[Coworking] Re: supporting egypt?

You can help by getting in touch with your local CrisisCamp or
contacting CrisisCommons to see if they have something organised or
planned for your city to help where ever needed, be it environmental,
political, natural disaster, etc. CrisisCamps are agile and
collaborative hackathons that bring together the volunteer technical
community to create systems and tools that emergency aid workers can
use immediately. I've worked with the Toronto group and also hosted
several of their meetups, and together we did make a difference for
the situations in Haiti and Chile in particular. It's a great fit for
coworking and something that we can do to help, indirectly, for any
kind of crisis around the world.

[Coworking] Re: Co-working in Toronto

Welcome Catharine!

Just as Craig offered, I'd love to sit down with you too. There are
definitely pockets of town that could use a space.

 Hi everyone,

 My name is Catharine MacIntosh and I am an artist and designer
 currently living in Toronto. Myself and two colleagues are looking at
 starting a co-working space here.  There are already two co-working
 spaces in Toronto, The Centre for Social Innovation - CSI [http://
 socialinnovation.ca/] and Camaraderie [http://camaraderie.ca/]. Both
 have great resources and have done a fantastic job. We want to open
 our own space, not in a competitive spirit but as another excellent
 opportunity in this still wide-open movement towards co-working. This
 email is to let you all know that  I would like to join this group, to
 learn from you and to share our experience as we move along.

 Currently I am putting together a business plan and looking for a
 physical space. If anyone has suggestions regarding the business plan
 I would be receptive and most appreciative. Also any advice regarding
 this google group (etiquette I may not be aware of, etc) would be
 great. I see there is much good conversation and resource already in
 the discussion threads so my first priority is to more thoroughly go
 through them.

 This email is to thank you all for being part of and creating this
 group! It's very much already in the positive co-working spirit. And
 to introduce myself and say hello.  Our company name SonicSibling
 comes from the idea that there is that ethereal, phantom other that
 is akin to a support mechanism such as family or a close friend
 might be, and hopefully with useful objectivity. I see a co-working
 group as a collective of sonic siblings who benefit from their
 collective and shared individual efforts.

 Thanks for your time!

 Sincerely,
 Catharine.
