I just realized I broke the group's rules by not introducing myself before my first post.
Hi, I'm Jeff Rush located here in Dallas. I've been a self-employed consultant/developer since 1984, a perfect candidate for coworking. Fortunately a facility (company|dallas) opened up a few weeks ago just 2 miles from me and I'm helping promote it among the communities I participate. I'm not an owner, just a member. Very few people so far so it's lonely. ;-) We are starting to hold our usergroup meetings there and to offer general presentations on other days. I joined because I miss bouncing ideas off people and helping them solve problems when I just work at home. I spend a lot of time on IM and mailing lists as a result. I'm very big into the Python programming language and helping others to come up to speed. For a year I was the official worldwide Python Advocacy Coordinator, now unofficial volunteer, started the DFW Pythoneers usergroup/meetup and I've chaired a couple of 600-person PyCon conferences so I know a bit about organizing. I also mentor developers, speak at events and produce screencasts on technical topics at www.showmedo.com. Besides Python I'm also a pure Linux developer and into robotics and embedded programming like for the OpenMoko cellphone, the One-Laptop-per-Child XO, the TuxPhone and the Kurobox NAS boxes from Buffalo Tech. You can find me on twitter as #xanalogica and on Google Chat in the chatrooms #dfwpython, #dfwuug, and #pylocal (worldwide community of Python usergroup organizers). Gulp, there are almost 2000 members now on this list; truly coworking is taking off as a movement. Here in Dallas it is still a challenge to get others to understand exactly what it is. -Jeff Rush --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
