Just as a refresher to those just joining us and since there were a couple of questions about this on the mailing list, here are a few ways you can get involved in the Coworking movement:
- Join the Google Group mailing list (and join in! ask questions!)
- Check out the wiki to see if someone in your area is interested in coworking (or already has a space or is in process of setting one up) and make a coffee date to chat about it!
- If there isn’t anything on the wiki that indicates activity in your area, start a page!
- Tell everyone you know about the concept: collaborative work environments/the coffee house meets office space…and how it’s growing!
- If you have extra space in your office, consider opening it up to be a coworking space
- If you know someone who has extra space in their offices, ask them to consider opening it up to vagabond coworkers
- Support your local coworking spaces by actually dropping by or even becoming a resident!
- Support your local coworking spaces by: telling everyone about them, donating office equipment, donating time/expertise (website? marketing? accounting? creating a piece of art?), holding your meetups/gatherings in their space…
- Put an ad in your local paper to see how many people work out of their living rooms/coffee shops - have a meetup and talk about the possibility of creating a shared space
- Talk to local reporters about helping you promote #9
There are lots of ways to get involved. It’s a super rewarding experience.
