How marvellous of you to bring this up. I was recently approached by a business involved in my Amsterdam space, Moyee Coffee <http://www.moyeecoffee.com/>. They have a Fair Chain thing going on. We have been talking about how they can get involved with Open Coworking; we are in preliminary talks and so nothing has been given any kind of shape at all. They are nevertheless intrigued by the possibilities and that is as far as we have gotten.
Until now the discussion has centered around exactly what Alex says, they don't really want a "we talk you up and get a discount" kind of relationship but are interested in the long term. And I am not at all interested in sending a pitch to the community, I don't think that is what I am for. And the logistics of course are both daunting and interesting. The coffee, I have to tell you, is FAB. So I am just throwing that out there as food for thought. Maybe I should set up a list for folks interested in taking this particular notion further? Or should we just get a show of hands? :-) Cheers, Jeannine On Tuesday, August 19, 2014 3:48:20 PM UTC+2, George Aye wrote: > > Dear coworkjng gurus, > > Our space in Chicago has been on a weekly subscription to Metropolis > coffee since we started 1.5 yrs ago.
