Re: [Coworking] Re: Exchange program
This is amazing. I love the idea and Office Nomads would love to participate. This takes the beautiful cross-pollination that fuels the Coworking Visa and kicks it up a notch or two. When I get back from spending the summer in San Francisco, I plan to keep a guest room in my house in Seattle for visitors like this. I won't be available for the conference call later this month but I'll keep an eye on the project and reach out later in the year. Nice work!

I am going to be starting a community of advisors from cities around the country interested in being part of our pilot program. In order to receive the exchange trip, we are going to ask the coworkers who participate to also do a small pro bono project in their field for an organization of need in the local community where they visit. :D The local coworking spaces who participate would need to provide a desk for the visiting coworkers, safe lodging (via a local hotel) with access to public transportation and a host of people who are willing to show the person around the area on their visit. There are still a lot of details to figure out, but we are going to be hosting a Google Hangout at the end of this month and I will post it here if any of you want to attend. We have established the nonprofit with the intent of it being a national program that ALL coworking spaces can benefit from for the coworking exchange program-- NOT just PHX and CO+HOOTS. If any of you are interested in being in the community of advisors, please let me know.

It's a network for coworkers who want to exchange their homes + coworking memberships, usually for short periods of time. So in other words a coworker would be living in another city and working in a different coworking space but without paying anything extra (no rent and no coworking fee since they're already paying at home). I think it would be enriching for both the person who travels to another city/country and your coworking community. I was wondering if you as coworking managers would aprove this kind of arrangement (someone else using a coworking membership). Thanks a lot for your feedback!

[Coworking] Does anyone in Canada know how it works with CRA and claiming coworking costs + Business use of the home?
Hi folks, I get this question a lot from my clients and friends using coworking spaces - if you have a desk at a coworking space AND you maintain a home office (I use both about 50% of the time each), can you claim both expenses at tax time? Someone recently suggested to me that you might get in trouble with Revenue Canada if you're claiming a coworking space AND business use of the home deductions. Anyone had to deal with this yet? - Aaron Aaron Cruikshank Principal, CRUIKSHANK phone: 778.908.4560 e-mail: aa...@cruikshank.me web: cruikshank.me http://www.cruikshank.me twitter: @cruikshank https://twitter.com/cruikshank book a meeting: doodle.com/cruikshank http://www.doodle.com/cruikshank linkedin: in/cruikshank http://www.linkedin.com/in/cruikshank -- 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.

[Coworking] To what extent have you articulated your higher purpose?
Hi coworkers! I was thinking recently about an issue I've noticed locally and in other regions, where friendly neighboring coworking spaces sometimes struggle to develop good ways to collaborate. I believe the issue stems from a lack of a well-articulated higher purpose that people from multiple spaces could rally behind. I think about this phenomenon also in the context of how we communicate with prospective members. The majority of people who express interest in New Work City are, at first, looking for workspace, and think we're in the business of renting workspace. While we can use that as a starting point for educating prospective members about the deeper values behind and benefits of coworking, I'm thinking about how we can do a better job of connecting with prospective members in a way that's about something more meaningful. Have any of you experienced something similar? Have you witnessed or participated in the development of an ambition in your space or region that gives coworking space managers something higher to shoot for than simply getting enough members to pay the bills?

[Coworking] Made the leap and signed a lease! Advice?
We did it. WIMP signed a lease on a conservative 800 square foot space in downtown Santa Rosa, California and WIMPspace will be opening soon. I have run this meetup community for the last 3 years and change and we are over 400 members strong. The space is small but it's awesome. We're planning on converting one of the closets into a phone booth and probably just using a mobile partisan to separate the main space from a 4 person meeting table. We may not even use a partisan (thoughts??). So we anticipate having about 18 seats. Not sure yet as we haven't gotten furniture yet so it's a little hard to visualize at this stage. We also plan on hosting our (free) events, and (paid) workshops and classes. What I'm finding is that there is actually a demand for the public to learn web design and social media basic skills (which is what the core of our membership specializes in) so we'll probably host a mixture of beginner level as well as expert level classes. Does anyone here have experience running a similar business model? Any tips on logistics or projections for the size of our operation? Also wondering what you all use for keeping track of your membership subscriptions. Thanks all!
