Re: [Coworking] IT questions for people that run coworking spaces

[Jacob Sayles]

This is a very interesting topic for me... as the IT guy for Office
Nomads.  I've found that most spaces I talk to do not have a dedicated IT
person and struggle when things go wrong.  If all you have is your internet
provider, or your 14yo cousin, to ask for help, things get dicey really
fast.  The larger spaces often have the funds for dedicated help and I've
thought about offering some form of "help desk" option for smaller spaces
but haven't worked out the details in a way that is affordable to most
spaces.  If you have ideas I'd love to brainstorm and I'd love to hear how
it's working out for you.

[Coworking] Re: Printing - Cloud Solution?

[Jay Smith]

Hello, I'm the IT Manager for our company, we use mainly Sharp MFP's in our 
space, and these machines (as well as others) have the ability to print by 
User number only. When Sharp releases a new printer, they also release the 
Mac/PC and linux printer drivers. They don't work for tablets, and smart 
phones, that's the one down side. But for lap tops and desktops, they work 
just fine. This then allows the center coordinator to pull a report from 
the printer at the end of the month, and simply upload that CSV straight in 
to our Coworking Software and that automatically add's the 
printing/Scanning/Faxing/Copying charges to their monthly invoice. (That 
get auto billed on the first of the month)

We setup a URL that has the printer drivers on them, and our members can 
self install with the help of a 1 page printer driver install guide we 
created.
We have been doing this for the last 5 years, in 5 different locations. 
Seems to work perfectly.

[Coworking] IT questions for people that run coworking spaces

[Jay Smith]

Hello everyone. I'm the IT Manager for a coworking company out of 
California. I'm just curious as to what the average internet connection 
speeds are at most of the coworking spaces in this group. Do you find that 
your speeds could be faster, but you don't really have the option to obtain 
more speed at a decent price? Or are your speeds adequate for your members 
needs?

How many of you have a dedicated IT person working for your company that 
you have full access to during the work day? If you don't, do you have an 
IT service that you call when things start to work improperly?

Our slowest location has a 50/20mbps copper connection,
but our fastest location is a 300/300mbps Fiber connection.

[Coworking] New to Digital Nomading in NYC, Looking for Spaces

[David Payette]

Hi everyone - I'm David Payette and I'm new to the digital nomad lifestyle. 
Two years ago, the first and only blog post I had ever written went viral 
and 5 million people read it in a week. I realized I was on to something 
and started writing more. Over the past two years, my website has grown to 
see about 1M uniques / month. It's been a total miracle in my life. I'm 
currently in NYC and a friend of mine said I should check out co-working 
spaces. I'd really like to meet people who can help me take my website to 
the next level and collaborate on interesting projects. I Googled it, and 
there are a lot, so if anyone can steer me in the right direction, I'd 
really appreciate it. If you're interested, here's the post that went 
viral: 
http://www.payetteforward.com/why-does-my-iphone-battery-die-so-fast-heres-the-real-fix/

Thanks so much,
David P.
