Re: [Coworking] Re: Who's shopping for electronic door locks?
Hi everybody, We are considering getting something going based on the Arduino DIY platform and a magnetic lock. Advantages of the platform: open, cheap and extendable. Our requirements: - Remote programable (as in the case for operating 2 spaces) through ethernet or Wifi - Open (eg no proprietary software/platforms/licensing) - Able to drive an electronic lock - Work with RFID tags (and maybe later on with Bluetooth and sms because that's just cool :-) - Cheap - Only used for day-lock, so potential reliability issues are more manageable Regards, Frederik.

[Coworking] % of membership-fee represents rent
Hi everybody, I'm in the process of making some calculations for a fee structure to start coworking in Antwerp (Belgium). I made a complete financial plan and linked this to some membership fees (full, partial and drop-in). Afterwards I calculated what percentage the actual rent represents in these plans. In my case the rent is quite a significant part. Maybe it would a good idea to compare cost partitions in relation to the membership fees to get an idea what is 'normal', given the necessary interpretation off course. In my case (location Antwerp, space of max 25 people) varies from 35% (full membership) to 25% (day pass). Regards, Frederik Denkens.

[Coworking] Blogpost on Coworking in Antwerp/Belgium
Hi all, Although I'm not sure if there's any Dutch-speaking people on the list, I thought it would be a good idea to let everybody know that I took my first step in testing the waters for starting a coworking space in Antwerp in Belgium. It basically quickly describes what coworking is, describes some alternatives and then communicates the process that I'm following in this exciting journey. If we get enough buzz and really interested people, I'll probably go forward with the plan. The Dutch article is here: http://www.coworker.be/index.php/coworking-een-innovatief-werk-concept-in-antwerpen The article also links to a survey.

Re: [Coworking] Let me introduce myself...
Sébastien, too bad you're looking in Antwerp, as I'm seriously considering starting one in Antwerp :-) But somebody told me there is one in Brussels, but I don't know the name. Regards, Frederik.
