Re: [Coworking] Made it to the front page of the newspaper

[Brad Attig]

This is awesome. So funny as we're finding remote workers to be our best
members. They are more profitable, less hassle, and if we had 6 more desks,
we could fill them tomorrow.

Plus for rural areas in Oregon, keeping high wage workers in the community
has a huge economic impact.

In community,

[Coworking] Made it to the front page of the newspaper

[Glen Ferguson]

It took us six years, but we made it out of the inner local section and on
to the front page of our local paper. The online version omits a photo of
the two members the story leads with so it seems a bit disjointed at the
start.

Despite us downplaying the telework aspect, as that's only a small
percentage of our members, that was the story she wanted to tell before she
ever came in to see us. But that's the only major flaw this time around,
so... progress!

Re: [Coworking] Legal Services

[Glen Ferguson]

Falling under the cliché of "eating your own dogfood", our lawyer is one of
our members. Easy access to him and it saves us a lot of time in not having
to explain our business. Bonus points: he hates lawyerspeak and writes
contracts that humans can read.

Re: [Coworking] Re: What is your favorite coworking management software?

[Jacob Sayles]

A topic close to my heart although I don't like to pick favorites.  Thank
you Jeannine for throwing out Hector's Big Bodacious List
.

I've been working on an open source project, Nadine
, for 10 years or so and I'm pretty fond if it.
My dream is to develop it in to a Drupal/Wordpress like platform with a
strong collaboration between a participating spaces.  It is a completely
different approach to the market than the many great hosted product out
there.  If anyone is passionate about open source software and excited to
explore this, please reach out.  I'm a free agent these days and
considering my next steps.

Re: [Coworking] Legal Services

[Alex Hillman]

I'm with Brian - having a local attorney who you can build a relationship
with is HUGELY helpful.

Especially with businesses like ours that often have nuance missed by
corporate/bulk service attorneys, I've always been thankful for the ability
to go to a specific person that I know I can trust and who understands my
business values and goals and priorities.

Bonus: ours also have joined with memberships, and have found that they
gain a TON of business from being a part of our small business community.

Re: [Coworking] Legal Services

I would suggest you find a local attorney to review your membership
agreement. My real estate attorney put together my LLC and reviewed the
lease and membership agreement. Spending a couple hundred dollars to review
documents is cheaper than $480 year on a service. It's also nice to have an
attorney to make a quick call if you have any questions. He doesn't charge
me for those.

[Coworking] Re: What is your favorite coworking management software?

[Jeannine van der Linden]

Hiya!

Here is a crowdsourced list that might be helpful to you, it covers I think 
everything in the world. And if it doesn;t, you can add what you don't see. 
It hasn a sorting function as well which is helpful.

https://inztinkt.com/big-bodacious-list-of-coworking-software/

There is also a Facebook group for questions about coworking software, once 
you have some: https://www.facebook.com/groups/coworkingsoftware/

I have tried Nexudus and was thrilled with it, I think it is the most 
powerful software available. However its usability and accessibility are 
not quite as thrilling, and for several of my community managers the 
interface was a hard no, they would not even log in.  We had some startup 
issues as well, when I was considering hiring a dev to install it, I 
decided it was too much work for me.

I have tried Cobot and I love the product and the company, but much of what 
I need is CRM and coworker related processes standardized for regulatory 
reasons, and I was not able to do that with Cobot.

I talked to the folks at Office R, and they agreed with me that their 
product was not suitable for what I need, which I think deserves a 
compliment.  Well done, team Office R  :-)

De Kamer which I run  is a network of spaces in the Netherlands, where 
English is a second language, and so we are a little complicated.  The 
problems I have to solve are unusual; I am not sure my personal experience 
will be helpful because of that, and it is why I included the links above.

I went with Zapfloor HQ, we are, just like Joshua, just rolling it out and 
so I can;t give you great feedback in that sense; but they are so far
