to put this question out to the brain trust. Anybody inspired to share your kickest-butt coworking playlists? There have been threads about what music services people use (Spotify, Rdio, etc.), but I haven't seen anything about exactly *what* we're listening to. I know that work music taste is very personal, and sound levels need to be low so as not to overwhelm. There are tons of pumped up workout playlists online, but I haven't seen as much for "brain work" workouts. This seems like the perfect curatorial job to crowdsource! What the best site for playlist sharing these days? And what's your favorite playlist, either for headphone use or room-wide? This is for a new micro coworking experiment in Brookline, MA that we're calling WorkShop. I'm working on this alongside Lisa Wasserman Sivan, an architectural and interior designer (and long-time coworking enthusiast) who has created a fantastic space within an amazing historic building here. Lisa is connected to tons of independent professionals in town who have been waiting for a place to work within walking distance of home. We'll see where the wind takes us!

Greetings: Has anyone used "The iPad Receptionist" to run the front office for their space? THis looks like it could fit some of the things we have been looking for here, but didn't want to drop the cash until I heard feedback from others. https://theipadreceptionist.com/ Any other ideas if not this?

[Coworking] Re: Slack for Coworking
We at have a space co-up.de that spans two floors, so for us Slack serves as a way to to keep the communication stream flowing between the two floors. We also have a few integrations that work with Cobot.me. First we use Cobot's add-on to automatically invite new members to our slack channel so that it isn't a second process. Second, we give a little questionaire (including favorite funny gif) to our new members and that information is then funneled onto the Slack channel. This gives an immediate welcome and entry for new members coming into the space. Brian On Tuesday, September 15, 2015 at 7:32:11 PM UTC+2, Gregory St. Fort wrote: > > Hey everyone!
