 Hey everyone,
 
 On behalf of all the coworking spaces in Texas, I'd like to welcome
 everyone to this years Coworking Meetup during SXSW. In years past, we
 have used the lovely San Jose Hotel, but this year, we'll be having it
 at the newly opened Texas Coworking just blocks away from the Austin
 Convention Center.
 
 We're doing it a bit earlier than years past, so we don't take away
 from the party atmosphere that happens later in the night. That said,
 here's the skinny:
 
 Date: March 13th, 2010
 Time: 6PM - 8PM
 Location: 200 E. 6th Street, 3rd Floor -- Austin, TX
 
 If anyone has any questions, let me know. I'll respond on/off list.

[Coworking] Introductions

2010-04-28 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hello Fellow Coworkers!

I have been following the group for a while now, watching very interesting 
conversations and enjoying the passion and excitement that comes through in 
many of your emails. I came to coworking by chance, but found that it works 
within the collaborative, community based culture that my parents generation 
started in the 60's and 70's. I work out of NextSpace Coworking + Innovation in 
Santa Cruz, California. We have a vibrant community here which has been 
nurtured by our local Geek Leaders, NextSpace CEO Jeremy Neuner and myself. 

I have had the opportunity do a mini coworking tour and visit several different 
coworking locations including Sandbox Suites (hi Sasha!) and Office Nomads (hi 
Susan!) and various others. Unfortunately I was not able to visit New Work City 
while I was in New York last month :( Hopefully next time!

I love what coworking has brought to our community and am excited about the 
future of work and how it relates to what we are all doing. I look forward to 
participating in this forum more often, and to learning from all of you.

Cheers!

cool to hear through this group the growing interest from local
economic development agencies in coworking across the country.

You can watch some snippets of the Mayors remarks here. He was even

[Coworking] Question re: cell phones and ringers

2010-09-16 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hey there fellow coworking peeps,

I have an issue I am sure many of you have dealt with and am interested in 
hearing some of your ways of handling it:

In the days of cell phones with with various ringtones we have a new adventure 
in establishing etiquette, some establishments ban cell phones all together, 
others require them to be silent only. In coworking spaces cell phones are a 
necessity, entrepreneurs must use them to conduct business, so banning them  is 
out of the question. But everyone has a personal threshold for how loud they 
set their phone and what types of ringtones they choose to use. Personally, I 
like a ring that sounds like a phone, or is as unobtrusive as possible. 

I received a complaint from a long time member today about the noise level 
caused by ring tones and a request to do something about it. I usually handle 
this kind of thing on a case by case basis. If someone's phone is loud and 
annoying I take them aside and ask them to turn it down, if they leave it on 
their desk and it rings incessantly I turn it off. 

So, my question is: Barring requiring everyone to place their phones on 
vibrate, what have some of you done to deal with this issue?

Your feedback is very much appreciated!

 I would say that it is OK to require that everyone to place their

 understand.  I think you should consider having this be the
 expectation in your space.  You could certainly propose the idea to
 the group/community and ask for buy-in.  I am guessing you would get
 it, as every coworker I know understands and respects the need for a
 generally quiet work environment.
 
 The trick is to avoid having anyone feel like this policy is a
 personal attack on them, so asking the group might be a good
 approach.  As a space owner, I'm sure you're used to being careful
 about people's feelings and being diplomatic.

Alex,

Definitely appreciate the crowdsourcing for the best solution tip. We have a 
set of community norms we ask people to learn an out of resepct for fellow 
members agree to follow - all common sense things we learned in kindergarten. 
This feels much better than having a list of arbitrary rules that someone is 
then in charge of enforcing. The last thing I ever want to be equated with as a 
community manager is a traffic cop. UGH!

 Why not encourage that members (not only the one complaining, but the entire

 The thing to avoid, IMHO, is heading down the path of the way corporate 
 offices work: rules are in place because something happened once, and over 
 time, people forget why the rule was put there in the first place. 
 
 Instead of a rule, go to the root of the problem: people with noisy ringtones 
 probably don't even realize that they're bothering others. 
 
 Most people are reasonable, and if the discussion even happens, the 
 offenders will likely be more cognizant of their ringtones in the first 
 place...and the problem will begin to solve itself.

Re: [Coworking] Last ditch effort to survive

2010-10-21 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Mike-

I agree that offering private offices is not selling out. In our Santa Cruz 
location many people merge together to take a private office. Most of our 
offices don't have ceilings, so I consider them part of the Cafe anyway. People 
take them for different reasons, but the most common reason is that they simply 
need more space than our Cafe or workstation options provide. They might be a 
designer or developer and so need a place to house multiple monitors (some of 
our members have 6 monitors in their office) or design books. Others are 
lawyers who require a place to meet in private and also shelving to house their 
law books. So at NextSpace, it's very common to walk into a private office 
and see 3-4 people coworking in their own microcosm. Our membership allows for 
office members to work in the Cafe as well, so most of these people will come 
and cowork in the Cafe when they want collaboration or to be social, and will 
work in their office if they are on deadline or need to be heads down. Of 
course most of these members could have found space elsewhere, but chose to be 
at NextSpace precisely because they wanted to be part of the community here.

I know that traditionally the no option of open opinion has been held as the 
credo for coworking, but in my experience as a community manager for 2 years I 
really think that we open up the world of collaborative workstyles and non 
competition to a larger group of people when we offer more flexibility in how 
we define this changing movement. 

Thanks for allowing me to give my humble opinion :) I wish you all the luck of 
the Irish in your quest to bring coworking to Tracy and hope to be able to come 
visit you sometime very soon.

Cheers!

Iris

 Mike, 
 
 This isn't selling out at all.  Private offices are not against the sprit of 
 coworking.  They confuse the issue for sure.  A lot of the talk I've heard or 
 said on the matter is often trying to explore this blurry line.  For example, 
 the norm is for people to isolate themselves and our tag line is 
 Individuality without Isolation.  So, when proposing a possible solution 
 it's tricky for us to offer people options to isolate themselves.  I mean 
 here we are trying to demonstrate how isolation causes problems.  That said 
 our space doesn't have private offices to offer so we can punt on the issue.  
 
 There is theory, and there is day to day life and you are in the best 
 position to know what is right for your community.

 Hi.
 
 I know that some think that offices don't belong in a coworking space, but 
 we've found them to be just as critical for the collaboration here.  The 
 office provides at minimum, built-in meeting space for a team that requires 
 a lot of huddle time.  Our other enclosed areas (meeting room, conf rm, 
 ...even the bathroom) are often already occupied for someone to duck into 
 for a private call or similar.  Granted, our private offices have one glass

[Coworking] (San Francisco Bay Area) iPhone Boot Camp

2010-10-28 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hi There Geeks and Coworkers alike,

I wanted to forward this opportunity to you for the upcoming iPhone Dev Camp 
over the (gasp) Halloween weekend. If you're interested in volunteering it 
could mean a free admission for you. See below for deets.

Rock on! 

Iris


 
 Hey 'Spacers,
 
 Cool Opp: This uber-informative iPhone App Development Boot Camp we hosted a 
 couple months ago is back this weekend (tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday). Neal 
 Goldstein (the guy who wrote iPhone Game Development for Dummies) is 
 teaching a three-day iPhone boot camp at NextSpace San Francisco on August 
 27-29.  The organizer of the boot camp is looking for someone to help with 
 workshop logistics (set-up, catering, etc.).  In exchange, you get to attend 
 the boot camp from FREE (retail value $1900).  
 
 If you're already an app developer or if you're looking to learn, this is a 
 great opportunity.  Some familiarization with object oriented programming is 
 helpful but not required.  Please email me directly at rebe...@nextspace.us 
 if you're interested..
  
 Best,
 
 Rebecca

[Coworking] SXSW accomodations

2010-11-10 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Heya!

Is anyone interested in joining together to get a coworking condo for SXSW? 
Perhaps something like this is already in process?

I'd love to organize if anyone else is interested?

[Coworking] Multi Point Video Conferencing

2010-11-11 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hi-

I apologize if this is a duplicate question, but I couldn't find any archives 
on the group which answered my question.

Does anyone have success with setting up multi point video conferencing? 
Ideally I'd like to have a system that can work with other types of systems 
rather than only a proprietary system. For instance, I'd love to be able to 
connect with other coworking spaces around the globe, multiples spaces at the 
same time, and not have to worry about compatibility issues.

Would love to hear thoughts, suggestions and especially success stories! 

Many thanks.

Re: [Coworking] Multi Point Video Conferencing

2010-11-11 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Thanks for the tips! zone of our members is on the Skype team, and mentioned 
the Tv's as an option, at the time the video was only between 2 clients. I just 
installed Skype 5.0 and tested it. The multi point conference is cool, though 
not much different than Zorap was 2 years ago. I do think it will work though, 
and given how quickly this technology improves should suffice for our low tech 
requirements.

 Fellow coworkers,
 
 I'm one of the community managers at the Beehive Baltimore, and we
 have a fun idea.
 
 We're considering creating a wormhole between our coworking space and
 another space, somewhere in the world (perhaps not in the US!) What
 this means technically is that we have a 24/7 video bridge between our
 two spaces, manifested on a monitor or TV that sits on the wall.
 
 More importantly, what this also means is that the coworking community
 will have another touch point, more face to face time, and yet another
 opportunity to create serendipity.
 
 If you're interested in trying this out, let me know, would love to
 have multiple spaces try this experiment with us and each other!
 
 Talk soon,

Hey Angel!

I started looking into this in November and then had a plate that started to 
overflow and I cried too :'( But now I'm not crying anymore and have Sara 
looking into a condo for us now. When are you planning on staying and what is 
your budget? We potentially have four peeps from our Santa Cruz Community, it 
looks like the more people we could get, the better deal we would have and 
would be more likely to actually find an available place.

 1. RSVP in Plancast if you haven't already (http://plancast.com/p/33pl)
 
 2. Event website / swag design:  We need help.  There's a $2,000 budget 
 and/or in-kind opportunity here (design the site and become a sponsor of the 
 Unconference)
 
 3. Contribute suggestions for keynote/panel speakers: http://bit.ly/hoMqo7
 
 4. Sponsors: Help reach out to sponsors.  A good excuse to call on behalf of 
 the community.  Email a...@loosecubes.com to get in the loop and help out.
 
 5. Follow @coworksxsw for ongoing updates!
 
 Here's the detailed update: 
 
 When: Thursday, March 10th from 3 pm - 11 pm
 
 Where: We recently locked in a really awesome (and brand new!) venue for the 
 event called Hangar Lounge, located just a few blocks from the convention 
 center in downtown Austin. Check out the pics here: http://on.fb.me/ib3M9N
 
 Who: 100 people have indicated their attending the event on Plancast 
 (http://plancast.com/p/33pl), including folks from the UK, France, Spain  
 Germany!; Total capacity: 150.  Sign up if you haven't already.  Everyone on 
 plancast will get advance notice when the Eventbrite page goes live.
 
 What: Unconference format with 2-3 pre-organized keynote panels.  We'd love 
 suggestions for the keynote speakers.  I kicked it off with a couple ideas 
 (here).   Please submit your own ideas.  In the next few weeks we'll be 
 issuing a 'call for submissions' so that you all can provide suggestions for 
 sessions at the unconference. We'll then ask the community to vote on their 
 favorites. Start thinking about a session you might want to host!
 
 Website:  We need some support here.  The designer we were going to work with 
 backed out.  We're talking to a couple other people, but if you'd like to 
 design/code the page or have a referral to do it, please let us know!  Right 
 now we've got $2,000 budgeted for the website / tee shirt / bag designs.  It 
 would be awesome if someone that's already a part of the community wanted to 
 take this project on.   Basically it'll be a landing page with info about the 
 event and link to the Eventbrite page.  We'd like to get it up asap.
 
 Sponsors/Budget: In order to keep the per person 'registration fee' down as 
 much as possible, we're working to obtain sponsorship by great companies to 
 cover the baseline unconference costs (venue, food, drinks, AV, etc.).  So 
 far, we've received a verbal commitment by a founding sponsor to provide 
 $4,000. Time for you to get involved!  Our total sponsorship goal is $15,500, 
 which will allow us to keep the registration fee to $30 (inclusive of 
 everything -- food, beverages, swag!). Anything beyond $15,500 would lower 
 the registration fee.  If you are interested in reaching out to sponsors or 
 collecting in-kind donations on behalf of the Unconference, please email 
 a...@loosecubes.com.  We're going to do a conference call with the 
 sponsorship committee on Monday to make a plan of attack.  
 
 If you have connections to in-kind donations, the big needs are: food for 
 dinner, tee shirts, signage, and the website/branding.  Alcohol must come 
 from the venue. Spreadsheet with details on the budget here: 
 http://bit.ly/haUMQ8 (second tab)
 
 Twitter account: We reserved @coworksxsw.  Let us know if you want to be on 
 the twitter team and we'll give you the credentials for the account.  
 Otherwise, follow us for more details!
 
 Look forward to having some margaritas with everyone in March!
 
 Cheers,

Re: [Coworking] File share solutions

Susan et al,

NextSpace is hosted by Google Apps so we keep all of our docs there which are 
spreadsheets and word processing. We use flickr for photos.   That way the 
Dropbox limits get saved for our PDFs or design files that can't live anywhere 
else.

 What's up coworkers,
 
 Office Nomads has been happily using Dropbox for our file share needs between 
 various team members and have been loving it. We particularly dig having all 
 files sync up automatically across several users and computers - the system 
 is simple, easy, and so far, free. We love free. Sadly, we're coming upon our 
 space limits and I figured I'd throw it out to the group to see what others 
 are doing before we start throwing money around. So here are my questions:
 
 -Does anyone have any contacts at Dropbox or a similar organization who might 
 be interested in supporting coworking spaces in terms of their file storage 
 needs (for running the space only and/or member storage solutions as well)?
 -What are you using to store your space-related docs, photos, videos, etc.? 
 Got a great solution you can share with me?
 
 Thanks a bunch in advance, and I can't wait to see many of you in TX soon!

Hey friends, all this talk about expansion is contagious. If Angel is

SXSW! ;) Anyway, we just announced our new space in Minneapolis. It's
quite splendid, with high ceilings and lots of architectural goodies.
Oh, and it's big, as in 16k SF of contiguous space.

Please check it out and tell us what you think! We'll definitely be
working a hybrid model (or what I call a three-ring circus) that
begins with coworking and then layers in tech incubation/acceleration,
meetings (better to meet in a cool coworking space than a crappy hotel
ballroom, I say), and events (meetups, user groups, conferences,
etc.). I could describe it further, but that's plenty for now.

Our blog announcement is here:
http://cocomsp.com/2011/05/coco-minneapolis-and-project-skyway-to-open-in-grain-exchange/
It includes some cool pix of the space taken before demo and
construction.

Also, if you wonder how we might fill the space, check out out
Memberships/Groups page. In addition to the accelerator program, which
will bring 25-30 people for 3-month stretches twice a year, we've got
3 companies that want 10-person Campsites for reasons of needing to
be closer to the tech/dev communities.

Okay, you're all probably asleep by now, so I'll leave it therre.
Eager to hear your comments and ideas.

- 30 minute podcast
- Published once per month
- Topics and hosts planned in advance
- Schedule:

Does anyone have any nominations for people they'd like to see in future

[Coworking] A win for opensource/crowdsource and coworking

2011-08-03 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hi Coworking Friends,

One of the things I love about running a coworking space is witnessing the 
relationship building and the ways that people reach out to each other for help 
with their businesses. Today alone we have had two separate companies reach out 
via our list serve to get the needed likes on their Facebook pages to reach 
vanity URL status. Both instances resulted in rapid success. Our members are 
constantly collaborating and building better things for it. 

I specifically wanted to share a recent success of one of our members. Orange22 
decided to crowdsource their funding for a new design on Kickstarter and has 
not only reached over 60% of their goal they are also helping to spread the 
idea of crowdsourced funding with the rest of the world. Here's a press release 
they recently sent out. And if you are into minimalist design check out their 
Kickstarter page :)

Re: [Coworking] Ghost Businesses ...

2011-08-04 Thread Iris Kavanagh

In Santa Cruz we sort the mail and deliver it to the peeps who have dedicated 
workspaces. For our Cafe members we keep their mail in a big file cabinet, 
divided into files per member. We email them once a week to let them know they 
have mail.

One of my favorite things to do during the day is deliver mail to members. It's 
a nice feeling to see the smiles when I hand them a check and it's also nice to 
get to say hi for that brief moment :)

  Hello Wise Co-Working Friends,
 
  It's been way too long since I've participated with this group. Suite133 is 
  still here and growing. We may be neglecting our coworking community 
  duties, website, and self-promotion, but we are still here.
 
  Here's my question for you. Have any of you had companies register your 
  address as their own without actually being a member? In the four years 
  that we've been around, this has happened twice. First it was a limousine 
  company. Then it was an alarm company.
 
  We first discovered it when someone dropped into our office to look for one 
  of the companies. A few web searches later and we discovered our address 
  all over the interwebs and in business license filings that were not 
  related to us.  At first we got rather worked up about it. Our attorney, 
  however, told us to not worry about it as there was no actual harm being 
  done to our business. So, just the other day a few more people dropped in 
  to see someone about an alarm system. Again, our attorney (who has a desk 
  here) tells us that this is a problem for state/city government types that 
  handle licensing and not us.
 
  I'm curious. Have any of you run into this before? If so, what did you do?
 
  Any input would be appreciated.
 
  Thank you,

Hi Leonid-

If you are able to make it to the North Bay we would love to have you
stop by NextSpace and work a day with us. We have delicious Verve
coffee and our first day is free. Cruzioworks and The Satellite in
Felton and Scotts Valley also sell day passes (not sure if they offer
a free day). As of right now there are not any coworking spaces in
Monterey, though you could probably find some interested folks who
would like to hold a jelly with you. Mary Lynch is a coworking fan,
follow her on Twitter @marilynch and hit her up to see if she knows of

Re: [Coworking] Re: GCUC Takeaway: Regional Associations

2012-03-14 Thread Iris Kavanagh

 

Great recap Craig!

Another thing that alliances do, (whether they are formal associations or 
simply mutual agreements) is to allow for a marketing platform for the idea 
of coworking in general. I'm very excited by this as I think that the 
progression of the idea of coworking toward the common vernacular benefits 
the world of coworking (as well as the general population because coworking 
is just good for everyone!).  

I wanted to add the newly formed League of Extraordinary Coworking Spaces 
(LEXC) to the list here. We are not limited to one region but are instead a 
multi-regional network of coworking spaces which:

1) Allows our members to enjoy shared trust across participating spaces and 
allows the spaces to enjoy shared trust of our members by employing the 
electronic visa system created by LiquidSpace.

2) Allows our members to easily locate friendly spaces in a region they 
might be visiting which will both suit their needs/expectations 
professionally and assure them a warm welcome on arrival.

3) Allows coworking owners/operators to take advantage of the combined 
marketing efforts/$$ of the collective spaces in the league. 

4) Allows coworking owners/operators to enjoy automation of the coworking 
visa concept for visiting members, and offers the visiting members a 
consistent and understandable fee based on a predetermined discount applied 
to the visiting space's normal rates. 

I'm excited to see more alliances form and was very delighted by the 
discussions around this topic taking place at the unconference last week! 
It will be interesting to see what happens next.

Warmly,

Iris

 Thanks for posting this recap Craig!

 I really enjoyed this Unconference discussion and think it could be
 really powerful as the coworking movement continues to grow. As
 someone said at GCUC (probably more than once) our biggest competition
 is home offices and coffee shops, not fellow coworking spaces. Working
 toward more of these regional alliances, whether they are for raising
 awareness of coworking in general, sharing members, or just
 socializing, will go a long way toward showing the world we practice
 the collaborative lifestyle that we preach.

   relationships and collaboration between spaces but also allows them to
   build awareness together, sharing expenses, and allowing for more
   creative ways to work together.
 
   Here are a few ways that I recall regional groups coming together:
 
   Seattle: Once a month social meeting rotating from space to space.
   Toronto: Coworking Passport, Shared website for the city wide
   initiative.
   Austin and Philly (I think): Coworking Blood Drives
   Austin: Kickball tournament between coworking spaces.

   please list them in the comments. I am going to take steps to start
   forming this type of group in Denver.

[Coworking] Unconference Session Notes

2012-03-15 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hello there!

I had the opportunity to attend several great sessions at this year's
unconference and I hear the ones I didn't attend were equally as awesome. One
of the key things that makes a great unconference experience is having a public
repository of notes from each session which can be followed along by those who
are in other sessions and those who could not attend. We are having people
request the notes and unfortunately no one has sent them to me or posted theirs
on the Google doc we created yet. If you attended sessions and took any sort of
notes please scan them and send them to me or post them here:

https://docs.google.com/a/nextspace.us/document/d/155DAjn6zs21XtpZ2p0X9yfW8vRSDxTiZAzSP1DcDuuY/edit

Thanks very much!

[Coworking] Re: Best CRM for coworking space management

2012-03-27 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hi Martin,

We researched and couldn't find anything out there that did everything we 
needed for a coworking space. So two years ago we built our own CRM which 
includes member profiles on our public site and will include a payment 
gateway shortly. 

At this year's unconference we discussed technology solutions and it 
appears that there will be several offerings coming onto the market in the 
next 6 months. I'd hold tight before spending any more money, wait for 
those to come out and then sign up for the betas. In the meantime if you 
have someone with geeky inclinations you can ask Jacob at Office Nomads 
about Nadine or talk to the guys at Cobot. 

Best of luck!

Re: [Coworking] Best CRM for coworking space management

2012-03-27 Thread Iris Kavanagh

I agree with Alex on the people focus of the software. Since what we were 
looking for at NextSpace was a place to hold all of the info we had about our 
members it was important that we had a tool that allowed the members to have 
access to their profiles and to be able to add personal info (likes and 
dislikes) as well as business info (website, fields of expertise) and the 
requisite contact info NextSpace would need in a CRM. Our ultimate goal is for 
this tool to allow our members to connect with each other online as well as 
they do offline, therefor enhancing the experience of working together. A third 
benefit is to have potential clients be able to find members through this tool 
on the public facing side of the profile.

Of course all of this has been extremely slow to come to fruition as we 
NextSpacers are definitely people people and definitely not code people :) We 
are still looking for partnership opportunities here so if there are code 
people who like people people and want to make a cool piece of software feel 
free to hit me up off list!

Warmly,

~ Iris

 I've been looking for a people-centric CRM for a long time and, like Iris

 The issue I've had is that CRMs are more focused on dealflow than on the 
 people involved in the deal. Much like all of the coworking finding tools out 
 there that are focused on the desks instead of the people, I have a hard time 
 using a tool that puts the emphasis on a different aspect of the workflow 
 than we have naturally.
 
 What I've wanted was something more like an intelligence tool than a CRM. 
 Being able to slice and dice members and prospective members by attribute is 
 great, but the more we slice, a tool that remembers to keep the person as the 
 focus of the report.
 
 Software developers on the list: please build this before I do :)

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Wiki: Status Update

2013-02-08 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Jacob-

Thanks so much for your spark and commitment to get this project going and 
see it though the past year. It's been great to resurface from maternity 
leave and see that things are humming along nicely! You and Susan have been 
an inspiration to everyone and I am also thankful for the volunteers and 
spaces who volunteered their resources. 

Does it make sense to do a demo type session at the Unconference where you 
walk us through the project milestones of the past year and goals for the 
next year? Building on the buzz we will have when we are all together in 
one room may help to surface the project manager needed for the next year 
as well as the individual team members needed. 

Just a thought :)

 Hello,

 This time last year Chelsea, Jessie, and I were putting together the plan 
 for the Coworking Wiki Project in preparation for our launch at GCUC. 
  There have been a few twists and turns along the way, but a year later we 
 have an amazing team in place and I wanted to give everyone a status 
 update.  

 The fundraiser fell well short of the $64K goal with the final total 
 coming in at around $5500. That covered Chelsea's trip to Austin for the 
 launch, marketing materials, a few paid consultants to help us with 
 fundraising and communications, and the legal fees to start Open Coworking. 
  Susan and I donated our time to the project and coworking spaces donated 
 time of their paid staff to make up the team that we built.  I traveled 
 quite a bit talking with spaces about the project although I covered those 
 costs personally.  

 We had to shift from the original idea of this being a paid (although 
 non-commercial) project, and this forced us to tightly focus our 
 priorities.  We shelved the fancy maps everyone wanted and we haven't been 
 doing a great job of keeping everyone informed, but don't let that fool 
 you.  *We have been working hard on the most important part of this 
 project: establishing the team*.  This is the hardest part and it's 
 difficult to show progress definitively, but we can all be very proud of 
 what we have accomplished 

 No longer is the wiki managed by a few volunteers out of the goodness of 
 our hearts.  Our team now consists of five Coordinators as part of their 
 job descriptions at their various coworking spaces.  This gives us the 
 structure needed to operate successfully and insulates the project from 
 disruptions as volunteers come and go.  *Our main objective is to make it 
 easy for anyone and everyone to participate* and at the same time 
 continue to function when everyone is busy and not paying attention.  We 
 are, after all, very busy people due to our deep passion for coworking, and 
 any system needs to take this into account.  

 The real test will be in the coming year as we change up the Coordinators 
 for the first time.  I've asked for one year commitments and that means 
 we'll be recruiting new Coordinators as their anniversaries come up 
 throughout the year.  Also, as you may have seen/heard, *I'm looking for 
 a new Project Director* to replace myself since it's been a year for me 
 now.  This individual will be tasked with overseeing these transitions and 
 keeping the project rooted in the shared values that bring us together. 
  Please let me know if you are interested in discussing this more, or if 
 there is someone you think I should reach out to.  

 I've been working very hard to bring this team together and I'm excited to 
 hand it off to the next person and see where it goes from here.  I have a 
 lot of energy and I'm good at getting things started, and I also know that 
 I'm not the best day-to-day manager of ongoing projects like this.  New 
 blood, not just this year, but year after year, will keep this project 
 vibrant and energized and build a tighter connection between all the spaces 
 participating.  

 As always I am open to feedback and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone 
 down in Austin next month.  

 Jacob

[Coworking] SF Bay Area- GCUC Coworking Space Tours

2015-02-24 Thread Iris Kavanagh

 

Hello!

I am organizing the Coworking space tours for the 2015 Global Coworking 
Unconference http://gcuc.co/  which is being held in Berkeley this year. 
On Friday, May 8 we will have about 200 people touring spaces in the East 
Bay and San Francisco. Depending on the funding for transportation, we 
would also like to organize a tour down the Peninsula. 

*If you are interested in having your space participate in the tours please 
confirm with me by Friday, February 27. *

Here’s how we expect the tours to work as of right now:

   - Copass https://copass.org/ will be providing their team members, 
   clad in super cool Copass jumpsuits, to lead each of the tours 
   - We will have 10 tours, 6-7 in SF, 3 in the East Bay and possibly 1 
   down the Peninsula 
   - Each tour will have a capacity of 20 people 
   - Each tour will visit 3-4 spaces 
   - Transportation will be via Bart/Muni/East Bay buses and ferries, with 
   the exception of the Peninsula, which will require a van 
   - The SF tours will be neighborhood based and mostly walking tours 
   - Each tour will last approximately 25-45 minutes 

If you’re wanting to host a tour, here’s some ideas and best practices to 
have in place when people enter your space:

   1. Notify your members that a large tour is coming through and encourage 
   them to say hi to the tourees 
   2. Make sure you are staffed with someone who can answer business and 
   community questions. Our tourees are curious and want to know about why you 
   designed your space the way you did, what your member interactions are like 
   and what types of events you hold, among other things 
   3. Consider offering nibbles likes cookies or crackers and cheese; 
   beverages, both alcohol and non alcoholic and showing off your best 
   “hospitality selves” 
   4. It’s good idea to make sure there is an open space that can 
   comfortably fit 20 people gathered together to ask you questions 

We’d love to get a variety of spaces on the tour list, so if you have 
relationships with makers spaces, coworking kitchens or other please let me 
know!

Warmly,

Iris

This is a great post! I'm researching member walls (In my recollection, the

[Coworking] Re: Any Feedback from People Who Use Nexudus Coworking Software?

2016-06-07 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hi All- 

Great discussion on Nexudus and the pros and cons of space management 
software in general!  I am reaching out to invite you all to an interview I 
am doing with Tiffany Jones of NextSpace (see her post on this thread) this 
coming Friday at 10 am PST. It's titled Nexudus Hacks and will be a 
conversation that covers the topic of implementing and using Nexudus Spaces 
for managing one space to multiple spaces, oddball use cases and everything 
else! You might be wondering why I am interviewing Tiffany this time, and 
not Adrian. The answer is simple! Tiffany, as a space manager, can relate 
to what each one of Nexudus's customers might experience and features they 
might request as opposed to Adrian's (very astute) understanding of the 
software from a developer's viewpoint. Audience participation is 
encouraged, and I'd love to take your live questions for Tiffany via 
Twitter to @iriskavanagh.

Here's a link to the show page on Youtube. Hope to meet you all there!

[Coworking] Re: Any Feedback from People Who Use Nexudus Coworking Software?

2016-06-17 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hi everyone-

After my first show on Nexudus last week, Adrian posted some comments on 
the Youtube page, with some great info. You may already have these links, 
but I wanted to share, just in case. As a side note, I didn't know about 
the forum within Nexudus and checked it out yesterday. I posted a question 
for a client and received immediate feedback from the Nexudus team, that 
was a great experience!

Adrian's comments:
- There is global forum available where every admin in Nexudus can 
communicate with us or other admins from any of the spaces operating with 
Nexudus built-in in the admin panel. Right on the home page: 
https://spaces.nexudus.com/#
- There has been a pretty good improvement made to the documentation 
portal, available at docs.nexudus.com. You will find a lot of content there 
about common processes and questions. - Available webhooks are detailed 
here http://docs.nexudus.com:8090/display/NSKE/Webhooks and the Zapier 
integration (the easiest way of using them) here: 
http://docs.nexudus.com:8090/display/NSKE/Zapier - You can move an invoice 
from one member to another following these steps: 
http://docs.nexudus.com:8090/display/NSKE/Invoicing#Invoicing-Changingthepersontheinvoiceisfor.
 
This also helps in the situation where you may want a team member to pay 
for their own items from time to time. - You can find a history of all the 
changes we make and new features we add over here: 
http://docs.nexudus.com:8090/display/NSKE/Latest+Features+and+Changes;

Also, Tiffany and I are doing a deep dive today into some scenarios 
coworking space managers experience, and how to use the platform to create 
the best workflow in those situations. We are live at 10am PST and you can 
post questions to me on Twitter, @iriskavanagh, or watch it later on the 
archive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybsYLVbYVRI

Cheers!

[Coworking] Re: Getting rid of the "co-working" hyphen

2016-07-02 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hello everyone-

A friend (and fellow member at my neighborhood coworking space) just 
forwarded me this blog 
.
 
It made me laugh and also made me think of how far we have to go! If we can 
have words like this 
 joy 
emoji listed by Oxford as the word of the year, it's got to be easy for us 
to get coworking into the dictionary! 

Also, happy summer (for our northern-hemisphere friends) from sunny Santa 
Cruz, California.

Re: [Coworking] Question about commissions or bonuses for Community Managers

2017-03-22 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Thanks for the great responses, everyone!

In general, I'm not a fan of the idea of using money to incentivise 
employees. Personally, I'm not incentivised by the idea of commissions on 
sales, etc.  

That said, when a space is looking to hire a really good CM, and is in a 
market with a high cost of living, an alternative compensation plan can be 
the difference between being able to get the really good CM and not being 
able to. 

At NextSpace, we considered offering a percentage of revenue from paying 
events as a way to allow employees additional income and compensate them 
for the many late nights and weekends they were working in event heavy 
times. We ultimately decided not to do this because in figuring it out we 
decided it took us away from our goal of being for the members in 
everything we did.  

I agree with Alex that the best case would be to offer commission based on 
length of membership. For coworking, this seems to be the purest form of 
compensation that aligns with the value of creating lasting relationships 
amongst people. This is also the most confusing to figure out! Below is 
what we are leaning toward:

Monthly bonus, based on % of roral revenue:

Revenue %

Bonus %

Monthly $ (based on 38,000mo)

70%

2

$53, $636 year

75%

5
$143, $1700 year


etc
Quarterly bonus, based on quarterly profits (profit sharing model):


Bonus %

Profit % (Based on quarterly average $15,900)

1

$159

2

$318

3

$477

4

$636

5

$795

6

$954

Thanks again for your thoughts!

Iris

[Coworking] Re: Happy Coworking Day! + The Global Directory of Women Owned Coworking Spaces

2017-08-12 Thread Iris Kavanagh

Hi-

I think it's great that you have noticed the number of women who are 
interested in Coworking in your community, and I really like that you want 
to offer something to the women which will meet them where their needs are. 
What you're doing with your back to school pop-up looks fun! 

I agree with Tony and Angel that the effort to create such an offering 
would be best led by a woman of the community. I recommend reaching out to 
your biggest engagers who are women and offer this idea, with an ask for 
someone to lead the effort. When the woman/women step up to lead, you can 
then provide the infrastructure and support needed to make things happen, 
and the manpower to execute on their plans. 

Best of luck! Would love to hear how it goes.

Iris
