Hey Everybody,
Tony Bacigalupo (New Work City), Geoff DiMasi (P'unk Ave, Independents
Hall), Julie Duryea (Souk Portland), Susan Evans (Office Nomads), and
myself, Matthew Wettergreen (Caroline Collective) are on a panel at
SXSW called Regional Whuffie Building: Attracting Innovation to Your
City.
If you're going to SXSW we'd love to see you at the panel:
http://sxsw.com/interactive/talks/panels?action=show&id=IAP0900393
First of all, whuffie. Taken from a direct quote by Tara Hunt:
A. A word coined by Cory Doctorow in his book, Down and Out in the
Magic Kingdom as the currency of the future.
B. Roughly equivalent to social capital
C. is the culmination of reputation, influence, bridging and bonding
capital, access to ideas and talent, access to resources, potential
access to further resources, saved up favors, accomplishments and the
Whuffie of those you have relationships with.
During the panel we'll discuss issues surrounding inspiring a spirit
of innovation and entrepreneurship, what it takes to run successful
startup or a successful career in technology regardless of region.
We'll also discuss some success stories resulting from regional
whuffie building and why this is something that can help your region.
In our individual communities of NYC, Philly, Portland, Seattle and
Houston we have experience and anecdotes surrounding our own careers
and community work. Additionally, we're talking about this regional
whuffie building with others in our local communities to gain some
additional perspective.
Since coworking plays such a large role in rallying the troops of any
region, we'd like input from all of you about Regional Whuffie
Building. If you're able, could you answer some questions?
1. What are some of your success stories of regional whuffie building
or inspiring a spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship?
2. How have you embraced the mix of face-to-face interaction and
technology?
3. What are some individual strategies towards this end goal that you
have attempted?
Thanks everyone,
Matthew

Additionally:
I'm going to be leading a Core Conversation about Coworking on Saturday March 14th at 11:30am.
http://sxsw.com/interactive/talks/core_conversations?action=show&id=IAP0900509
At this point, the hour is a fairly blank slate. Over the next week, I'd like people to submit, and vote on, questions/topics related to coworking that they think are most important. From this list, I'll build a structure for the hour and we'll make the most of it!
Please submit topic ideas and vote on them at
http://tr.im/coworkingcoreconvo
Thanks, and I can't wait to see so many of you next week!

We'll be several people from France, active in "La Cantine". We'll try
to joign those debates and it'll be great also if we use the barcamp
to exchange experiences and ideas.

Looking forward to these. We're in closing negotiations on our lease
for Launch Pad NOLA a new co-working space. I'm looking forward to
meeting everyone else doing this at SXSW.

Hey all!
If you're going to join us for our Regional Whuffie Building panel, and you're a coworking organizer in your city, leave a note on our page so others will know who else will be in attendance!
I realized that the audience for our panel will be a mix of fellow organizers and fresh faces, so the more we can engage everyone with each other the better.
