Friends of @Cubespacepdx in Portland set an initial target of $5,000 to help Cubespace with shortfall, and raised the $5,000 in 24 hours, primarily through Twitter and an impromptu fund raising site at http://savecubespacepdx.com (story from The Oregonian newspaper online posted half-way through the 24 hours is at http://twitpic.com/5rqv9). You can check there and at http://catherder.wordpress.com for next moves.
-Craig Fisk, Portland Disclosure: I'm not a coworker at present, nor do I provide coworking space, but I am on the board of legionoftech.org, which has held a number of events at coworking provider Cubespace (http:// www.cubespacepdx.com), and also participate in a number of tech meetups that use Cubespace (http://pdxgroups.pbworks.com). More about me at http://blog.picocosmos.net and @craigfisk on Twitter.
