Introduce yourself

[Adam Tuttle]

I'm Adam Tuttle. I live and (hopefully soon - but don't tell my boss!) will be working from home in Chester County, outside Coatesville. I would be interested in a coworking space, but driving to Conshy every day wouldn't really work for me; I'd personally be looking something further west (West Chester? Downingtown?).

I do web development. Mostly ColdFusion, but also some Ruby on Rails, a lot of JavaScript... the normal stuff. I'm doing some mobile web and native mobile via Adobe AIR, too.

Even if a coworking thing doesn't materialize out my way, it would be cool to maybe get a group of nerds out in the western 'burbs together for drinks once a month. I mean, I'm REALLY close to Victory. What more reason do you need?

[Matt Monihan]

I'm Matt Monihan. I live in the Northern Liberties now, but I'm
interested in getting more involved in the development of the
Conshohocken/Plymouth Meeting areas as a new tech center. I grew up in
Lafayette Hill so that area is pretty close to my heart. Now, I run
Jarv.us and devnuts.com and I think there's a huge opportunity to take
advantage of the resources we've got in the burbs.

Let's do this!

[Jeff Rosen]

I'm Jeff Rosen , I have been involved in Business Development, specifically in technology for over 20 years. I live in Wynnewood. I am fascinated by Internet technologies. I work full time doing Business Consulting, in my spare time I am working on my  own startup. I am teaching myself HTML/CSS/PHP and MYSQL. I could certainly use some guidance. I am interested in working with others to create a fun environment where tech startups can be nurtured and launched successfully.

[JP Toto]

Hi kids. I'm JP Toto. I live in West Norriton and work in Conshohocken
running application development for http://www.cognisit.com

I've flirted with the idea of getting more involved with suburban
cowering but never pulled the trigger on anything. Having said that, I
have a nice little office with some empty cubes here
http://g.co/maps/57pku

It's not a formal coworking space but it's a nice spot if you'd like
to drop by. Just let me know first :-)

I'm also interested in seeing Plymouth Meeting and Conshohocken grow
as technology centers. We've got a nice start with Monetate, Poptent,
and a few others. I always thought Conshohocken would be a great spot
for an IndyHall-type coworking space. It's fairly central and has good
access/resources.

Thoughts?

[Mike Tannenbaum]

Hey guys,

I love the idea of suburban coworking spaces and was thrilled that we had an opportunity to talk about it at BarCamp - and that was my first BarCamp, which was absolutely AMAZING!

I recently moved back to Philadelphia after several years living in Los Angeles.  I'm currently looking for work, but more importantly I'm looking for people to collaborate on projects with.  I love working with the implementation of technology within peoples daily lives and finding the right pieces of tech to make people and companies more efficient.  My background is in business and communications and have several years experience producing and managing websites and online communities.

I'm thrilled to have connected with all of you and look forward to getting to know all of you!

You can find me on Twitter at @TannenbaumMike if you ever want to chat, and email works well too.

I will certainly do what I can to pop out to many of our upcoming meetings!

All the best,

Mike

[Todd Hiestand]

Hey everyone, my name is Todd Hiestand - i'm the bearded guy who facilitated the conversation on Saturday. This is something I've been hoping for a dreaming about for a while - ever since I heard of IndyHall and was jealous that I didn't live in the city.

I'm a freelance web designer. I have my own design studio (is that what the kids are calling it these days?) and i call it 343design (www.343design.com). don't ask me why i chose 343 for the name; basically the numbers sounded cool. I started the business in 2004 and work mostly with small businesses and non-profits. I'm an xhtml/css snob and work almost exclusively with developing custom themes in WordPress, using it as a CMS. I'd say about 95% of my sites are built off WordPress. 

i also have a blog here: www.toddhiestand.com where I blog about all kinds of things.

Looking forward to some good co-working sessions!

[Justin Campbell]

My name is Justin Campbell, and I just moved to Conshohocken from Ardmore. Up until a year ago, I was a Systems Engineer/MCSE at a law firm in Center City. But now I'm at a startup called Movitas in Bryn Mawr, where I work mostly on Ruby and AWS stuff.

I'm constantly working on personal projects in my free time, and I'm always a ton more productive in a group setting. I've dreamt of working out of Indy Hall even once a week, but I can never justify the commute. Very excited to see what this turns into.

[Brian Donahue]

Hello,

My name is Brian Donahue, and I live/work in Glenside, PA, as well as bounce over to Plymouth Meeting regularly to work with a friend who also works from home.  I've also been jonesing for a suburban co-working space for a long time, even thought of organizing one to the point of searching for space, but since I already run a local user group (Philly ALT.NET), have a bunch of other aspirations, not to mention 2 children - I chickened out.  I would definitely pay for a spot though, if a space were organized that was close enough to me.

My "day job" is .NET consulting, primarily for one main client.  I am also dabbling in a couple little project/startup ideas in Ruby/Rails, iOS, and some other stuff.  May have more to share about one of them pretty soon!

Seems a lot of us are to the West of the city - curious if there are many folks closer to my area, which is just north, and a tad west of the city (Jenkintown, Glenside, Horsham, Willow Grove, etc).
