[Coworking] Re: Coworking website that isn't a wiki?

Hey Nick, All of this makes me scratch my head a bit. I've been one of the MULTIPLE people behind this movement for three years now and, I think the others will agree, the following questions don't really apply: - Who can I talk to about coworking? i.e. who is our press contact? who is the subjec

Hello, My named is Dennis Diones and I'm a computer scientist at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) in Hampton, Virginia. I was introduced to coworking through NASA Ames colleages in the Bay Area in California. Ever since I experienced coworking, I attempted to get sessions started at NASA LaRC

Whew, did it get hot in here? (Cue Rodney Dangerfield loosening his tie) This thread is a perfect case study in one of a starfish organization's biggest weaknesses: collectively making a decision. I think the solution, therefore, is to avoid paths that would require the general consent of the star

[Coworking] Re: Trying to start coworking in Orange County, CA

Hi, all - I work from home as well and often miss working in an office with others. I'm considering coworking in the Truth Santa Ana location, but would love something much closer to home (Laguna Beach). I'm not sure how these things start up but If something does happen closer to home I'd love

Raines-- Our model is somewhat different from some of the proto spaces. We have four resident desks in our existing offices, but in Uptime itself, there are no residents. All members are on an ad hoc as needed as available basis. Right now we can very comfortably serve 30 concurrent users at a

[Coworking] Re: Coworking website that isn't a wiki?

All-- I threw up a ning for Uptime so I'd have a place for people to go to learn more about it. Over time, folks have joined the site, not just members of Uptime, but other people interested in it (like Ken, from Tampa, who posts here as well). Whenever anyone has a suggestion for the site, I j

Odd. I haven't heard anything about egos. I just want to be sensitive to everyone's needs here. And I want to make sure this is done right (I'm certainly not upset - just very cautious about moving forward with this).

Oh...and FYI... http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/coworking is where everyone is supposed to be putting their links to press (whether it is a blog or a traditional media source) about coworking. It currently feeds into the sidebar. We can make an entire page of these. An alternative is to take the Googl
