Currently, everything is done manually. I give the keys to regular tenants after a while, but for the night, if I have to welcome new tenants, I'm not always on hand to open the door.

Thank you for your quick return Jeannine. People I have consulted so far say that I must be careful with this approach. I just write to corporate registrars to see what is possible.

[Coworking] What operating lease for a mailing address?
Hello. I'm not 100% bilingual. I translated the following with Google Translate. The French version is found below, just in case. - I received last week a particular application and I would like your opinion. I have an entrepreneur who wants to have a mailing address only to my coworking space. It wishes to provide a postal address other than that of his home. I usually provide this service to those who are regular members on site. I do not know how to structure this service. I do not also know what it means to me that the address of my coworking space is disseminated in business registration documents on his side. Do you offer this service? How do you operate? J'ai reçu la semaine passée une demande particulière et j'aimerais avoir votre avis. J'ai un entrepreneur qui souhaite avoir une adresse postale seulement à mon espace de coworking. Il souhaite pouvoir communiquer une adresse postale différente que celle de son domicile. J'offre habituellement ce service à ceux qui sont des membres réguliers sur place. Je ne sais pas comment structurer ce service. Je ne sais pas aussi ce que ça implique pour moi que l'adresse de mon espace de coworking soit diffusée dans des documents d'enregistrement d'entreprise de son côté. Offrez-vous ce service ?

J’ai de l’aide de ma famille, car c’est la bâtisse à mon père. Ils m’aident pour l’organisation des événements. Je pourrais effectivement demander plus d’aide des locataires actuels, ou de leur demander d’imaginer un événement à leur couleur. C’est une bonne idée. Pour ce qui est d’offrir une bourse à une personne ou engager une personne à temps plein, je regarde cela d’ici un mois. C’est la prochaine étape.

[Coworking] How to know a coworking space locally
Hello. I have a coworking space in Quebec City which is away from downtown. I am looking for new ideas to market locally and thus recruit more regular members. It is, more specifically, the small commercial building with my father I quietly rebuke. I hold for the moment the basement. www.niviti.com/espace The advantages of my co-working space are: - Warm atmosphere (that's what people say) - Situté next to a primary school. So balancing family and work for self-employed and start-cartier entrepreneurs. Children sometimes come to join their parents to leave home later - Coaching and Mentoring for Free regular members Here's what I've done so far: - Events: These are small events that brings together 20 people max. People come from all over Quebec. It allows you to know otherwise. I made also with local contractors. - Jelly Day (free for autonomous upon Workers) http://jellyquebec.com/ - Provide Web Visibility (blog, social media, etc.) and mentoring for regular members - Contact local newspapers to talk about my coworking space - what worked Do you have any other ideas?

[Coworking] I am 21 and the cofounder of New Jersey's newest coworking space, JuiceTank
I have been reading a lot of your posts in the last hour and have been inspired that the spirit of coworking has transferred from your physical communities to helping others joining the world of coworking. I'm not as interested in renting out desks (although bills need to be paid) as I am about fostering a physical social network and using our space to serve as the foundation for a community that shares it forward. I am a firm believer that no matter how little experience one may have, there is always something one can share with another person in order to leave them better off. I am eager to learn as much as I can from all of you and thank you so much for all that you have done so far. I look forward to connecting with you! -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.

[Coworking] Booking System compatible with WordPress
We are still growing our facility and have found that people have been more interested in booking our event and meeting rooms as non-members than they are using the facility as a coworking facility or even private offices. We have four areas that are available to be reserved by the hour. I am trying to find a WordPress plugin that I can use to display availability of the areas in our members only area of the website. Ideally, I would like members to be able to request reservations through the system rather than have to add in all the events myself. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Unfortunately, at this point we aren't budgeted for anything that requires a monthly fee.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking article in ... Airtran Magazine???!
Hi guys! I wrote this piece. Of course, as I'm sure you know, there is so much more research information that pretty much every journalist wants to include in an article, and I'm really interested in the sociological aspects of coworking, but this was a straightforward business piece focusing on the big spaces and their stats. One of the most interesting comments from many of you was that you all had very differing views on how mainstream coworking would go. Some of you could see it going very corporate, as you already had many telecommuting corporate coworkers, and others didn't think it would happen or work, because of its community nature. I was thrilled to interview people like Alex, Tim, and the other founders of coworking spaces, who are such fascinating, hard-working, brilliant entrepreneurs and community members. I have coworked at various spaces with friends including Brooklyn Coworking/The Change You Want to See (sadly closed, I believe, due to high rent), which inspired many others to open coworking spaces. I would like to write more about the smaller spaces someday. Would really encourage you guys to pop up to Cambridge Coworking/C3's Venture Cafe or talk to WeWork about their incubator-type program WeWork Labs if you are an entrepreneur looking into a new endeavor. Of course, you probably know about those already from the piece or your networks! I'm impressed by my friends who belong to coworking spaces and at the new ones popping up all the time. Greenpoint Coworking and Projective Space are two that have come onto my radar lately. I don't have a physical copy of the piece either, yet.

[Coworking] Re: Helping Coworking Move Forward - A Weekend Retreat in October
I was super exited to hear about a coworking weekend but was swiftly disappointed to see it taking place in CA. I'm the community manager at Projective Space, a co-working space in SoHo, NYC and I'd love to support/organize/help produce a similar event here in NY. I look forward to hearing feedback from the weekend.

After putting my coworking plans on the shelf for several months, I'm dusting them off for the new year and hope to open a coworking facility this March or April. I plan to have the typical membership levels for different amounts of time use over the course of the month. Does anyone charge a higher fee for having a designated desk in a room with a door and maybe one or two other desks as opposed to a dedicated desk in a large common area? I'm working on the pricing levels for the membership and wanted to additional feedback. Thanks!

Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking iPhone app has arrived! Make sure you're on it!
This is a great idea! I have a question: is the data "baked in" to the app, so changes to data will require app updates, or does it download the data from the 'net?

[Coworking] Coworking space in Linthicum, MD
Everything is moving forward smoothly for my new coworking space in Linthicum, MD (just north of BWI airport). We will have a fairly large facility because we are incorporating event space, conference rooms, private offices as well as open coworking areas. We're targeting a July 2010 opening. :-) Is anyone looking for coworking space in the BWI airport area?

[Coworking] Re: Any coworking groups include WAHMs? (Work at home moms/men)
It's possible then I am really looking at two types of groups within the space I am contemplating. MLM includes so much more than just make- up. Many times strategies that work for one MLM could also be applied to another MLM. Most of them have a need for recruiting and sales, both of which could be expanded on when working with others in MLM. There are many times a certain type of training is well taught in one company, but would also work well in others. This is where a coworking for MLM members would be good. Maybe I'm not thinking of a coworking space at all, but more of a refuge and professional location for those that work at home to sometimes regain their sanity and still be able to work. A place where team meetings could be held, open houses, sales presentations, training, etc. Kim On Mar 21, 9:00 am, "ourspacefortwa...@gmail.com" wrote: > In my honest opinion, I do not believe that MLM companies and there > workers the are best individuals for coworking.

[Coworking] Any coworking groups include WAHMs? (Work at home moms/men)
I've been working with various MLM companies for more than a decade and I've often thought it would be nice to have some place to just go for a few hours a month to get away from the chaos of home. I was wondering if anyone has members like that in their coworking groups? I'm in the very beginning stages of setting up a coworking space. Some of my thoughts are MLM companies could rent group meeting space for training meetings, new product launches, etc. I know sometimes Mary Kay distributors lease office space for their team, but am thinking something like this might be more flexible. Just having a filing cabinet of some sort away from their house could be beneficial. I know I've fallen victim to a three year old tossing papers around more than once. Sometimes it might be nice to be able to meet a potential consultant without having to worry if their house is clean enough or if they can be heard over the general noise of a restaurant. Another question. Do any of you have Virtual Assistant Services available on site?

[Coworking] New to the group Hanover, MD (near Baltimore)
I just stumbled across this group this evening. A friend of mine had been talking to me recently about a project for an executive space in Laurel, MD. I thought it was a really good idea and have been playing around with the idea of doing something similar, but closer to me. I currently own my own company as a Virtual Assistant and work primarily in social media marketing. I've been brainstorming the past few hours and searching the internet to see what other concepts similar to mine were already out there. (Why reinvent the wheel?) So I came across coworking and think it's a fantastic idea! I read about the Coworking Visa project and noticed there is nothing in Maryland, so I thought I could incorporate it into my idea as well. I know there is still a long way to go as this is still in the brainstorming phase and I haven't even begun to think of how to fund it, but I think this is a good place for me to learn from others. I'll probably just read what everyone else has to say for a while, maybe asking the occasional question. Nice to meet everyone!

Re: [Coworking] internal microblogging/private network broadcasting
I feel that this is a bit heavy-handed, technologically, for something like this. I would, as the office manager, in a low voice, simply say "there's a fresh pot of coffee on now." or "we're closing up in 20 minutes" or "who's coming back tomorrow morning?" Just my 2¢. I understand other people have other levels of tolerance for systems as an approach to things like this. My like of "systems" seems to wane as I grow older.
