hello, this is Uli from Rasheed22 in Cairo, Egypt.
We are like what Tom described. And we operate in a similar style. This doesn't work for everyone but it works for those who decided to become keyholders :) have a great day, and by the way, we are going to talk coworking on our continent and the region during coworking know-how camp in Cairo next week. I am sure it would be cool and productive to somehow connect to the global coworking community virtually at some point. warmly, Uli http://www.rasheed22.com On 7 October 2014 19:42, Jessica Hill <[email protected]> wrote: > Wow, that's awesome!
