for-profit,I would love to connect with you.

Would you be open to outsiders attending your conference?  We are the ONLY
coworking space in WV so I have little to work with and would love to
connect.  Plus any excuse to come to Maine is a good one.

Jamie

I am currently involved with the startup of space in Huntington WV. We are
probably about the same size, 50,000 and would love to participate in your
study.  Feel free to contact me directly.

Re: [Coworking] Business Insurance

[julie]

Thank you for the reply Alex.  Your response highlights that we have an 
insurance agent just not getting the business model.  We were advised to 
set up our agreement with members, as opposed to tenants.  But our agent is 
viewing them as tenants.  Time to go back to the agent

thanks, Julie

[Coworking] Business Insurance

[julie]

As we open MalamaDoe, our insurance agent requires a copy of each member's 
Certificate of Insurance.  Pretty straight forward for folks who have a 
business, BUT what about telecommuters working for a company?  This CPA 
telecommuter does not own a business and, hence does not have business 
insurance.  She is the ONLY telecommuter at her company, so she and her 
company have no experience securing insurance or statement of coverage 
applicable for coworking.  What can you suggest?  How do you handle 
certificates of insurance for telecommuters?  Julie

[Coworking] Closing my space, what to do with website traffic?

[Julie Scanlon]

Hello everyone,

I am writing to share my news that Collab Space in Costa Mesa CA will be
shutting down July 31.  I have a nice website that brings 3-5 calls per
week from interested nomads.  Any idea what should I do with it??

The reason I am getting out, at least for now, is that I have not been
available to focuse enough on management and marketing.  It needs more time
and focus than I have to give, I have another full time business. But I
have to say, pretty much on its own momentum Collab Space did become a nice
little enclave of small operators, but its not quite viable on autopilot.

I also want to say THANK YOU to this uniquely generous and bright community
for sharing your dreams, insight and practical advice.  It takes a big
heart to do what you do, the collaboration labor of love, I have a ton of
respect for that.

My best,
Julie

Re: [Coworking] Vacation & Coworking hotspots?

Hi Aliza,

Have you picked a spot yet?

I say come to Southern California of course!  I was born in Delaware,
I am ready for visitors from back home out here at Collab Space in
Costa Mesa.  And it's just a little drive to LA where the community is
diverse and thriving.

Re: [Coworking] Regus & Elance "partnership"

[Julie Scanlon]

They offer an affiliate program for linking elance on our websites,
but it would serve their and our freelance clients to inform everyone
about coworking as well as elance type resources.  Is that not
fostering healthy business all around?  That is what I thought Will
was pointing to, I don't think having elance look more like coworking
was the goal.

Elance could promote mutual collaboration, just provide a link to
directories of coworking spaces on their site, newsletters.
Loosecubes, Liquidspace, worksnug, deskwanted, shareyouroffice, the
wiki etc.  Unless they have made exclusive arrangements with Regus
which would diminish their credibility for me.  We are an extremely
valuable resource.

Here in Orange County a structure for finding, doing, keeping, and
growing freelance work would be a large part of what I think coworking
is here to do.   Provide environments where freelancers succeed so
their families, associates, clients - their communities - thrive.

Re: [Coworking] Regus & Elance "partnership"

[Julie Scanlon]

The people who use elance - the freelancers - are the community i am
thinking of, i should have specified.   The folks in my space are
sometimes veterans of elance.

Re: [Coworking] Someone deleted ALL files from Coworking EU Bar Camp folder

[Julie Scanlon]

My resident geek expert says: "As far as I know I don't think anything
on Google is deleted permanently. I would have them contact Google
directly to see if they can restore the folder."

This is definitely good experience for us to have, will be interested

Re: Coworking & childcare/ Re: [Coworking] Cubes and Crayons

[Julie Scanlon]

Yallabina ey?  That's a beautiful word.  Do you have a website with
pictures of your hub?

In college i studied early childhood development, with the ambition to
create day care centers in businesses.  I got sidetracked from that
for years while working from home in a different business with my son
in home-school.  But since I have just opened a coworking space (in
Costa Mesa Ca USA) we have been looking at building it into our
design.  I imagined a place under the same roof but separate with
trained child care providers taking in the children.  The child care
facility could have better rates for coworking membership.

I would like to know if dads are interested as much as moms.

All week I have confronted my nearly empty coworking space.

I opened Collab space because of a passion for collaboration, sharing,
empowering people so dreams come true, all that but I loose sight
of why I am doing this and loose my steam, because I don't know my how
and what.   Anyway, all week long I have been so looking forward to

[Coworking] Re: Coworking "OfficeXpats" is open on Bainbridge Island

[Julie Scanlon]

That's cool, I think perhaps we are destined to be friends, i just met
someone who knows you/your place, he sold me a great mid-century chair
for the space, found him on craigslist and told him where the chair
was going and he said he knows a coworking place in Washington.  Dan
Jacobs over in Newport Beach, remember him?

Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking, Orange County - our web site

[Julie Scanlon]

Thanks Chad,

I think that i am wearing all the hats here in the beginning and i am
looking for quick solutions, i think Alex keeps gently directing the
team approach in this group but my old patterns play out anyway.  My
team is me and my man right now, thankfully he is an incredible
partner.

I'll have to take a look around for who else may like to play this
game with us - when i get a minute!

Seriously though, i heard a quote about human flight, that flying did
not care who invented it, it just wanted to happen.  I think coworking
is like that and that it came into my head rather than out of it.
Part of my proof of theory is almost every day i find the answers here
from you all to the questions that popped into my mind but i did not
even ask.

Why do i want to start a coworking space?  Because of the magic of
collaborative work.  I just want to be an instrument for it.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking, Orange County - our web site

[Julie Scanlon]

Thank you Angel,

Here is the link to my site.  www.collaboc.com

I was thinking i would put a version on the wiki as a resource for new
spaces to borrow.  Its drupal based and should be fairly simple to
modify.  They could give it their own personality.  Seems to me an
easy way to put our spaces on the web is one thing that would make
life so much easier.

I am working on the docs for those links that will go to our
membership agreements,  that's another reinventing the wheel area.  I
thought maybe i asked you a long time ago but i want to be sure, is it
ok with you if i modify the one you provide on your site but make sure
it suits our place?  You have a really thorough agreement.  I had made
a list of things to put into my agreement and i find them all there.
I would have my lawyer double check it for California.

Or i could go with  - dont be a jerk and pay your invoice on the 1st.
Thats a good one too i think Indyhall uses.

I appreciate what you create and the huge generosity of your work.

If you need anything from me out in CA let me know.

OfficeXpats,

That sounds wonderful, i have been up to visit my bff in Bellingham
but not yet been to the islands.  We will have to drop by next visit.
And i will let her know about your space, she knows people everywhere.

We just opened in Costa Mesa, CA by the John Wayne airport.  Will keep
an eye out for updates from you here as we journey

Re: [Coworking] WorkSnug Podcast: Benefits of Coworking

[Julie Scanlon]

Nice interview.  You have a good presence and make benefits of
coworking clearly available.  The impact of your story of the guy who
lost his job is very powerful.

Funny intro song. -- I'm wired for disconnection?
Thanks for this.

Re: [Coworking] Smelly People

[Julie Scanlon]

I think its just reflex to use humor when human beings feel this sort of
discomfort.

Maybe the bathroom could include some sort of expanded wash up facilities
and let that speak for us.

My father in law used to tell his son his "shirt" smelled bad.

For the future, how about mentioning hygiene in the house rules?

[Coworking] HELP! liability insurance:(

[Julie Scanlon]

How did you manage insurance coverage for landlords?

We are just at the last point of negotiation for the space we are leasing,
they are insisting on language saying that "Leasee and all members shall
obtain and keep in force a Commercial General Liability policy protecting
Lessee and Lessor..."I think if i had to require this insurance we would
only be sub-lessors to full blown businesses - that would be pointless.  How
can we have this work?

I have a general liability policy. My lawyer and I are creating the
membership agreements that will have more assurances regarding liability
protection.  He said my agreements must include a waiver of liability, with
the member agreeing to hold harmless language similar to that of a gym
membership for short term clients, and if they are long term they will have
to provide certificates for business insurance coverage.

I am in Orange County Ca.  Any ideas?

Thank you!

[Coworking] souk's closing (portland)

[Julie]

souk will be closing its doors on July 31, 2011.  Thank you to
everyone who comprised souk’s community.  Look out for tweets
@soukportland over the next month where we’ll celebrate people and
group highlights from the last 5 years.  Please share your highlights
too.

For the curious, we are closing for three main reasons:

1.  Our family has recently moved to Bend, something we’ve been
working towards for several years.   My attention is now focused in
Central Oregon.

2.  We suddenly had several, small companies – anchors of our
membership – graduate from the space.  This has been a positive move
for them, and we are happy to once again have been a place where
nascent companies start small and flourish; it’s just one, proud part
of what souk had to offer.

3.  Our lease comes up at the end of this year.

Our relocation, along with significant membership graduations that
will require huge investment and attention to rebuild, and a lease
that expires at the end of this year, leads us to the decision to
close our doors.

If someone is interested in taking on this space-model of build, grow
and graduate small companies as well as nurture individuals, I would
love to discuss that with you and share what we’ve learned.  I will no
longer be on point to do this at souk, and for souk, but it doesn’t
mean the concept (or a version thereof) can’t live on under someone
else’s guidance.

We are grateful to all who have joined us on the forefront of the
growing movement of coworking.  I intend to continue to lend support
and connections to the wonderful entrepreneurs, the tech community,
creatives, and those who simply want to participate in community both
through my board work and through all the great coworking spaces out
there, http://wiki.coworking.info/w/page/29303049/Directory.

Between now and July 31st we will be offering our desks and Herman
Miller chairs for sale.  The lease to our 5000 sqft, light-filled,
great space is also up for grabs (expires Dec 1, 2011), and I will
gladly facilitate negotiations with the landlord if you’re interested
in taking it over.

Cheers.
Julie

[Coworking] Groofer: Use 'group smarts' to find the most relevant news

[Julie Bohannon]

Hi everyone,

I thought some members of this group might be interested in Groofer
(http://www.groofer.com), a free professional productivity tool that
uses 'group' smarts to automatically get the most relevant news.

The simplest way to describe Groofer...is a group RSS reader, where
the group interaction helps determine the best news and blog articles
for a given interest or topic.

Groofer is not meant to replace an existing group (like this one) -
but supplement the group with a discussion around the the latest news.
We invite you to find out more (http://www.groofer.com). And our
apologies in advance if you find this note 'spammy'. That was not my
intent, I thought this group genuinely might be interested.

Thanks, Julie

Re: [Coworking] Coworking for Small Companies (2-3 People)

[Julie K. Clark]

For coworking spaces that are not set up in regards to size or business
concept to accommodate small teams of employees, you can always refer them
to us at SharedBusinessSpace.com and we will help them locate affordable
space options that match their coworking goals and space needs.  We fully
understand and appreciate that shared office space does not come
anywhere close to the benefits of being part of a collaborative coworking
community.  Small companies may have to compromise on this depending on what
is available in their city.  SharedBusinessSpace.com is a national listing
directory of shared spaces for lease.

Coworking rules (!!) and we are happy to support this group in any way we
can.  One way we do that is by offering all coworking communities a free
listing on our website at all times.

[Coworking] Thanks!

[Julie K. Clark]

Desks Near Me - thanks for the Twitter follow!  Looks like you guys are off
to a good start, congrats!

SharedBusinessSpace.com also supports the growth of coworking communities
across the U.S by sending them leads for new members. We are pleased to
provide leads to those communities that have listed with us so far.  Our
business to business listings generate great leads from startups,
entrepreneurs and small businesses looking for workspace that often
times end up being a better fit for the growing number of coworking spaces
available in their city.

We are offering a fee listing at
https://www.SharedBusinessSpace.com<https://www.sharedbusinessspace.com/>to
all coworking spaces interested in receiving new membership leads from
us.  Feel free to drop me a "Hello" email at ju...@sharedbusinessspace.com and
I'll be happy to set up your listing.  We are re-launching our website with
a new look and added features as well as getting ready to launch outside the
U.S.

I missed all the beer talk earlier today, but I'm about to crack one open!

Cheers!

[Julie of souk]

We do offer drop-ins, but have/have had very few of them--so, not
enough to have that variety flavor to which Tony alludes.  On the

[Coworking] Re: Coworking on Bainbridge Island, WA

[Julie of souk]

Or, what about reaching out to the biz school?  Coworking and
sustainability dovetail nicely, plus working with a university will
have its benefits in terms of an existing community and support in
getting out the word.

[Coworking] Re: IndyHall 201: Coworking and Communities of Trust

[Julie of souk]

Dude, is the rest of this community chiming in to these gems?  They
oughta.

Some comments on this coworking snippet (?):
-To Geoff's point about the fact that members do different work, but
work side by side, presents a challenge, so too does the fluctuating
nature of the community built into the model (e.g. most members have
options of month to month - though we've NEVER had anyone join for
just one month).  Still, there is turnover with which to contend, but
there are also ways to integrate newbies (topic of next snippet?).
-When members help shape how the space operates (ownership), that
builds trust.  A stake, if you will.
-As members see communication between space owners + coordinators and
their members as a 2 way street, that builds trust.  (e.g.  Hey,
here's what we can provide members, and in turn where we could use
help.  We also hear what you need and thank you for what you can
provide/where you can participate).

[Coworking] Re: Review of "I'm out of here" and general post about coworking

[Julie of souk]

Interesting stuff going on here.

"Can it cross the chasm, and go from being a marginal counter-cultural
trend to a mainstream model of work?"

Alex and Geoff from IndyHall in Philly can answer in more detail, but
judging from their experience and direction, the answer to that is
yes.  Perhaps not with every space, but certainly with them at this
juncture in the "movement".

And to speak in some generalizations:  The popularity of Cubes n'
Crayons in Bay Area echoes one of the fundamental problems of the
traditional workforce which is its inability to afford life balance
for those who make the move to have children.  Those then, therefore,
leave to blaze their own path, more likely drawn to community and
support in doing so.  I believe there's more than a kernel of a new
model of work going on there.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Basics FAQ and One Sheet

[Julie of souk]

Great idea!  I'll link to it in our next newsletter.  So nice to meet
you two in Austin and as a thank you to Alex, Geoff, Matthew, Tony and
Susan for the opportunity, keep your eyes peeled for a package filled
with coworking's official, secret recipe treat I've dubbed "co-
lahchies".

Your contributions are invaluable.

Kevin,

Congratulations!  Texas is really rocking with spaces now:
Conjunctured and Launchpad in Austin, Caroline Collective in Houston,
etc.

Sounds like you'll be well-positioned to reach out to the university
and its biz/entrepreneur programs.

[Coworking] Re: Questions about coworking models

[Julie of souk]

Great insights here, as always.

I echo the point that it is more gray than anything.  So much is
determined by the motivation of the owner(s)/founder(s).  What is it
that you want to achieve?  Why?  Then how?

We had and continue to have several motivations, and here are a few:
1)  creating community and support for a new workforce that runs the
risk of isolation once they've broken free of " 'da man"
2)  creating a space for education, workshops and connection (aka
networking)
3)  definitely also wanted to start a business (my own personal
challenge)

In terms of making a profit vs. breaking even, I'm guessing no one is
psyched to lose money, and most are happy making just a bit of money.
Specifically though, in answer to your third point, souk fits into the
two models down the middle in that we make some money, but also play
that "connector/booster" role.

Julie Duryea

I replied to you yesterday, but am not sure why it didn't post.

Check out The Cigar Building in downtown Bend.  It's a mix of private
offices, counter work area, a few cubicles and a meeting room.  Can't
seem to locate a website for them, however.  Start with google?

[Coworking] Re: helpful hints on getting people to actually sign up!?!

[Julie]

Heather,

Just to be super pragmatic on the computer groups, search barcamp on
google and see where that gets you.  The programmers come together via
"camp", which are "unconference" conferences.  See if you have one
coming up in your area.  For example, we have barcamp, wherecamp, etc.

Any events you do have, post on upcoming.yahoo.com.

Finally, it's best to be involved with a broad audience at first, but
within the first 1-2 years, you'll be able to identify your niche
membership.

Good luck!  It's not easy ;)

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Visa Questions

[Julie]

Alex,

Awesome to hear the visa is being used!  By participating, each space
that receives a member from another space allows that member to work
for 3 complimentary days, period.  Beyond that, it's up to the space.
We agreed on that for sake of ease.

[Coworking] Re: internet access at coworking spaces

[Julie]

Tony,

Would love to talk to you about wifidog some time before SXSW if not
before.  What's the best way to get on your sched?  Just looking at
your screenshot, looks like an efficient, automated way of tracking.
We do manual sign-ins and process on paypal (similar to Alex, it
sounds).  We have a wifi password that all members have, of course,
and we just provide it for drop-ins too.  We change that password
every couple of months.

Congrats!  I second Tony's question - is this space 2, or refining of

[Coworking] Re: Intro: Patrick Keenan & THE MOVEMENT

[Julie]

Patrick,

Very KCRW feel (station in Los Angeles).  Nicely done.  Can't decide
whether I would have liked you to interject with context setting, or
it's more powerful splicing everyone's mini descriptions of their
space.  Either way, once again it adds to the buzz of the movement,
proving not only its effectiveness, but it's inevitability.

[Coworking] Re: reception and noise

[Julie]

Our space happens to be chunked up layout-wise so that there is a
"receptionist" area, though it doesn't function entirely like a
receptionist in that we don't forward calls or anything.  Members
works on cell phones.  There are land line options in our conference
rooms.  The phone at reception is for fielding inquiries and the front
door during the hours we're here.  The phone does ring, but I'm enough
up front where it's not an issue for members working in the back.  I
am that "receptionist", as well as the janitor, LOL!  All the hats we
wear ;)

I like that idea a lot.  Thinking you might get questions on

you're looking to get a feel for the pricing, it would be good time to
test out comfortable ranges for folks.

Hey All,

This just came to me from PariSoma in SF, it's a sample link of how a
coworking site might be listed (in this case, souk)
http://www.shareyouroffice.com/index.php?page=view_offer&id=418.

Thought I'd add it to the pool of discussions around coordinating

[Coworking] Re: Additional ways to get movement in your space...and other cool stuff

[Julie]

Local art in a coworking space is win win.  First Thursday is a
pedestrian art night in our neighborhood and we stay open that night
for the artist whose work is on the walls that month.  We've been
doing that since we've been open.  Can't say it's translated to
business, but that's not why we do it.

[Coworking] Re: Large Vacant Factories

[Julie]

Axon,

Would you be willing to share your thoughts on expansion plans and the
justification behind them?  Scale seems about the only way to make
real money with coworking.

The successful spaces I've visited are very "mom and pop".  What are
your thoughts on opening in a community with a product that wasn't
born from the community (e.g. My Day Office)?  Thoughts on expansion
vs. beefing up coworking visa?

Nice start.

Quick 2 cents:  Provide a list of people with "letters of intent" to
join such a space.

Good luck!

Tara, thanks for sharing the rules.  We compiled rules from member
input and posted them in the space on a mobile whiteboard.  Yours,
however, cut to the chase in a charming way.

Tony, I'm with you..NASA say what?

[Coworking] Re: Understanding Free Access

[Julie]

Dawn,

Your model of giving time back to the community for payment was
pioneered (according to my limited research and contact with) by The
Hub in London.  The mind bank concept is very interesting and I look
forward to your updates on it.

[Coworking] Re: Understanding Free Access

[Julie]

We offer "one free trial day" cards.  We also have daily drop in rates
of $25 (used to be $10/hr, but walk/drop-in was, and has been since
the rate reduction, an EXTREMELY negligible part of our business).
One needs to run the numbers as to whether or not it makes sense,
particularly because some kind of "staffing" is required for drop-
ins.  I think it's great when you first open to have bodies around
(for free - friends are good), but really, monthly memberships will be
what sustain you.

Do keep in mind that location will make a difference to your drop-in
traffic.  Busy part of town with lots of professionals vs. being
tucked further away, esp. from public transportation.

Wish you the best of luck.
