At Citizen Space, we did things that involved the community in our building:
1. Ikea furniture building day - opened up an invitation for people to come help build the furniture, offering beer and pizza and good tunes. About 30 people came to help throughout the day. It was awesome. And we gained 5 members that day. 2. 'Camps' in the empty space - before we moved in, we had a BarCamp (EqualityCamp, actually) in the raw space. I asked loads of people what they thought and what they would change/add/etc I know that many other spaces, like Indy Hall and New Work City, etc. have done Jelly's (which sounds much like what Mindaugas is asking for): http://workatjelly.com/ Some were done in people's living rooms, some in coffee shops, some in the spaces to be.
