Re: [Coworking] Connecting Cowork Creators

[Tony Bacigalupo]

Hey Chris!

I've been running a few Mastermind groups through my Organizers Club over
the past few months, and I must say it's been super great.

I hear from a lot of people that it helps tremendously to simply have other
space owners to talk to.

I think every coworking leader should find a way to connect with other
leaders on a regular basis in one way or another!

I would try to find out if there's a Code for America brigade in your
area. You could also search on "civic tech" or "civic hacking" with
some geographic locator info to find other related groups.

HTH, and good luck!

Re: [Coworking] Hosting a Hackathon

[Tony Bacigalupo]

Hey Lauren!

I'll connect you off-list with Jonathan from Major League Hacking–he's one
of the most passionate people I know about running impactful hackathons.

Also: Have you looked into Startup Weekend? Are there organizers in your
city already?

If there aren't, you can apply to be an organizer there. If there are, you
may be able to collaborate with them. In Boulder, we have themed hackathons
which may work for you.

Aside from all of that, you can always DIY. A hackathon can be a pretty
hefty undertaking, but it can also make a huge splash.

You can also do a pretty stripped-down lightweight version of one, too...
you just need to bring together a critical mass of folks who'd be game to
help spread the word and make it happen.

As for who to partner with on the benefit end... I think that's the fun
part! What groups do you already know of that might benefit from the aid of
some bright minds for a weekend?

Tony

[Coworking] Hosting a Hackathon

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi - I'm looking for ideas on how to host a hackathon at our new coworking 
space. I'd like to solve a community issue, perhaps at the County level or 
in partnership with a local university. 

Does anyone have tips for running a hackathon and who to partner with so 
the end-result actually offers a community benefit? What are some of the 
topics/challenges you've posed to the participants? Any tips would be 
greatly appreciated!

[Coworking] Connecting Cowork Creators

[chris]

Hi All,

I'm thinking of creating a network/mastermind group for people who OWN or 
are STARTING coworking spaces (max 12 individuals - for now)...

I've seen a few threads about connecting coworking spaces for members of 
the coworks...BUT...

What about a network for people who are creating coworking spaces? The 
model I have in mind will allow us to talk about the pitfalls, systems to 
implement, and how to build a culture? 

We learn alot from one another and I'm not seeing many resources for those 
of us who are creating cowoking spaces...besides trial and error (which can 
be VERY expensive and time consuming - I know:)).

The intention of the group I'm proposing will be to discuss the method I've 
used to develop and launch coworking spaces and to connect with other 
cowork CREATORS. Woo hoo!!!:)

Format will be;

   - Group call model which I facilitate via screen share. 
   - See and discuss my process. 
   - Collaborate and connect with other people in similar coworking 
   situations.
   - 3 month timeline
   - 1 hour call/screen share every 2 weeks (6 sessions)
   
Would anyone be interested in something like this?


Thanks in advance for any feedback,

Chris
