[Coworking] COHO.io in beta
Dear coworkers worldwide, Since my presentation at Coworking Europe Conference in Berlin, my team has been working very hard to create a global online platform of contact sharing among coworking communities. Finally our baby http://coho.io is in its beta version. We are welcoming everyone to ping me if you are interested to test it out and give us feedback and good notes, I will send you an invitation. Thank you in advance! Liu Yan Cofounder of Xindanwei http://xindanwei.com @xindanwei @theliuyan Here is the description of COHO: About Coho: Coho, a.k.a., Collaborative Hosting, is a global platform of peer-to-peer contact referral for startups and creative projects. Why Coho: We are not in lack of people with creativity and good idea's, but we are in great shortage of community that supports and creates leads, channels, scale, impact and resources. Coho allows members to share contacts/leads/human resources based on other member' requests and build a community around them. We hope to connect everyone in the world through the creative projects they are working on. For Who? - Startups and the owner of creative projects - Everyone in the world who want to collaborate with, participate and support the startups and creative projects. How does it work? Coho is not the question-and-answer website. We only focus on the extraordinary people who are open up for collaboration and making things happen to achieve together rather than alone. Instead of answering questions, coho members provide the contact of the Best Person in their own network to help out with the questions submitted. People connected through these questions become contacts that have access to each other's contact information. We encourage questions to be asked in the following format so that others could efficiently understand the real needs in order to introduce the right contacts. As a ... who is working on ... I would like to get connected with people who... so that I could be helped to achieve ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Who Has Community Memberships
Eli, excited to hear about your new development. We seem to have a lot of
vision in common, as xindanwei is moving toward this direction as well - we
will merely use our coworking space to mingle, bind current members and attract
new people and events; meanwhile, support groups and people worldwide by
providing non-space- related-membership-based mentorship, event, connection
support, typically to members of partnership coworking communities outside
china.
Love to build direct partnership with you to see how we could work out some
collaborative projects together.

Re: [Coworking] The Trouble with Open Source
Dear Eli. I want to thank you dearly again for your wise decision a few years ago to make those three books available online for free use. Without them, I would never have time and energy to write a whole new book and turn it into an apps. The day the apps was online, I received a "tweet" on Weibo(Chinese twitter/facebook) saying that there was a map being made for more than 20 startup cafe (Chinese version of coworking spaces) popping up in Shanghai like the mushrooms. I was shocked, pleased and worried at the same time. Shocked? because this seemed happening overnight. Pleased? Someone have recognized the importance of coworking spaces for startups. Worried? In China, there is tendency of copying and making everything quick. Will these spaces disappear in a few months time? I was wishing that my experience in the "Coworking Manual" could inspire these followers so - they understand the coworking business is not a fortune-making business, it takes a great deal of passion, effort and resources to make it last and thrive; - if they realize this, I don't want them to go through our mistakes; - we can have everyone in coworking scene to be creative and active with creating new business models and new approaches so we can get inspired by one another For the long run, Xindanwei wants to change the scene for startups and creative freelancers in China to achieve a greater impact, we need more "competitors" to join the force to make this pie bigger. I guess this is my story from China. I know I don't really answer your question, just want to let you know your effort has made a change to China. :-) regards, Liu Yan I share my own experiences of building us Xindanwei space and community, I On 2012-2-24, at 下午10:28, Eli Malinsky wrote: > Hey everyone.

Re: [Coworking] Xindanwei Coworking Manual downloadable from app store
Dear Raines, Thank you so much for the thorough advice, I will check up the creative commons license in China mainland and make sure it is included in the next version. Basically we want to respect the author's right of "Rigour: how to change a world-changing spaces", and to keep this publication under the same license as requested by its authors. In regards to the translation, it has been truly a headache. The first intention to write this Coworking Manual (Manual, not guide) is to summarize and share our work with thousands of people in China who have been supporting us or even want to become part of us. So naturally I wrote it in Chinese, right before our app development started, our sponsor of the app development - a furniture company called Haworth suggested that we should translate it into English to maximize the impact and they are willing to sponsor the translation cost. So without a second thought, I agreed. But as you have imagined, the translation turned out to be quite imperfect, I ended up spending a lot of time editing it to correct the simple words like coworking, creative commons etc. The time was limited and I rushed to send out a version to our app developer, which appeared, not the final version... I agreed with you about the format of this documentation. My initial idea was in app and PDF format online. But later on I had some argument with my partner about leaving it online in PDF format. I think I still need to push him to get this pdf done in the next version. It was great meeting you too in Berlin last year, wish you all the success with the preparation of Austin Global Coworking Unconference. cheers, Liu Yan On 2012-2-22, at 下午11:32, Raines Cohen wrote: > Liu Yan, > > It was great to meet you at the European Coworking conference in Berlin last > year, and congrats to you and your collaborators on getting this out the door > and in the store. > > I found it impressive to read a book that translates itself with the click of > a button, full of documentation of your fresh approaches and adaptation of > methods in a new platform, a reminder to all of us that if we rely only on > Western culture for ideas, principles, and operating methods, we will miss > many opportunities and innovations and inspirations. > > I've got the same question as Rachel.

Re: [Coworking] Retailers offering free coworking space?
Haworth in shanghai is offering their showroom aka, haworth organic workspace, to the mobile workers for free. They initially asked us to consider to run the space as part of our coworking program, but we thought it is just rather a bonus to our community, not something we love to promote. Reasons: 1, we cannot have a full control of the space in terms of what we offer. The priority of the furnitute showroom/retail space is still to sell furnitures. 2, because of reason1, it is hard for us to allocate resource to run the space and cultivate the community. Hope this brings in more conversations. In ikea china, they don't ban people to take an afternoon nap in their store, but how many people would consider ikea their home? Same thing with coworking, we build community, the retailers build space. -- Liu Yan 刘妍 CEO/Co-founder Xindanwei 新单位 (+86) 021 3428 0783 +86) 135 2429 5509 50 Yongjia Rd, Shanghai,CHINA 中国上海徐汇区永嘉路50号 http://xindanwei.com twitter/weibo:@theliuyan 在 Dec 13, 2011，9:09 AM，Beth Buczynski 写道： > Hello Coworking Group! > > Someone recently told me about a few retailers/non-coworking > businesses in CA that are offering their space to mobile workers at no > charge.

Re: [Coworking] Co-Working in Singapore..
Dear Azon, I cannot stereotype the " typical Chineseness" or "typical Asian" behavior here with a few sentences, but I DO want to support you with all my optimism and strong belief in this: "Sharing is a basic human thing." Comparing to the western folks, we Asian are probably more reserved with feelings and emotions and opinions with the strangers, but once we build trust with one another, we DO share a great deal! (Think about the infamous Guanxi deals, haha) However, just be careful about asking too much from your coworkers before you get them REALLY involved in small community building things step by step: give each other some time, dine out, have a beer and laugh together. They do need to feel a sense of belonging with the community before they open their heart. Moreover, be sure to give/share a lot yourself first as the host, make everybody "own" you something, people will find a way to give back to you. This is just the first step. Don't let everyone overkill YOU with their generosity, they need to be generous to one another. Community building is a slow-process, you cannot expect someone to step into your coworking space and start to open up immediately. But always believe and have faith in your coworkers, they will surprise you. Again, this is not a Chinese or Asian thing. Let's continue the conversation, I am making a trip to Thailand this December, hope I could have chance to visit you soon... Good luck!

Re: [Coworking] Conference Room Use
We have two conference rooms, one for 12 pax, the other for 25 pax. Both of them are included in the yearly and monthly member package to use free of charge 2 hours/day. For hourly members, coffee members and non-members, the conference rooms cost 2.5USD/person/hour with wifi, projector and tea included. Our conference rooms can be booked online, but final approval is done by administrator(our space manager). http://xindanwei.com/service/ We give priority to the monthly and yearly members if there are any conflicts, and for hourly members, coffee members and non-members, we have a card-punching clock to record the usage time, it is a electronic clock where you can stick a stiff card in to record your time to get in and the time to get out, a bit like the system in the old factory for workers to do their day/night shift, we thought it was funny, cheap and useful, up to now, it works just perfectly, costs only 50 USD.

Re: [Coworking] Re: What kind of coffee maker does your space use?
We are lucky enough to be located right next to a street, so we outsource our ground floor (a social and event area) to two girls who are passionate about coffee making, they pay us some basic rent, our members get decent coffee served on individual basis. More please see: http://xindanwei.com/lang/en/service/coffee/ Moreover, we have helped to integrated some of projects of our community members into this cafe like the *Sea-Buckthorn Tea and Poor (aka Pu'er) coffee to make this cafe very unique.* http://xindanwei.com/lang/en/2011/05/poorcoffee/ These two girls who run the cafe also keep themselves focused on coffee making and crowdsourced their cakes to more young people who love DIY cakes, so together they have produced an ever-increasing collaborative menu.

Re: [Coworking] Smelly People
We haven't got any smelly coworkers but there are some folks in our space who made our toilet a mess because they insist to stand and crouch on the toilet ring instead of sitting on it. It is another sensive issue because we simply cannot tell people how to use loo. But the basic rule is giving respect to others, so we stick a friendly reminder on the toilet wall with humor to ask them to clean everything afterwards even they want to use the loo in alternative ways. So if you don't want to face the smelly one with embrassment, maybe u can try a small note or email with jokes or stories to remind him -- Liu Yan 刘妍 CEO/Co-founder Xindanwei 新单位 (+86) 021 3428 0783 +86) 135 2429 5509 50 Yongjia Rd, Shanghai,CHINA 中国上海徐汇区永嘉路50号 http://xindanwei.com twitter/weibo:@theliuyan 在 2011-8-2，上午6:20，Thomas Riboulet 写道： > On Aug 1, 2011, at 10:31 PM, Alex Hillman wrote: > >> I'm glad you got a thoughtul response in private.

Re: [Coworking] Re: What percentage of your membership is made up by women?
At Xindanwei, we have two different kinds of membership: The regular coworking membership, and the coffee membership at the ground floor cafe. Funny enough that the regularly coworking coworking community is made up with 85% women!! And the coffee membership is exactly the other way around, 85% men! Does it mean something? ;) -- Liu Yan 刘妍 CEO/Co-founder Xindanwei 新单位 (+86) 021 3428 0783 +86) 135 2429 5509 50 Yongjia Rd, Shanghai,CHINA 中国上海徐汇区永嘉路50号 http://xindanwei.com twitter/weibo:@theliuyan On 2011-7-7, at 上午6:27, Liz Elam wrote: > I would love to see some real numbers around women and coworking.

Dear Alex, So happy that you took this initiative! I am giving a lecture to a group of MBA's about open innovation tomorrow, have sent your EXACT text to them and ask them to read it (and the coworking book) before attending the lecture.

[Coworking] coworking + quora = ?
Since we launched the New Mentor program<http://xindanwei.com/service/xinguwen/>in our community, with the aim of acknowledging and facilitating the exchange of skills, knowledge and resources between Xindanwei membership and network, we have been asked by many people if we are trying to launch a service in China similar to QUORA. After explaining multiple times that this mechanism is purely to serve the need to the Xindanwei co-working community and we do it OFFLINE, we started to question ourselves: *Why can't we set up a QUORA-alike web service for the community to manage the knowledge within the community and build a online database for the coworkers to document their inspiration, ideas and practices?* Does anyone have similar idea or experiences on this? -- Liu Yan 刘妍 CEO/Co-founder Xindanwei 新单位 (+86) 021 3428 0783 50 Yongjia Rd, Shanghai,CHINA 中国上海徐汇区永嘉路50号 http://xindanwei.com https://gist.com/theliuyan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Location: Old Mansion or Office Building
We moved from a post industrial loft to an old mansion in the heart of French Concession(city center), while the size remains the same, the space is segmented into 7 floors(including a roof terras), which allows coworkers to choose their favorite floors, neighbors and atmosphere, while remains as a big coworking family. The sales went up straight up after we moved in, the space is nearly packed now. Despite some of the con's, I absolutely love the layers, that allows our space to have different possibilities for different activities: coworking space, hack space, formal meeting space, informal meeting space, coffee shop. We are able to use every piece of our space more efficiently(if you have a bit of understanding how expensive the real estate in Shanghai is) -- Liu Yan 刘妍 CEO/Co-founder Xindanwei 新单位 (+86) 021 3428 0783 50 Yongjia Rd, Shanghai,CHINA 中国上海徐汇区永嘉路50号 http://xindanwei.com https://twitter.com/theliuyan On 2011-1-8, at 上午3:42, mark gilbreath wrote: > along these same lines, Cisco has been open about their internal auditing of > "live load" that they conducted ~5 years ago. they found that the typical > utilization/occupancy of an assigned desk or cube was ~35%.

Re: [Coworking] Fwd: how do we cope with our clones?
I agree with you Jerome, my designer was pretty upset to see the icons he designed for our product and service being taken just like that and used under someone else's name. He even told us someone offered him a job to design a coworking website "just like" ours! But contacting each of the clones to urge them to change their copy or design is going to be an everlasting battle, apparently it is not going to stop everyone else, so we have to think a bit bigger to regulate these copying and make everyone benefit from it. 在 2011年2月2日 上午12:59，Jerome Chang 写道： > You know, I've encountered this quite a few times now in my 3 years of > operation.

Re: [Coworking] Fwd: how do we cope with our clones?
Dear Dave, Thank you for bringing out this question. Copycat and cloning issues (in Chinese term: Shanzhai) are indeed quite severe in China. But we have a bit different view on this from the major western mainstream media. Many of us don't see copycats as the big threat to creativity, from many levels, I even believe it creates opportunity to harness the creativity. Here are some researches done by IDEO: http://patterns.ideo.com/issue/shanzhai/ We have invited them to present this research at Xindanwei and the discussion with audience(mostly designers)has lasted several hours long. See: http://xindanwei.com/lang/en/2011/01/shanzhai-design-as-an-open-platform-for-business-innovation-pattern-from-ideo-ideo The consumer electronics industry in Shenzhen of Guangdong Province are the perfect example how all the shanzhai manufacturers collaborate on a mutual beneficial agreement to achieve efficiency and cost innovation. http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/shanzhai-crossing-the-line-from-copying-to-innovation.html One more example is about Copycat of Chines New Year gala performance ( shown on Chinese official TV with selected program), the copycat uses exact same format and design of the official one but opened its content to many talents on internet, it is broadcasted on internet and gives ordinary people an opportunity to be on the "gala show". 在 2011年2月2日 上午12:43，Dave Bunnell 写道： > Hello, > > Meaning no disrespect: here, stateside, we hear constantly in (our) > national-daily-news that copyright infringement of every-kind is of national > proportion where you are in China.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Fwd: how do we cope with our clones?
Alex, thank you for your suggestion. We are aware of the core competency of the business we are in and we are confident that is something that cannot be copied easily. I think my message isn't clearly understood. We are not worried about the copycats, nor feel any threat, actually the clone has copied the content we had last year, our strategy is pretty much altered right now. Instead, I am happy someone is taking the initiative to start the second coworking in China and become our first follower. I am sure there will be more followers like him in the coming year, who will appreciate the concept of coworking and join/support the coworking community. The question really is, how do we regulate the level of copying and turn it into an open learning to make everyone benefit from making the coworking pie bigger, together? 在 2011年2月1日 下午11:37，Alex Hillman 写道： > Whatever makes you comfortable. > It's my understanding that cloning is a fairly common element of Asian > culture (Dave Troy can speak to this much better than I can) so the best > thing you can do is draw boundaries for what elements of the "clone" are > acceptable to your level of comfort.

Re: [Coworking] Coworking Registry Profile Wireframes
I do agree with Alex. I think the interaction among people are the most important part of the coworking space. I don't even care how many desks they have, instead, I want to know what kind of people are hanging out there, and what they do there, and how they get connected with others and why... We are adding a "people"'s feature in our website and editing stories happening here to make Xindanwei beyond just a beautiful space with Art Deco style desks... 2011/2/1 Alex Hillman : > I agree with Jerome on Alt. 2. > The biggest thing I continually see missing from directories like this is a > sort of sense of humanity - physical attributes are useful in determining > what you DON'T want, but make it hard to differentiate between one space and > the next once you know what you DO want. > Is there any room for fields that allow members (and possibly even visitors) > to describe the space's members (or perhaps an idea of industries > represented), interactions they've had, activities and associations, etc? > I'm trying to think of a listing on this directory more like a "dating > profile" where I can get a sense of the personality of a space and its > members beyond "how many desks it has". > Maybe comments serves that purpose to begin, but I'm wondering if anyone has > ideas for other ways to elicit these kinds of non-physical attributes and > store them along with the directory listing? > -Alex > > /ah > indyhall.org > coworking in philadelphia > > > On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 8:34 PM, Jerome Chang > wrote: >> >> Wow - looks great!

Re: [Coworking] Re: Fwd: how do we cope with our clones?
Coworking isn't a big money-making business. I believe the person who started the coworking in Beijing has no intention to make quick money and huge profit. So it really doesn't make any sense to consult a lawyer to sue him. To be honest, we can't even afford it. I believe there is a dialogue needed between us and the clone. We want to let him know that we don't hate our competition and we want to find a way to collaborate if we share values in common. However, it is necessary to have a few guidelines in mind for people like him who sees the value in our model and content and want to use it. So my questions really are: what should be those guidelines?

[Coworking] coworker of the month
Hi there, Our space manager just came up with an idea which i think is very interesting to share with you: Coworker of the Month We are currently running a program called "New Mentor" to facilitate peer to peer support. In order to make better connections for the coworkers, we have established a coworker database system by using highrise and tagging. However, it is still kind of too DRY for us or others to understand the whole personality, vision and passion of each coworker. That is where the Coworker of the Month comes from. Information tell, stories sell. So beside keep on doing simple data collecting, we will be collecting stories from the coworkers and share them on our website and via newsletter. These stories will gradually become the best and the most visible proof of "accelerated serenity". Hopefully it will also help our coworker to promote his/her idea and project. An informal "Xindanwei Chitchat" will be organized for the coworker of the month in parallel to stimulate face-to-face connection. Anyone has been organizing something like this? What is your experience?

[Coworking] How to Collaborate with large tech firms
Recently I have been in contact with several large technology corporations like Google, Microsoft, Cisco and Dell because of the events and projects we have organized before. I think it is very important for a coworking space and creative community to keep connection with these firms and work together. But the questions are: - What can we offer for these large technology firms? - What do we want to get from them? We have a very strong creative tech community in our space: " Magic Society" http://xindanwei.com/lang/en/service/magicsociety/ I think many collaboration can be achieved via this platform. I wonder if there are more means of collaboration with these innovative tech companies out there.

[Coworking] A brief report about the most recent coworking development in China
Hi Coworking friends, I like to share a few important progresses Xindanwei <http://xindanwei.com> has made recently: In August, I was invited to speak<http://www.themobilecity.nl/adaptation/reports-of-designing-the-hybrid-city/session-5a-working-in-the-hybrid-city/session-5-1-coworking-in-the-hybrid-city/>at Design the Hybrid City <http://www.themobilecity.nl/adaptation/> - a conference took place in *the Dutch Culture Centre in Shanghai* that * explored the role of digital technologies in urban design. Together with Xindanwei's partner, Brandigg, a social media marketing firm, we presented the embedding of t*he sharism philosophy based on the notion that sharing leads to a new form of social capital within the coworking community and the concept of MOCO as the future trend of knowledge workers(mobile office, city office). In August, there appears a full length article<http://www.globaltimes.cn/www/476/2010-09/568791.html>in Global Times(a local English newspaper) about creative cluster, in which Xindanwei Coworking along with Pecha Cucha are recognized as the real home of creativity and innovation in Shanghai. In October, I was invited to speak at Sharism Conference <http://www.getitlouder.com/enChair.aspx?ID=84>as part of the opening day of the arts and culture festival GETITLOUDER 2010 in Shanghai, this symposium <http://www.getitlouder.com/EnNewXQ.aspx?ID=90> features thinkers, practitioners and activists whose work concerns and shapes the global movement of a new sharing culture, which has been unified under the ideology of SHARISM. I have presented "The 5 big reasons people needs to start coworking today" <http://www.slideshare.net/liuyan/xindanwei-20101022-ppt>and introduced formally the social capital SHARE which is being developed for the new Xindanwei.com, the online measuring and rewarding system of coworkers' interactivity and the contribution to the community. This week, I am nominated as "Girl 2.0 Female Innovative Entrepreneur" <http://www.girl2.org/program.html>by the Girl 2.0 organizing committee<http://www.girl2.org/about.html>and will give a 3-min-pitch about the new way of working "From SOHO (small office, home office) to MOCO (mobile office, city office)". Slides(if any) will be shared in my personal slideshare.com page<http://www.slideshare.net/liuyan>soon. Next week, Xindanwei is launching the MAKER SOCIETY (in Chinese: Xinchejian), a workspace within Xindanwei coworking space with open hardware setup for hardware tinkers, digital artists, designers, DIY hobbyists and everyone interested in figuring out how things work and are happy to get their hand dirty to build some fun stuffs with some like-minded people.The Maker Society is a collaborative project between Xindanwei, Hack Hotel and Shanghai Makers. Hack Hotel and Shanghai Makers are two groups of digital artists，engineers and designers who are coworking in Xindanwei and have hosted numerous talks, workshops and performances here. Maker Society will provide workspace for people to work on projects, organize workshop and courses on various subjects ranging from electronics, embedded system, and programming and host speakers and workshop session. Also, Maker Society will act as fund raising and supporting platform for people interested in prototyping their ideas and launching new projects. Maker Society is the first of its kind in China mainland. I hope some of the concept we are introducing to China is relevant to you as well, especially SHARE as the social capital current and MOCO as the future scenario of coworking. Love to hear feedback from you and have further discussion on these topics. -- Liu Yan 刘妍 CEO/Co-founder Xindanwei 新单位 (+86) 021 3428 0783 (+86) 135 2429 5509 50 Yongjia Rd, Shanghai,CHINA 中国上海徐汇区永嘉路50号 http://xindanwei.com https://gist.com/theliuyan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Free Days
We have run free hour @ Xindanwei for three month from April to June, the most successful one is in June: " Take as many friends as you like, you may work the equally amount of hours for free". A team of 5 people were at Xindanwei, and they worked 5 hours for free. lol I don't know if this kind of tactic will work in other country, but it did work in Shanghai ;) Even the local newspaper " Oriental Morning Post" has written a half page about us because of this promotion. We have tried the donation box at the entrance for some free event, but everybody pretended not to see it...lol I guess it doesn't work here... regards, Yan -- Liu Yan 刘妍 CEO/Co-founder Xindanwei 新单位 4C,Bld 4, Dingxi Rd 727, Shanghai,CHINA 中国上海定西路727号四栋4C (+86) 135 2429 5509 @theliuyan @xindanwei http://xindanwei.com On 2010-8-7, at 上午11:38, Tara Hunt wrote: > Citizen Space has always had free drop-ins.

Oh I didn't know that you guys and the Hub are the same group of people. lol Yes, I will for sure visit the Hub venues in London, and be glad to host a Hub lunch around Social Innovation in China. Just choose a date(between 17-20 april). I have had contacts with Meera and Emily before and they both have been in Xindanwei and know us well.

Re: [Coworking] Re: SXSW Coworking Takeaways
Really interesting and high level dialogues happening here! David and Danielle, I can't agree with you more. Coworking is truly a mentality which is beyond the restriction of location and facilities although it is the fact that co-location and technology has made coworking possible and sustainable. I don't see the conflict between technology such as odesk and the coworking location, in fact, I think it is a great tool which can be embedded in the current coworking virtual platform. For many of the coworkers, this is just another tech choice to achieve self actualization. Liu Yan 2010/4/6 WHERE MMM > I love this angle David.

Re: [Coworking] Space Opportunity
David, I had exactly the same concern as you when we were approached by a respected design agency and told that they would like to rent half of our coworking space. Luckily they started by organizing a few meetings in the space first so that we could secretly observe their attitude toward the our existing community, what we have learnt is rather disappointing: it seems that most of these people are under stress and very demanding at the same time. They didn't care much about our rules and social norms, either.
