My presentation at BarCampCanberra 2010 on the soon-to-be-opened Coworking space in Canberra, providing freelancers and the self-employed with affordable office space in a friendly cafe-like social workplace shared with other professionals.
5. SOCIAL Emphasis on socialising, collaboration, knowledge sharing. Try to attract the right sort of people to create positive vibe.
6. “ The idea of Citizen Space is to take the best elements of a coffee shop (social, energetic, creative) and the best elements of a workspace (productive, functional) and combine them to give indie workers the chance to have their own, affordable space”
7. OPTIONS 3-month rolling contract with own, dedicated desk. Casual, drop-in on hourly rate with “hot desks”.
8. COST Still working on it but it will be as cheap as possible, just to cover costs and subsidise rent of host company.
