[Coworking] Re: looking for software to administer and book desk in a coworking location
hi dominik, for managing desks/coworking spaces there is http://cobot.me (commercial, i created it) and there is nadine (http:// wiki.coworking.info/w/page/31359618/NadineProject, open source). cobot is more polished and can do more things, free support and an API. nadine on the other hand allows you to customize anything you want if you are willing to put in some programming effort. for finding/booking desks there are: * http://deskwanted.com * http://loosecubes.com * http://liquidspace.com and a few others. cheers, alex On Sep 5, 6:30 pm, dominik ha...@gmx.ch wrote: Hi, I am lloking for software/tools (webbased) that can be used to admister and book desks in coworking location.

[Coworking] Re: Member Management Program
Hi Felena, here's a link to cobot: http://cobot.me (disclaimer: I work at cobot). From what I have seen Mindbody is more about booking appointments/ classes than it is about managing a coworking space. Their target group are gyms and yoga studios. While there certainly are overlapping areas between gyms and coworking spaces, in the long term Mindbody won't be able to offer you the same level of specialization as cobot does. Feel free to try us out :) Cheers, Alex On Apr 10, 10:18 pm, Felena felenad...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Jessica - you are using Cobot Solutions? can you tell me more... not finding the right links online to learn about their coworking solutions. thanks!

[Coworking] Re: Management Software
just to make the list complete, there's also http://cobot.me, which is not open source but a saas. it handles payments/invoicing, attendance tracking, member management, booking of resources and much more. (disclaimer: i work on it). we have thought about open sourcing at least parts of it, but haven't found too much value in doing that. you can't really save any money by setting it up on your own box (need to pay an admin + hosting). the only upside would be that you could completely customize it (given the programming resources) and you wouldn't depend on a 3rd party anymore. then again we have an API, and with a saas solution you get free updates and support, which is especially important with non-trivial software like that. cheers, alex On Apr 4, 2:39 pm, Jacob Sayles ja...@officenomads.com wrote: Matthew, Best way to get started is to join the Nadine Google Group:http://groups.google.com/group/nadineproject It's all written in Django.

Hi Dana, I'm the guy behind http://cobot.me - cobot does member management, meeting room booking, payments (paypal, crest card) and other things for you. you can also hook it up to your wifi so that people have to log in with their accounts. we built it to help run our own space. you can sign up for a free 30 day trial. if you have any questions email me at a...@cobot.me or skype (langalex) Cheers, Alex On 13.01.2011, at 01:21, Dana VanDen Heuvel dvand...@gmail.com wrote: Hello!

Re: [Coworking] Interested in learning more about coworking
Hi Ron, any specific questions? in our space we've had a lot of students who were working on their thesis on coworking handing out surveys. Maybe you want to set up a survey on the web (?) Cheers, Alex On Sep 21, 2010, at 15:19 , Ron Vega wrote: Hi, My name is Ron Vega and I am a researcher at George Mason University in industrial/organizational psychology. I've been reading about coworking for a while now and it seems like a really interesting idea. Particularly one of the reoccuring themes to come out of these discussions is that people feel more creative when they are working around other people (even if they are not working on the same stuff). Additionally, it seems that people who cowork, love it. I want to show that when people work alone, they are less creative than with other people and coworking groups seem like a perfect sample. If anyone is interested in helping me learn more about coworking that would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Coworking] Coworking IRC Channel
The German coworking scene uses a public skype chat - it's not ideal but it might be more accessible for most non geeks than IRC...

Seems like it could be a good way to connect the various parties around the globe. I added a mention over at wiki.coworking.com and have been keeping an eye on the channel on irc.freenode.net. I'm excited to see IRC isn't dead. Let's talk coworking!

[Coworking] Numbers published
Hi list, sorry to spam you again with another blog post, but once again I think this might be interesting. I have blogged our development of coworkers, revenue and attendance: http://co-up.de/2010/09/05/annual-report.html I'm hoping others will do that, too. I'm not aware of any spaces who have published their numbers - if there are any please let me know.

[Coworking] hi there
Hi list, I'm Alex from Germany (but currently living in Sweden). I run a coworking space called co.up (http://co-up.de) in Berlin and spamI'm also the creator of a website that helps coworking space owners to manage their space: http://cobot.me /spam. I earn my living mainly with programming, but am hoping to make coworking and other things play a bigger role in that in the future. I hope I can share some of my knowledge and experience as a space owner here (and maybe also spread the word on cobot a little bit :) ) Cheers, Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.
