I'm involved with the Hub network of coworking spaces (http://the-hub.net) and that is pretty much how most Hubs operate. Generally (but not always) no-one gets a fixed desk or private office, but most spaces offer meeting rooms that can be booked by the hour. We've got some basic software that lets members book the meeting spaces online and invoices them for it too. We sell it with support to new Hubs, but AFAIK its open source code so if anyone wants access to it let me know and I'll see what we can do :) Smiles, Josef. -- Josef Davies-Coates 07974 88 88 95 http://uniteddiversity.com Together We Have Everything -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
