This isn't a comment about the idea which sounds great (though I don't have the time to get involved). But we already have a coworking day, don't we? You're the one who suggested it and got all the excitement going (August 9th, the first day Brad Neuberg publicly blogged about the word coworking). The #coworkingday tweets and the coworkingday.com websites were all things that were discussed for that day. I would think having multiple coworking days throughout the year would take some of the steam out of the idea. And I'd feel silly after telling my members and blogging about coworking day being on August 9th if everything gets switched now to a different day. Let's keep to August 9th and build on it each year until it becomes an international holiday (where people take of work so they have the chance to cowork). :)
