How to get involved…

Just as a refresher to those just joining us and since there were a couple of questions about this on the mailing list, here are a few ways you can get involved in the Coworking movement:

1. Join the Google Group mailing list (and join in! ask questions!)
2. Check out the wiki to see if someone in your area is interested in coworking (or already has a space or is in process of setting one up) and make a coffee date to chat about it!
3. If there isn’t anything on the wiki that indicates activity in your area, start a page!
4. Tell everyone you know about the concept: collaborative work environments/the coffee house meets office space…and how it’s growing!
5. If you have extra space in your office, consider opening it up to be a coworking space
6. If you know someone who has extra space in their offices, ask them to consider opening it up to vagabond coworkers
7. Support your local coworking spaces by actually dropping by or even becoming a resident!
8. Support your local coworking spaces by: telling everyone about them, donating office equipment, donating time/expertise (website? marketing? accounting? creating a piece of art?), holding your meetups/gatherings in their space…
9. Put an ad in your local paper to see how many people work out of their living rooms/coffee shops – have a meetup and talk about the possibility of creating a shared space
10. Talk to local reporters about helping you promote #9

There are lots of ways to get involved. It’s a super rewarding experience. 🙂
