Re: [Coworking] Strategies for showing which members are on-site on a given day?
I agree with Alex, it's true. At Collective Agency the most important signage we have is a wall of member bios: name, photo, some questions and answers. People can then match a name to a face, find a skillset, or start a conversation. Most importantly, the member bios on the wall are a sign of appreciation: people like being valued here not for the work they do, but for who they are as people. Their info on the wall is a sign they belong to the community: it's next to the Community Guidelines sheet (the limits of how we are here). The inspiration for member bios on the wall was a company I worked at that had a bulletin board with photos of employees on fishing trips, with friends and family and each other, with names written below the employees. We've found any online info about people is not what members and meetings are paying for here; they are paying to be in a cozy place working alongside people doing a variety of work they're passionate about and committed to, where 80% of people say hi.

Here at Coletivo Labs the house is too big to see who's in, so we are using a a metal board on the wall. Each coworker have a magnet (just like those refrigerator magnets, very cheap) with their pic, info, etc. On the metal board, there's two columns, who is on the house, who is not... who walks in, moves the magnet to the right column. -Samir On Thursday, 30 January 2014 21:36:15 UTC-2, Eli Malinsky wrote: Hey all Wonder if anyone has novel ways of showing which members are in the space on a given day.

Hey All, I'm fairly new to the coworking world, been involved since Oct. 2013. Jacob, that sounds really interesting and an organic way for members to team-up for projects or answer questions.

[Coworking] Re: Strategies for showing which members are on-site on a given day?
Interesting. Samir - do people consistently move their magnets in and out? i.e., is it working? We also have a magnetic board with pictures and project/org names, but i'm not sure people would consistently use it to indicate their attendance. And, while I agree with Alex Hillman, our philosophy is to use multiple modes - technical, social, interpersonal, physical artifacts, etc - to reinforce community. Different people engage in different ways and we try to create a multiplicity of options that suit different personalities, etc. I'd love to hear any other ideas!!

Re: [Coworking] Strategies for showing which members are on-site on a given day?
Elise, We use Nadine to manage our space. It's an open source system we developed here at Office Nomads. The points that Alex and Alex made are really important to keep in mind though when considering technical solutions since they don't really work for the majority of cases they are relied on for. People come for the people first and foremost. The main reason Nadine works for us is that everyone gets a profile (entered by us) since this is how we track membership. The member facing sided of it is a perk most people don't care about.

[Coworking] Coworking Space Provider looking for system that tracks attendance for our office hours
I'm working at a space called HQ Raleigh and we are trying to find a service that can provide a public calendar for our community office hours and some way of tracking who is signing up to attend these office hours. Our office hours are provided by community professionals who host a 2-3 hour time open to anyone at the coworking space. We are having trouble determining who is attending these office hours and how many people are attending. I would appreciate if someone could point me in a direction here. I have been searching the past few days looking for the right service, but haven't been able to find something that would work for this situation.

Hi all. I just got my ticket for GCUC, the national coworking conference, for this May 1-3 in Kansas City. I'm not at all one of the organizers, but nonetheless I'd love to see everyone attend. So I'm reminding everyone that prices go up tomorrow from $350 to $400. http://gcuc.co/2014/ ...and as a little bonus, joining COSHARE.co gets you a 15% discount if you use coshare in the coupon area.
