Re: [Coworking] Introducing Myself

[gaurav]

Hey Tony,

Still exploring as per the industry metrics but major focus is over ease of 
efforts from customer's point of view. Our customers often like processes 
which are simpler and effort less from their perspective. We can connect 
personally to have an in depth conversations occasionally also to make 
things better for each other.

Re: [Coworking] Introducing Myself

[Tony Bacigalupo]

Welcome Gaurav!

I'm curious: what kinds of metrics do you look at when you're working on
improving your processes?

I'm working on an effort to help coworking spaces shift their mindset away
from "butts in seats" and towards more valuable success metrics, so any
guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Tony

[Coworking] Introducing myself-

[Alex Lassar]

Greetings all!

Joining this group in a somewhat interesting role. I work for a major CRE 
services company (Jones Lang LaSalle) and work with a lot of 
small/growing/startup/tech companies. Myself and others in the company in 
the 'major' tech markets have been studying coworking models for several 
years and have been recommending them to clients regularly. We like the 
model so much we said- what if there were an easier way to get MORE 
coworking spaces into the marketplace?  I am leading an experimental 
project that aims to be an online 'kickstarter' for shared/coworking 
workspaces. Essentially, we are creating a marketplace to bridge the 
'traditional' office space market with the coworking/shared space 
marketplace by providing a platform for normal commercial space listings 
(read: stuff you find on a commercial space MLS that you have to lease the 
whole thing for a long time) to be re-packaged, showcased, priced, split, 
transacted and then subsequently run/managed as shared spaces/coworking 
spaces WITHOUT a master lease/sponsor. You can 
visit http://signup.hirises.co or follow @hiriseRE to find out when we'll 
be launching in your market. We're currently testing our marketplace in 
DC/Mid-Atlantic.

[Coworking] Introducing myself!

[ashley a aspiranti]

Introducing yourself is always awkward, especially online, but I feel like 
an introduction might be in order... 

I'm Ashley Aspiranti, a redheaded coworker based out of Chicago, Illinois. 
I work out of The Coop (www.coworkchicago.com) with the Desktime team (
www.desktimeapp.com) 
and also recently joined the super amazing folks over at the Coworking Wiki 
(http://www.opencoworking.org/coworkingwiki/project)!!!

Quietly, I've been keeping up with this group for a while but now I'd like 
to start actively participating and contributing in your discussions. 
I look forward to chatting with all of you and getting to know more about 
each of your spaces, and coworking experiences.  

Happy Coworking! 

- ashley a.

[Coworking] Introducing myself

[Nick]

Firstly, I need to apologise for posting without introducing myself to the 
group!

I'm the cofounder of abTeamUp - a UK based online service aimed at helping 
business owners to work together through coworking, collaboration and 
referral networking. It's very early days for us but I am a strong believer 
in coworking as a key component of the necessary change in the way business 
is conducted around the globe to encourage sustainable collaboration 
between business owners.

I look forward to following and participating in the discussion.

Thanks,
Nick

[Coworking] Introducing myself to group

[Steve]

Hi Everyone,

I'm Steve and I'm interested in starting a coworking space.  I've been
following the coworking movement from the sidelines for some time now,
but am ready to move forward and see if there is a community of people
also interested in my area.  This would include Erie, Lafayette,
Louisville, Longmont and even possibly Northeast Boulder, Colorado.
Trying to figure out a location the community would be most interested
in.  I am completely drawn to the idea of coworking as a place to
belong and the creative connections that people develop overtime.

My professional background is rooted in back-office financial
operations for cable programmers and broadcast television groups.  I'm
currently leading a great team for a company in south Denver.  On a
personal note, I'm married to a wonderful woman, Emily, and we have a
beautiful little girl, Annabel and our overly friendly Goldendoodle
named Hailey.  My wife and I have talked about collaborating on a
project, or working together, for awhile and starting a space may just
be the perfect thing to start with.  There's also a part of me that
wants my little girl to be proud of her daddy for creating something
that has lasting impact.

We look forward to the community's support and feedback as we start
our journey.

Thanks!
Steve

[Coworking] Introducing myself w@tercooler

[Jenifer Ross]

Hey Everyone-

My name is Jenifer Ross and I am opening a coworking space in
Tarrytown, NY.

If all goes as planned with construction, purchasing, wiring,
outfitting and populating the space, w@tercooler will open its doors
on June 1, 2011. The 1,600 square foot space is located on the second
floor of a nifty 1940's building and will comfortably accommodate
about 35 folks between the desks, shared tables and lounge area. We
will also have a conference room that seats ten, one private office, a
shared kitchen area and, if hopefully by late summer, an outdoor roof
deck.

I've been enjoying the many posts about coworking, and so appreciate
the open exchanges that take place in this group. I look forward to
being more active as my new world unfolds and I have more to both ask
and contribute.

All the best,

Jenifer

[Coworking] Introducing myself, WorkSnug and Social Media Week

[Coworking] Introducing Myself (Nashville, TN)

[MattSheppard12]

Hello to all,

My name is Matt Sheppard and I am interested in starting a co-working
facility in Nashville, TN.  After reading an article about co-working
I became very interested in the idea.  I enjoy connecting people and
feel like a co-working facility would be a perfect opportunity to do
that.

Nashville has a great music scene and is full of song writers.  A co-
working space with a music angle really interests me.  I would be
interested if there are any spaces represented in this group that
presently do that?

I am excited about the idea and just need to get more information
before I move forward.  That being said any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Best of luck to you all.

[Coworking] Introducing Myself - Looking to Collaborate

[Jonathan Kay]

To all those interested in and passionate about co-working -

My name is Jonathan Kay.  I am personally really passionate about co-
working.  I have seen the positive effects it can have time and time
againand frankly i love the community it can create.

I am looking for any founders or managers of current co-working spaces
that are open to collaborating with a cool brand.  I am the Ambassador
of Buzz here at a company called Grasshopper.  It is so important to
us to create an emotional connection with entrepreneurs.  In fact, you
might know as as we created the following Viral Videos about
Entrepreneurship:

Entrepreneurs Can Change the World:http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=T6MhAwQ64c0

The New Dork - Entrepreneur State of Mind:http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=exmwSxv7XJI

I have tons of ideas how we can work together and help what you
already have going on.  I am looking to just start some solid
brainstorming.

I would love to speak with anyone open...you can reach me at
jkay(at)grasshopper.com or 800-820-8210 x 717 or @grasshopperbuzz

Thanks for listening,

Jonathan

[Coworking] Introducing myself

[basterrak]

Hello.

I'm Israel Martínez from Elche (Spain). I work like design and
advertising freelance and me and a freelance friend are looking for a
sustainable cowork center in our city. An important local business man
will colaborate with us because both three believe in this new trendy
idea.

We think our main problem is the size of the city because in Madrid,
Barcelona, Bilbao  Valencia the cowork centers work very well. This
is the reason why we want to adapt the cowork soul to and middle-sized
city but with international airport, 200.000 population (nice
population for Spain-Europe), two universities and an insustrial park.

I will understand completely the coworking world thanks to this group.
Every help you can offer me will be nice.

Thanks Jacob,

After following all of the conversations you have been involved with 
seeing what you have done on your web site/blog, holly mackerel, we have
along haul ahead. But it actually comes with no worries. I do believe it is
the nature of coworking that makes the process a rather easy one.

Scott,

 

You'll find that it gets easier to explain as you find your own identity.
If you could hear how I sounded two years ago when we first opened Office
Nomads, and compare it to how I talk about what we do today, it would be
very amusing.  Try out different things and see what sticks, and what feels
right to you.

I'm Morgan Sully and I run programming, marketing and partnerships for a new
media Lab http://macsddiy.posterous.com/  at Media Arts Center San Diego. 

What I love is that it's in my neighborhood
http://macsddiy.posterous.com/results-from-our-google-mapping-workshop-0
(I live half a block from work), I get to work with friends (we're
partnering with a local FabLab) and I get to work on developing innovative
programing for the space:

*   Google Mapping Workshops
*   Online Fundraising for Your Creative Projects
*   New Media Show and Tells (part of the http://SHARE.dj global
network)

The Lab emphasizes learning and making through digital media. 

We're in seed stages right now, but I'm really excited to solidify our
operations to make this a sustainable, collaborative resource for my
neighborhood.


Cheers from Golden Hill, San Diego,
Morgan

RE: [Coworking] Introducing myself from San Diego, California

[scott anderson]

Would there be an elevator pitch or 30 second commercial of some kind that
I could use when trying to explain coworking? I seem to get so long winded,
because I want to tell them all the cool benefits of working with other like
minded professionals. But if you just have a few shorts moments, things seem
to get lost or left out. You know the dang it, wish I would a said this or
that.   After the fact. We are gathering speed of sorts here in St Cloud,
but get anxious as we need more interested parties to help spread the word.
Maybe it's more keywords to use. Collaboration. Community. Space. Shared
resources. Rubbing shoulders with others. Great coffee.

Scott,

You'll find that it gets easier to explain as you find your own identity.
 If you could hear how I sounded two years ago when we first opened Office
Nomads, and compare it to how I talk about what we do today, it would be
very amusing.  Try out different things and see what sticks, and what feels
right to you.

[Coworking] Introducing myself: Jedi from Los Angeles, CA / Philadelphia, PA

[JediWright]

Hello all-

I'm a Space Catalyst and Coworker, though I didn't realize it fully as
such until today. I stopped in at Blankspaces.com across the street
from my apt, where I met Jerome and got a tour and the low down on his
space (it's a beautiful space by the way).

I've been involved with all this on various levels since 1996 when, at
17, I synced up with a motley crew of artists, performers and others
at one of our old employers properties. Some of us, including the
employers son, co-managed an outdoor adventure company by day and then
gathered together with others afterhours for parties, movies, and then
increasingly so for the common vision of forming a collective, for-
and non-profit group to raise the locals awareness on a number of
topics. While we had high hopes our efforts never moved much further
than our dinner parties and other planning meetings - we looked at
some spaces and drew out some floor plans even but nothing more.

Next was my last two years of secondary school during which I
homeschooled myself but would go on campus to use it's computer lab or
other study/work rooms (this makes me think that study hall is
probably another early model for coworking spaces), then again in
college/at university where computer labs were nearly every other room
(at least the art/design/computer schools anyway).

Then I relocated to Los Angeles and made ample use of Internet cafes,
connected with collectives, and with live/work loft communities like
The Brewery Art Colony, Abundant Sugar, The Do LaB, Sugar Shack, and
most recently, the Catalyst Artist Collective.

Throughout all this time, I've continued reconnecting to the ideals
and themes I helped craft back in the nineties as a teenager, merging
them together with my adult ones in the hopes of birthing something
new.

Also, my experience in event productions, eCommerce, social media
marketing, carpentry and construction, and other related areas lends
itself to my desire to create space for something new on some level.
One of my working concepts is called Floorspace which arose from a
desire for more floorspace to dance at clubs, then morphed towards
more practical uses as I became more active in business.

As Ken said in his intro, it might be that I don't take this any
further too. But I keep bumping into signs along the way that inspire
this desire to be played out as far I can take it.

[Coworking] Introducing myself - Ken from Reigate, Surrey, UK

[logorrhoea]

Hi everyone,

I'm Ken and I'm a 'Space Catalyst' thinking about starting a coworking
space in Reigate, Surrey, UK. I'm currently in a serviced office -
which is great, and definitely cost efficient - but the company
running the shared office are putting together people with very
different jobs, and there isn't a great community feel about it.

I'm currently in the really early stages of trying to gauge the
interest out there for the space, so it might be that I don't take it
any further but I'm looking forward to getting tips from those of you
who have started from scratch in a relatively small town, as opposed
to a city.

Cheers,

Ken

[Coworking] Introducing Myself - New to Group

[CollegeMoneyMan]

I am a consultant and public speaker on the topic of scholarships and
college financial aid. I am at the end of my rope with using places
for free wi-fi and wish to return to a more collaborative and communal
setting with others who are independent.  After looking searching for
information regarding co-working I am considering opening a co-working
environment in my own area.  I am looking to get feedback and advice
on how to go about doing it right.  All comments welcome. Also, anyone
with questions regarding student loans, financial aid , and
scholarships feel free to drop me a line.

[Coworking] Introducing Myself

[Bowden920]

I am the Director of a Non-Profit Organization in the San Francisco
Bay Area.  I have been working out of my place since the program
started, and it is time to move.  My Organization consists of
organizing and planning activities for Disadvantaged Children  Youth
in the Bay Area. I am looking for a shared work space in Oakland,
Hayward, or San Leandro.  Most of my office work is done on the
Computer or by phone.

I would appreciate any suggestions or offers of space.

[Coworking] Introducing myself.

[Marcus Ramberg]

Hi.

Just a quick note to introduce myself.

I'm Marcus Ramberg, and I run the Oslo, Norway based startup Nordaaker
ltd. Among other things, we make the software site http://iusethis.com/.
You can read more about the company at http://nordaaker.com/. We have
just taken over a 150m2 space in Oslo where we're setting up a
coworking environment.  I've put up a bit of information at
nordaaker.no/wiki/Coworking, more to come soon. I've also added us to
the coworking wiki.

Be well!
Marcus

[Coworking] Introducing Myself

[coolpops]

I'm Mark.  My businesses are diverse.  I joined this group to
introduce members to a simple rule that works for everyone.  Its
called The Law of Reciprocity.  It works to ensure that you get by
giving, and causes increase.   This Law can help you raise the money
you need to start or expand your business.

Having been blessed with the capacity to look at a business, see it as
a hole, and see how to improve it, strengthen its top line, and create
a smaller gap between the top line and the bottom line, I am willing
to share my insights with you or anyone like you without charging you
for everything I do.  Ask and it shall be granted unto you.

Hit me up and see if I can help you grow your company.

Regards,
Pops

[Coworking] Introducing Myself: Neil from Brooklyn Creative League

[nfcarlson]

Hi,

I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. My name is Neil
Carlson, and I recently launched Brooklyn Creative League, a new green
shared workspace in Park Slope, Brooklyn geared to freelancers, small-
shop companies and nonprofits. Anyway, I'm not looking to plug my
space--just hoping to connect with folks to discuss shared workspace,
collaboration, and sustainability. Thanks!

[Coworking] Introducing myself and plans for coworking in Prague, Czech Republic

[DaveRuzius]

Hi All,

Dave Ruzius from Prague here. Originally Dutch but have been here in
Prague for a while now.
I've been working in IT and Consulting for 17 years and although I'm
doing quit a few web projects myself I've found out that I'm not that
good a coder :( but seem to be better in talking and bringing people
together.

By luck (or unfortune) I find myself working at home most of the time
on my projects and this is becoming painfull.. As a social person (the
human is not a solitairy creature) I miss the interaction with other
people and sometimes find myself sitting in the shopping centre just
to see some people. (Sad)

Anyway, at the moment I'm exploring options for starting a coworking
space in Prague as there is a large community of independent workers
and creative minds out there that may benefit from collaborating in
real life rather than on the web.

As a start I've created the Independent workers in Prague Facebook
group to get the people together and discuss issues / needs.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=74593553112

I hope to et some positive response and to be able to take it from
there. It will be a long process but hey... I believe worth it.

More later.

CAU

Prague

[Coworking] Introducing myself, plans for coworking in Lancaster, PA

[danielklotz]

Hi, I'm Daniel Klotz. I'm part of a team of people in Lancaster, PA
who met through The Creative House of Lancaster (http://
www.thechl.org), a new and local networking group for all creative
types. We are working out the details on a lease of an incredible
building in downtown Lancaster--the original powerplant, now
beautifully rehabbed--which will house not only a variety of coworking
spaces for 25+ individuals, but also a large coffee shop and separate
performance venue.

I look forward to learning a lot from this group and to sharing our
experiences as we take coworking to the next level in Lancaster.

[Coworking] Introducing myself--from Boulder, CO

[Drea]

Hi everyone,

I am really excited to have found this group. I've been dreaming of
creating a coworking space for quite a while. Believe it or not, I
just learned about coworking as a concept (I know, I kind of lagged on
that one), and am extremely stoked to see that it's exactly what I've
been conceiving of while stuck in coffee shops!

I'm baffled that there isn't a coworking space in Boulder. Is anyone
else from the area interested in starting one up? I apologize for
asking this without thoroughly researching archives, but I wanted to
put it out there.

About me: I'm a freelance writer. Right now, my primary project is
blogging for a popular business blog called BusinessPundit.com. There,
I spew drivel intermixed with facts. I enjoy criticizing Hank Paulson
and celebrating independent thinkers. I encourage you to shuffle
through the blog if you're interested in biz-like topics. I also write
for several magazines and have a book out called The Backroads and
Byways of Colorado.

I sit at home working in my pajamas way too often. I would love to
collaborate and hang with fellow self-employed types. I am chomping at
the bit to start up a Boulder coworking venue.

Looking forward to the process.

Cheers, everyone,

Drea

[Coworking] introducing myself, Jeremy Welch

[Jeremy]

I recently joined the coworking google group and I've made a couple
posts, so I think its time that I introduce myself.

My name is Jeremy Welch and I'm based out of Raleigh-Durham, NC. I
currently work at Ignite Social Media Agency, doing a variety of
things (we're a growing company, so there's lots to do!).

I've already learned a lot by reading through the threads here, and
look forward to contributing in the future.

Also, I've been working on some web tools for coworkers/coworkings
spaces. I talked with a local coworking space owner to understand what
problems he's running into with his space, and started building an
alpha shortly after we talked. I'm a couple weeks out from a beta. As
soon as I get it running, this group will be one of my first stops for
feedback.

Thanks!

[Coworking] Introducing myself: ATL-based, trying to create coworking space

[Blake Perdue]

My name is Blake Perdue (http://blakeperdue.com), I'm a graduate
student at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. I work part-time at a startup
incubator (http://atdc.org). We're trying to learn as much as we can
about coworking, the challenges of creating a space, pitfalls to
avoid, etc as we look to create a coworking space in our office.

I hope to learn much from you all and thank you for your attention.

[Coworking] Introducing myself - Nick in Seattle (Fremont)

[nickf]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the group.  I am
quite new here and a Space Catalyst.  I co-run a web company called
Blue Flavor in Fremont, a neighborhood of Seattle.  I am also the
owner of Digital Web Magazine, an online magazine for web
professionals.

I think I may know a few people in this group, so hello!  I am in the
process of setting up a space at our office, most everything is in
place but we're still adding the final touches, setting up a website
for the space and so forth.

I do have a bunch of questions for the group but feel I am a little
too green to be firing questions off in my first post.

Thanks,
- Nick

[Coworking] Introducing myself and the Coworking Léman community (Switzerland)

[Stephanie Booth]

Hello!

First, let me introduce myself.

Stephanie Booth, pink-haired social media thingy and event organiser
blogging away at Climb to the Stars and now various other places
(http://friendfeed.com/sbooth will give you the best summary). I live
in Lausanne, Switzerland, and as a freelance consultant who's often on
the road, I came to learn about coworking (mainly during my stay last
summer in SF, with Chris and Tara).

I'm somebody who enjoys working from home, but suffers a bit from lack
of structure in my days/life at times. I've also been through phases
of intense work when preparing my conference Going Solo, where I
wished I had somewhere else to go and work than home.

I'm the kind of person who'd like a place to meet clients, and go and
Get Stuff Done 3-4 half-days a week. (And also meet human beings I'm
not necessarily interacting with one-on-one during all the time I'm
with them.)

I've been talking about coworking in my area for some time now, and
found some like-minded people, but unfortunately not enough (and not
enough solid interest) to actually set up a space. One of the issues
that we deal with here (I really think it's a cultural/regional thing)
is that people are not ready to commute much (me included). A
30-minute commute to work is usually considered a long way away, here.
As far as coworking is concerned, that means we need to find enough
interested in a reasonably small geographical area -- and Lausanne,
second only to Geneva around here, is about 150'000 people, 200'000 if
I'm generous (correct me if I'm wrong).

So, not to whine, but the situation here is slightly different than in
the middle of a big metropolis.

Over the last months, I was approached twice with spaces that could be
suitable for coworking, so I started thinking seriously about putting
the energy to gather enough people to start a community here. In both
cases, the space availability didn't work out (funding issues and lack
of existing community to solve them). So, I decided to keep the idea
warm, and work on gathering the community somewhere so that should a
suitable space show up, it would be easy to see if enough potential
tenants were interested.

Coworking, like BarCamp, is a very local thing. But if your local is
too small, nothing much happens. I decided to create a mailing-list
for interested people in the area, the latter being loosely defined
as around the lake. (Lake Geneva, or Lac Léman -- its real name.)
There is also a blog, but it's in a very embryonic state at the
moment.

If you're in Switzerland, or neighbouring France, feel free to join
our group so you can meet other interested people in your area.

http://groups.google.com/group/coworking-leman/

Just now, it seems the tenants of the office space on the ground floor
of my building are going to be heading out by 2009. They've asked me
if I was interested in taking over the space. I'm pretty extatic, as
it seems quite ideal to me: 116m2, calm, accessible by car and public
transport (5 min by bus from city centre), cheap (700$/mo), has a
separate room we can turn into a meeting room, and big windows with
the garden just outside. So, I'm in the process of trying to figure
out if there are enough people in the Lausanne area for me to take the
risk of signing the lease :-)

If there are coworking efforts taking place elsewhere in Switzerland,
I'd be really happy to learn about them!

Cheers

Steph

[Coworking] Introducing myself

[Cheryl H]

Hey everyone.  I just discovered the whole concept of coworking last
week, but have had this exact notion in my head for a long time.  I'm
a writer and writing alone is an exercise in writer's block for me.  I
like to have low level noise, background conversations... anything
except the godawful music that's piped into Starbucks or any other
public space.

I live in Pasadena, CA and have finally figured out what I need to be
productive and it doesn't include holing up and pounding stuff out.  I
always do more and concentrate better if there are other humans at
work around me.  I'm interested in finding a space in Pasadena, the
Valley (Studio City, Burbank, Glendale, North Hollywood) or a second
space in LA, besides Blankspaces.

Hoping to meet and work alongside some of you soon.

Cheryl Holliday

[Coworking] Introducing Myself and Looking into Starting Coworking Space in TX

[BusynessStudent]

Hey Guys and Gals! I just wanted to take some time to introduce
myself. My names Joel and I'm going to be graduating this Friday from
Texas State University. This past spring I was in a class that
required us to start a business. I helped started one and have helped
an other start looking for funding. Early on in the semester I
pitched an idea of a co-op working space before I even knew there was
such a thing. Now that I am about to graduate I have time to start
focusing on my future.  So if anybody is wanting to start a coworking
space in San Antonio, Houston, or Austin I would love to work with ya!
I would have a floor or couch to sleep on in each city. Ive been
working on some financials and hope this coming Saturday to pitch my
idea for coworking space to my family. I know its not going to make me
a millionaire over night. I just want to work beside creative people
who are all entrepreneurs in there own right so that one day I will
find the way to my dreams. thanks in advance for reading through my
horrible writing. I hope to stay in touch.

[Coworking] introducing myself

[CoupleCare]

Hi, i am the cofounder and ceo of a startup called to help couples
have happier stronger relationships. I am ideally seeking space in
return for equity, since i am tapped out in what i spending on
subsistence pay for my enginerer (might need a new one too) right hand
office person, and designer. We were a finalist in the UC Berkeley BP
competition, and have strong interest in our invention by major
healthinsurance companies, and an alpha that couples have loved.

[Coworking] Introducing myself and my project in Londo n - Social Media Café

[Lloyd Davis]

Hi everyone, I'm quite embarrassed not to have been here before, it's
been one of those things that's slipped through my fingers when my
phone rings, e-mail pings or twitter tweets. Mea culpa.

I saw that there was some activity a little while ago - Hi Riccardo 
Lars :)  I'm jumping in here now because I'm able to give this project
some real time at last.

To let you know what I'm thinking in a nutshell.  I want to create a
*social* space in London that is not *entirely* focused on work, but
which helps facilitate work taking place.  The primary space is a
café, a real place in Central London where bloggers, podcasters and
other fellow socialmediatistas (and their friends who think they may
like to be socialmediatistas), locals and out-of-towners, can come and
hang out with each other and with clients, drink coffee, talk and meet
each other.  A place where you *know* you're going to find a kindred
spirit or at least someone who understands a little of what your
talking about.  Comfort and ease is the name of the game - a place to
build offline relationships out of those pesky online relationships.

On one side of this space I envision a more private co-working space
in the spirit of those described on this group - a place for work,
with desks, powerstrips, whiteboards, ethernet cables, printer,
scanner, various cables and card-readers etc. I love the idea I've
seen for cooperBricolage (and doubtless elsewhere) of freelancers
signing up on the wiki and advertising their presence.

In addition, I want another room for training and hiring out for
events  meetings.  A place for blogging masterclasses and micro
unconferences as well as press briefings and product launches and
perhaps screenings and live performances from our more openly artistic
compadres.

The story so far is that I blogged about this here: http://tinyurl.com/23jne9
- you can see the further thinking that's gone on on my blog

And set up a wiki for discussing: http://londonsocialmediacafe.pbwiki.com/

And a facebook group to gauge interest: 
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4068990923
which quickly acquired  250 members, the majority of whom are in or
near London - sorry if you're not on facebook you won't be able to see
that :(

I'm also going to be talking about this at web2open in Berlin next
month and at BarCampLondon3

I'm working up the business plan right now and talking to people about
funding and sponsorship as well as looking for suitable venues.  The
nub of it it seems to me is how soon we can find the right place and
to what extent the various revenues I envisage from these 3 product
areas can exceed the costs of doing business in Central London.  I'm
interested in building a real business that makes a profit for those
who contribute to its success.

I'm particularly looking now for local co-conspirators who can give
time and energy to really make this happen.

All advice, feedback, elephant-trap-warnings are warmly welcomed.

Cheers :)

Lloyd
