Scott Nelson and I, Malcolm van Delst, would like to invite you to join us at a bi-monthly co-working event.
Bi-monthly Community Co-working Thursdays will take place on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, from 11 am to 5 pm, at DharmaLab, 1814 Pandora St. (about 2 blocks east, and 2 blocks north, of Commercial Drive and Hastings Street - see map at bottom). Next one is Apr. 28, 2011.
Who should come? Just about anybody. We're not limiting this to the Drupal community but since we both work with Drupal, this is where we're starting.
Why come? As home-based freelancers, we understand the need to share ideas, techniques, job and contract leads, marketing and business intelligence and a host of other information and real space data a person working in an office shares on a day to day basis - but we don't want to work in traditional offices! By attending Community Co-working Thursdays, freelancers, small business people, craftspeople and anyone looking for a fresh perspective can get that in an environment that has new faces, new ideas and new projects built into it's structure.
What's it cost? Nothing, though if you are willing to help others, and ask for help, that would be awesome.
Anything else? If you are working on a computer, you might want to bring extension cords or powerbars, but these are not required. If you are working on a non-computer-based project, you should bring any supplies and tools that you will need. Bringing snacks to share is encouraged, though not required. Lastly, coffee, tea and refreshments will be available for purchase.
Hope to see you soon!
Scott and Malcolm
