@Jacob: Beautiful statement.
@Jeannine & all:
Do you all already know all the continental groups on facebook (for sure
also for Asia)?
Coworking Asia: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cowoasia/
Coworking Africa: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cowoafrica/
Coworking Australia Oceania:

Coworking Northamerica: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cowonorthamerica/
Coworking Southamerica: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cowosouthamerica/

Let's continue to weave global coworking networks ... :-)
There are so different ways to do it. Fascinating to observe this process.
Best, Anni

Yes we do have a global organization and a very effective
"association". We all associate with the word "coworking". For such
a vastly diverse group of people this is more then enough. This is
beautiful. Our success in Seattle is amplified because of our
association with all of you. We express our appreciation for this
group by giving back in every way we can.
Can we collectively do more? Yes, but it can't be all in the same
direction. We have exploded on the world because we are going in all
directions, and quickly. It is also important to note that there is
more then enough energy in this movement to overcome any need for
efficiency.
We have many tools to work with and we can be most effective if we use
and appreciate each one for its strengths. Globally we are bridging
the connections between all of us. Locally we bond together and get
things done. We are united. We are Coworking. Each one of us can
take that home and set a damn good example of what we *personally*
believe that means.

I think we have a global organization already. I think we need
more, as Anni says, networking.
I also think that we should have, as Alex says, a europe-centered
coworking group, as part of the Global group. The closest we have
so far is a Facebook group. Which is a good start, but we can do
better than that.
I would also like to see much more from Asia: but Asia is also an
entire continent with many languages and cultures and so forth to
contend with.
In the US, they don't have language issues and so forth to contend
with, at least not on the same scale. So it all goes easier,
there is more interation, more gets done faster. This means we
have to have some more effort from our side. Not to separate; but
to bring together in its fullness.
That's my goal, anyway.

It looks nice, but there is not any location listed in europe.
I think we should make our own global association with
coworking philosophy and that means that the association has
to be born from the differents coworkings countries community.
Not just USA
I think a great step to make it possible, its starting talking
with those who are reference in their own countries and make
this association possible with all this people.
