History of Coworking

[Alex Hillman]

I'm curious if anyone (maybe Deskmag?) has compiled a historical timeline of major events in coworking history. Has anybody already embarked on this journey?

I recall reading about it in a coworking book called "I'm Outta Here", available in Amazon.

Cheers,

Craig from Creative Density started a timeline in a blogpost a few months ago at http://densitycoworking.com/a-brief-history-of-coworking/

I'd love to put it on the wiki, but I can't see how to do graphic timelines in PBworks. I know how to do it on MediaWiki with an extension to install and have some code ready for if/when we can install that or tweak it for something like it. Can someone help me with that?

Rachel,

I can help with the coding aspect :p

[Jacob Sayles]

That would be a great addition.  I can help get it on there too.  It's doable I believe it just might not be intuitive how we go about it.

I selected a few highlights since 2005 on the post that Rachel mentioned. I wanted to look at it from a slightly different angle of the business aspect of coworking versus the larger movement. It was difficult to highlight it down but I think a larger more comprehensive list would be great to work on.

Since we can't make a graphic timeline, and that might be unnecessary anyway, I put up a simple table at http://wiki.coworking.com/w/page/68852527/History%20of%20Coworking%20-%20a%20timeline

It generously lifts text from Craig's blog post, Deskmag's Sep 2 article about the history of coworking, and some other places around the internet that I can't remember.

It needs some work, including the launch of coworking books (Angel? Tony?), when the coworking blog launched and ceased, the dates of when some other collectives formed, when Deskmag started, etc,, but it's a fluid starting point. Please add significant dates to it (not the date your space opened, unless you started something truly unique like Cubes & Crayons).
