Re: [Coworking] after 8 years no more coworking at co.up. It was a bigger success than ever imagined.

[Alex Hillman]

“We prefer doing a few things very well over doing everything in a mediocre 
way.”

Amen, and lots of respect for this tough decision. From reading the comments 
it's clear that the community you've built will live on, and has had a huge 
impact on Berlin.

I'm thankful to have had an opportunity to visit co.up myself way back when 
CoworkingEurope conference was I'm Berlin.

Thanks for all you've shared, and I'm glad to know that this is more of a 
metamorphosis than a goodbye :)

Re: [Coworking] Printing Questions

[Jerome Chang]

I still have a main copier/printer lease. I did wish to replace it, but the 
lease doesn’t expire for a while.
We have a pretty high-volume demand for printing so I will keep both

Good to know. Did you have a current printing contract that you got out of 
enough? That's going to be a hurdle, so curious to hear how that went?

Anyone have experience with PrintWithMe. We're exploring options and would

[Coworking] Re: What Coworking Management Software do you love & which give you nightmares?

[Jana Greer - Venture X]

Hey Stephanie! 

I totally understand your position. It seems endless hours can be spent on 
research of software and then testing--possibly finding out it doesn't work 
for you. 

We spent a long time searching for a member management software and picked 
Nexudus a year and a half ago. 

There are several posts on this board about Nexudus. We have be pleased 
with their customer service--every email is hand typed not auto reply. They 
help you consistently and respond quickly. 
We are a franchise and we chose this software over others for its 
reputation (lots of things out there about them) and for the ability to 
customize and do what we needed as a franchise. 
Nexudus gives you a back end (staff) and a front end (members). Booking 
calendar, automatic invoices, large payment gateway selection, works in all 
countries (meaning lots of currencies). I could go on.

Their CRM needs work, it doesn't flow and function the best, so we use 
Pipedrive--which is wonderful. They know their CRM isn't the best--and will 
continue to develop it. 

There is a lot of integrations available as well. 

Take the time to get a trial and talk to them--its worth it! 

Best!

Jana

I have thoroughly enjoyed Cobot for 5 years. They are constantly improving. 
I haven't used any other ones so I can't compare. Here is a very good post

Re: [Coworking] Re: Example Coworking Membership Agreement

[Alex Hillman]

Hey Elizabeth,

We also traded a lengthy legalese agreement for something that focuses
simply on covering the bases on our mutual expectations. The structure is
cobbled together from a few other spaces we've been friendly with, plus our
own flavor & flare :)

[Coworking] Join in European Freelancers Week

[Joel Dullroy]

Hi Coworking Spaces of Europe!

*European Freelancers Week *is happening October 7-15, 2017. It's an open 
distributed conference for all freelancers. Anyone can propose an event 
that brings freelancers together to learn, share and improve their 
independent careers.
Last year many coworking spaces took part by organizing an event on site. 
It's a great opportunity to get your community together.

There are a few ways you can take part:

*- Host an event.* It's really easy. Just pick a date, a topic and submit 
it to the #EFWeek website: http://freelancersweek.org/events-map-2017/

*- Print a poster.* We have A4 and A3 posters ready to download and put on 
your wall. We're even giving a prize to do so! You could win a five night 
voucher at Coconat Workation Retreat near 
Berlin: http://freelancersweek.org/print-poster-win-retreat/

*- Share a tweet. *Here's one we made earlier!: European Freelancers Week 
is on Oct 7-15. Join in to boost your independent career! #EFWeek 
@FreelancersEU www.freelancersweek.org

Coworking and freelancers are mutually dependent. Let's help each other 
thrive!

*Joel & European Freelancers Week team*
*Supported by European Coworking Assembly, Coworking Europe Conference, 
EFIP & more*
