Joe, Tonight (Monday the 18th) in downtown Orlando there is a Florida Creatives Happy Hour - sadly, this moth's Likemind has passed, but this weekend there is a BarCamp in Miami if you're interested in making the trip down.
Florida Creatives is a networking group with lots of attendance by local geeks. You'll want to check out the website for info and head to the Crooked Bayou, 50 E Central Blvd, Orlando - we'll be there from 6-9PM, and we're there every 3rd Monday of the month without fail. Here are some links for you: http://floridacreatives.com http://groups.google.com/group/florida-creatives http://groups.google.com/group/coworking-orlando http://groups.google.com/group/barcamporlando-announcements BarCamp Orlando is coming up in the first week of April, also in downtown. Because Orlando is so suburban, expect Coworking to happen in a central location most times, but I know some folks are out in the UCF/Waterford area. http://wiki.floridacreatives.com/index.php/Orlando_wifi This page also has a pretty recent list of known hotspots in town. It's editable, so if you come across any, please add them. We consider chain stores to be easy to find - Panera Bread, Moe's Burritos, Denny's - so they're not listed, but there are a few near Oviedo. It would be great if Orlando could sustain several spaces, but we don't have a dense enough concentration in any one area to make the first one happen - we're doing lots with meetups, lunches and Jelly- style events - coworking in someone's living room - for now. Hope to see you around soon.
