We just attached power strips the bottom the tables and daisy chained them. One master switch for our large group of tables. Out of sight and mobile for events

We have a couple areas where the tables get moved around quite a bit when we have events and such and it would be nice if we weren't confined by these poles. The trick is making it look nice and not just hanging an extension cord from the ceiling. Any ideas on that sort of thing?

Otherwise, I saw an interesting installation @Indie Desk where they have a re-coilable piece hung from the ceiling structure. I'd imagine something similar but on a ceiling grid made of unistruts.

Url: http://groups.google.com/group/coworking/t/5ab34fffdc3ca026 ============================================================================= ---------- 1 of 1 ---------- From: Toni Hogan <[email protected]> Date: Apr 02 02:11PM -0700 Url: http://groups.google.com/group/coworking/msg/11f2598a9950e00f So, today we had our second Jelly in two weeks. Only two other people showed up, a couple, but the conversation was just as invigorating as last week's. The couple own a store that has additional space for a yoga room that they thought of using as a networking/meetup room...coworking, but they just don't know it. Anyway, they offered to let us use it at no charge. They are a real estate agent and broker. Since I will be training new agents and he is going to be hiring agents that could be another win-win situation. We are going to stop by their store later this week. Now, if we can get everyone to come to the Jelly on the SAME day that would be awesome. :-) TH On Mar 28, 6:22 am, Liam Gooding <[email protected]> wrote: ============================================================================= Topic: Free Coworking catches on in California Url: http://groups.google.com/group/coworking/t/9750963e0e3d7204 ============================================================================= ---------- 1 of 2 ---------- From: "Felix Schürholz" <[email protected]> Date: Apr 02 12:35PM -0700 Url: http://groups.google.com/group/coworking/msg/aa85a2a0c1dfd46a Looking at the recent entries in the “Free Coworking Directory<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsBt-syY2tDCdDhjbl8wemh2SXRjbEMxcXozMmF4U0E#gid=0>” it is apparent that from the last 7 entries 6 come from the USA, and of those, 5 from California. It remains to be seen whether this is a coincidence or the start of a stable trend. With now 3 free coworking offers in Los Angeles with Droplabs (Free Basic Use), kleverdog coworking (every other Friday) and Indie Desk (every 2nd Monday of the month) we have a first free coworking capital in California. I hope other cities will follow this wonderful example and collaborative endeavour.

If coworking is of value to you, why wouldn't you pay for it? It obviously has a cost, why would you not reciprocate the owner/providor for making coworking available?
