Great feedback, thanks. I'm hoping that this covers the basics.. Here's
an example of how these data will be used:

We'll also need membership levels for hacker spaces. I dont know much
about general membership types for hacker spaces, so would love some
feedback - What are one or two common membership types for these types
of spaces?

Jonathan, nice!
I do not run a coworking space currently. :( (It will kind of depend
on where my next job/income stream is coming from, as where I open a
co-working space. Either Philly or DC area)
But I would like to offer a suggestion on names, if I may?
1 Drop-in - cool.
2. Daily Hotdesk - (hotdesk 9-5)
3. All Access Hotdesk
4. Permadesk or All Access Desk or somesuch.
Just my .02

Hi All,
I'm working on adding more metadata to coworkingregistry.org
<http://coworkingregistry.org> and one of the things we identified
was having rates information for various membership levels. Now,
I KNOW that each facility has different membership levels that
offer different levels of service, access, etc, but for the
purposes of standardization and communication, I'd like to
identify some common membership levels.
Currently, when I look at most spaces' web sites, I see the
following levels:
1) Drop-In - A one-day pass to work while the space is open,
like a 9-5 Hotdesk member but for one day. (No storage.)
2) Hotdesk 9-5 - Access to a desk/chair/resources every day
that the space has open hours. No key. Bring your laptop, take
it when you leave. "Leave no trace" coworking, unless a project
locker is provided.
3) Hotdesk 24/7 - Access to a desk/chair/resources as well as a
key/card/code so you can access the space whenever you want.
4) Permadesk - Your own established desk with whatever storage
is provided. Commonly you might leave a laptop or desktop
computer at your desk. Permadesk generally includes 24/7 access
(key/card/code).
There are generally higher "tenant" or "anchor tenant" types of
members, but these are usually custom/contract relationships and
not something that needs advertising. It might be valuable to
have a "Looking for anchor tenant" option on coworkingregistry,
but saying more than that is probably not necessary.
So what does everyone think of these 4 general levels of membership?
Are these good names, or are there better names for these things?
Do these names translate well into other languages?
Remember that the exact offering will vary from space to space in
terms of the hours of availability, additional amenities, access
to meetup/conference room spaces, and so on. I dont propose that
we try to agree on those, or get spaces to change what they offer.
What I'm trying to establish is a few general/base levels of
membership that we can use to talk about membership across spaces
in a general way. For example, everyone generally knows what a
day-pass or drop-in is. Does this make sense?
See you in Austin,
