One important such thing being this "openess" vs. "invitation only" dicotomy (scale?) Another fundamental thing is of course the "community", or sense thereof. I suspect a general definition of coworking is impossible, but nevertheless understanding the "basic elements" is essential. [Whatever we do w.r.t. a definition we must avoid *equating* coworking with community (for example). Coworking is a fuzzy balance of more than one thing. A single thing is of course the thing. Community is a single thing, and already has a name: "community"! This aside is in connection with the other subthread, about members of Les Satellites (?) that never show and just want to "belong".] -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
