Hi,
I'm new on the group. Got here after an amazing conversation with
Chris Messina in London (thanks again).
I'm looking for existing experiences of coworking in London and/or for
people who'd like to create a new one.
Also, my current dayjob (http://www.headshift.com) already has offices
but we're bound to get bigger ones soon...  you'll never know ;)

Cheers,
  Rick aka Bru

Hi Rick,

I spoke to Chris a few days ago, and I've also emailed Brad with
questions on how HatFactory has implemented their anchor system
(waiting to hear back).  I think we'll probably end up with different
types of Coworking space in London, from those that are communal and
collaborative in spirit, to more commercially-minded ventures.  I'm
more interested in the former, but happy to explore across the
spectrum.

If there are other independents who are serious about this, we should
meet to discuss what our goals are and discuss what kind of commitment
we're willing to put in.  We also need to explore the type of
community/business models which are realistic for London by analysing
the existing Coworking spaces which are in operation.

If you guys would like me to post a call on the coworking blog, lemme
know. We have a number of blog authors already, but I can volunteer
for the copy-paste job. ;)

Thanks Chris,
I think before that we should have something to post :)

But why not doing that (deciding) now? Let's have a first meeting sometime
next week to discuss the topic.
My proposal is either thursday at 18.30 at the Market Porter (
http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/pub/1n82z8u/the-market-porter) or
during the MiniBar on friday (http://upcoming.org/event/129563/).

The former if we want to have a chance to talk, the latter if we hope in
some snowball effect ;)

Cheers,
  R

I can do Wed...  Does that work for you?

We could do a quick introduction to Coworking (I think we're allowed 5
minutes at Minibar) as a call to arms, and to see how much interest is
out there.

Wednesday sounds fine. If we can come up with any presentable ideas, I'm
totally in for the presentation on friday too!

Is the Market Porter ok for you? here's my mobile just in case ->

Rick,

Sure, the Market Porter is fine, I know where it is...

The BusinessWeek article is worth checking out:
http://blog.coworking.info/2007/02/26/coworking-in-businessweekcom/#c...

I think we could just give a quick talk/intro and why we're
interested, rather than a formal presentation, and then just chat to
people who are interested.    Perhaps take a copy of BusinessWeek with
us, so people can look over the article/pictures.  It really helps if
people can visualise the different models in play, and see that things
are really happening, rather than coworking just being a neat idea.

In that sense, the accompanying slideshow is really good:

Hey guys,

Unfortunately I managed to miss the first meeting.. will deffo be
round for the next though.

We've (New Bamboo - http://new-bamboo.co.uk) got offices in Caledonian
road and have a space desk with space for 4-6 people. It's a shame to
see it go to waste. We're toying with the idea of inviting people in.
We've got a couch and a Wii :). Preferably Ruby on Rails developers,
but we're open to anything.

I wonder, anyone interested (or do you know anyone interested?).

Maybe give us a call or come along to the next OpenCoffee morning and
we'll have a chat?

Damien,
Sounds interesting.  Any pictures of the space?  How about hosting a
one-off Jelly type event?  For example, pick one day and get
interested coworkers to work from the space. It will be a useful
experiment for all involved, and will at least get things rolling in
London.
