I just watched this one and found it thought provoking:

Also, of course, the classics from Elizabeth Gilbert (both of them) and
Simon Sinek are evergreen to me.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking payments for reservations & cancellation policies

[Doug Maschoff]

Hi Lauren, this is something we actually discussed with a lot of coworking 
space owners/managers when we were building out the booking functionality 
of www.meshworkapp.com. How we handle it is we charge the member/non-member 
at the time of booking, however give a 100% refund if they cancel the 
booking with 48 hours notice and a 50% refund when they cancel it with 24 
hours notice. I've also spoken with some spaces that always require a 48 
hour notice as well as others that only require a 24 hour notice. We were 
shooting for something that seemed reasonable without getting 
overcomplicated, however I'm sure there are lots of different ways to do 
it. Hope that helps.

Re: [Coworking] Coworking payments for reservations & cancellation policies

[Jerome Chang]

Hi. We simply tell everyone that "payment confirms a booking", and that
goes for any monthly or walk-in plans.
We allow cancellations 2 weeks in advance, 50% refund if 1 week, and none
before that. That said, we're exploring shorter notifications, and do have
exceptions to the rule when, for example, someone books just 6 days ahead.

Re: [Coworking] Google Chromecast

[Melissa T. Goldman]

That would be excellent if you could share the Chromecast "member screen" 
tool! Thank you, Alex.

What I'd love to see is a version that could rotate the display output 90 
degrees (so I can mount a vertical TV). I've only heard of that 
functionality on expensive boxes.

[Coworking] Coworking payments for reservations & cancellation policies

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there are general best practices for when to require 
payments for space reservations (especially if they are booking a space for 
the entire day). 

Also, similarly, what are your cancellation policies? Do you keep a certain 
percentage at different time periods leading to the scheduled booking? 

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!

[Coworking] Re: Membership Terms - Legal Clause about 24/7 Access

[Bernhard Mehl]

Hi there! 

Since this is actively involving our product getkisi.com with 24/7 access, 
we've went ahead and summarized what we found people doing in a blogpost:
http://coworkingresources.org/legal-implications-of-247-or-24-hour-access/

Let me know if you have any feedback!
Bernhard

[Coworking] Recommended TED Talks - Your Favorites!

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi again,

I'm putting together a calendar of TED Talks in 2017 for our weekly TED 
Talk Tuesdays that stream in the space (they are open to the public over 
lunchtime). I generated a list of talks in the second half of 2016, and I'm 
looking for recommendations on the best talks you've seen that have a 
business / entrepreneurship or science / tech bent, which seem to be of 
most interest to our community. 

Thanks!
