Since there are a lot of people working on placing people in spaces

I think this would be a great idea and would help showcase what people
in the community are up to, and also showcase the community to the
world at large and bring more exposure to coworking. Additionally,
building a back-catalog of radio shows about the coworking community
would give the movement
te that too.
Thanks all,

I would say that it is OK to require that everyone to place their
phones on vibrate. This is a courtesy that anyone should be able to
understand. I think you should consider having this be the
expectation in your space. You could certainly propose the idea to
the group/community and ask for "buy
porate coworking, and have them work
with you. Often their resources or even just the association with
their name will be enough to convince landlords to take a chance on
you.
Please let me know how your efforts go.
