[Mpls-pm] Anyone interested in coworking or shared office space?

[Nicholas Melnick]

Hey, guys,

I'm posting to this list as the group seems to be getting a little  
Ruby heavy, so I figured I need to let you guys in on it before it's  
too late. ;)

I had been looking around for a coworking (http://bit.ly/SgzFF) group  
or situation here in Minneapolis, as it had started to take off where  
I was in Seattle, and has been successful in other large cities.  
Looking at the coworking wiki, it looked like there were a few ideas  
that started to get off the ground, but the last one seems to have its  
last update back in summer of last year. While poking around, I came  
across a few people looking to do the same, and we had our first  
planning meeting last week. It's starting to become real.

So, if you're a telecommuter, or someone starting a business, and  
interested in some place that isn't your house, help us figure out the  
kind of space, pricing, environment, and timeline we need to make this  
a reality.

First, for updates and more information, there's a mTwin Cities  
Coworking group on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=79477889501 
), or the TCCoworking Twitter account (http://twitter.com/TCCoworking).

Second, for anyone even remotely interested, we have a Twin Cities  
Coworking survey

(http://tinyurl.com/dgdemj) to gauge interest as well as get an idea  
of what people are looking for in a space. Even if you're only  
slightly interested in the concept, we'd appreciate your feedback.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or comments, or  
direct them at the Facebook group or Twitter account above. My  
apologies if I've overstepped, but it seems there are a few  
freelancers in this group, and I'd hate to be the only Perl guy  
there. :)
