* Ready to revisit the discussion about a coworking association?
We’ve certainly spent a lot of time discussing the possibilities and the millions of ways this could work out. Well, here is another one! A group of us, including Liz, Bill, Iris, Jerome, Benjamin, Jenny, Craig, Tony and I, have been digging into this a bit more and came up with what we call CoShare with the tagline "Share space, Share Ideas". Our goal is to support education, advocacy, and community by backing organizations like Open Coworking, infrastructure like the wiki, and the google group, and events like GCUC. Of course, as we all know, what gets created depends on who shows up and the real work starts now. Everyone is invited. We’re launched the website this week and we are inviting everyone into the discussion. We’ll be hosting a webinar on the 12th to give a broad overview of CoShare and to offer up a Q&A. It’s still early days for all of this and we have a lot of work to do to build something long lasting. Please come to the table with all your hopes, dreams, questions, ideas and concerns, and let’s build this together. http://coshare.co* Jacob On Friday, February 25, 2011 11:19:05 PM UTC-8, mark gilbreath wrote: > > Mark > I believe a number of us have had these discussions.
