[Coworking] Coworking Space Ship is up and flying!
The Coworking Space Ship has already begun its flight around the US and Canada! Last night we had a very fruitful meet-up in Denver, tonight we're in Chicago, and tomorrow night we're in San Francisco. We hope each city can use these events to start interacting more with each other. There are so many new spaces, and it is important for them to be incorporated into the existing coworking community! So if you haven't registered for these free mini-conferences, you can do so here: www.coworkingtour.com. And you can follow our adventures on the blog section of the site http://coworkingtour.com/index.php/blog/ See some of you soon! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.

[Coworking] Bradley Neuberg lends his support
An update: I asked Brad Neuberg to write a few paragraphs to support the drop the hyphen campaign, and he kindly agreed! Here is his contribution: When I started coworking and created the term I very consciously dropped the hyphen. My intention is for coworking to be closer to the word collaboration, which does not have a hyphen, rather than co- worker. I also wanted the term to feel informal, and a dash in coworking felt awkward and difficult to type. When the New York Times printed their first article on the coworking phenomenon (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/20/business/ businessspecial2/20cowork.html?pagewanted=all), I made sure to work closely with the New York Times editor to ensure the dash did not appear in coworking. The official AP Stylebook should mirror this and drop the hyphen. - Brad Neuberg Blog: http://codinginparadise.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/bradneuberg On Oct 11, 12:22 pm, Joel Deskwanted joeldull...@gmail.com wrote: In addition to the letter, we would like to send a nicely designed PDF of images showing active use of the word coworking (sans hyphen).

In addition to the letter, we would like to send a nicely designed PDF of images showing active use of the word coworking (sans hyphen). Does anyone have photos of your signage using this word that you could send me?

[Coworking] Removing the Coworking Hyphen - next steps!
Hello everybody, Here's an update on the remove the coworking hyphen campaign: 1. We have drafted a letter to send to the editors of the AP stylebook. You are all welcome to read it and add your thoughts/ comments! You'll find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vQ4dNY3O8Ue0w7HcNoC9NhMB9KfVWgRh7MPICvv9_Yk/edit?hl=en_US Notes: - Any suggestions on how this should be signed? Should we collect digital signatures? An online petition? - You'll notice I refer often to the coworking industry. I know this won't rub well with some people, but I think it is necessary when petitioning AP to present it in these terms. Thoughts? 2. We have purchased an account on the AP Stylebook website, which will allow us to ask the editor a question. 3. I have asked Brad Neuberg to write a paragraph supporting this campaign, and he has agreed! It should add some weight to have the person who helped popularize the term lend his voice to the project. 4. Once all suggestions and changes are in, we will present this letter to be ratified at the upcoming Coworking Europe conference in Berlin! 5. DEADLINE: In order to have a letter ready for the conference, we should set a deadline of November 1 for all changes and suggestions. Anyone else have any ideas about how we should proceed? Remember that we are willing to put our resources to use to help this along, so don't be afraid to ask for our time and support!
