* Some copywriting coaching from Amy Hoy's 30x500 workshop
Inspired by @peterc's excellent work on Javascript Weekly, and my fast-growing personal archive of news stories on how the coworking industry is exploding around the world, I decided to launch a simple weekly industry newsletter focused on sharing the best news, stories, announcements, etc.
If you work at or run a coworking space, there will be stuff in this newsletter for you.
Disclosure: I founded one of the earliest coworking spaces in the country, Indy Hall, in Philadelphia.
Great to see more e-mail newsletters coming out! I've seen some of your other content driven experiments and I think you have the 'iceberg' of experience in this area to make it a good one.
My CS/CEG department (Wright State University) has just instituted an open build lab for students to study, work on homework, have senior design meetings, perform research, hang out, etc. It's full of:
- hardware equipment,
- Arduino toys,
- Lego Mindstorms robots,
- tons of computers,
- Dremels,
- and other things like that.
Our local chapter of the ACM does event programming and informal learning sessions based on these tools & gadgets. Not to mention, the smartest people congregate here and serious knowledge gets exchanged in this space. I am so happy to work here and have such a space.
I think it fulfills the same purpose as a coworking space. After speaking with an ABET accreditor, I learned that such a space is quite rare in a university.
I hope to apply your tips and advice to our space.
From May 2011 to November 2011 the total number of spaces worldwide grew from 820 to 1100 (according to DeskMag.com). Coworking movement is doubling every year.
I just started working out of a space called geek offices in cambridge. There is a lot of interest because it just makes way more sense for companies under 10 employees.
I tend to not subscribe to these things unless I can read a sample newsletter to confirm it's reasonably useful to me. Consider providing a sample, and it doesn't have to be the most recent.
