Hi Alex,
Thank you for your explanation. Unfortunately i wasn't there, in the conference, but i would if i could, though. The reason why I asked such questions is because, in Indonesia, learning commons is not a thing, we dont have an advanced learning system in our school days. So our generation does not recognize the potential of collaborating in such environment as, either learning commons or the coworking space. And one of the coworking space that I've been visiting is focusing on building a community that will implement the concept of learning commons. I think that it is a challange for coworking spaces here, in Indonesia, to have a fully-functioned coworking community. Because my research on the freelancers that have been working in Coworking space, some of them are having difficulties on engaging other coworkers. Although there are some coworking space that already thrive by helping those interactions to happen, in my oppinion. Thank you for the podcast link that you shared. I will definitely look into that. Is it okay if, in the future, i have more question about coworking, i email directly to you? Would love to have some conversation.
