Last night Tara Brown hosted a meeting here at Office Nomads to kick off planning for Seattle’s first Bar Camp. BarCampSeattle is going to be on June 14th and 15th at a location that will soon be determined. The first meeting was mostly to get the ball rolling and see how excited people are. We filled our main conference room and despite the high turn out we actually got a lot done too! Priority #1 is to find a venue and we have some great leads. Next we will focus on sponsorship and promotion. If you are interested in helping plan we are having our next meeting here on May 6th, 7PM. Contact Tara to let us know you are coming. You can also join the Facebook Group.

Thanks is due today to the great Austin, TX coworking space LaunchPad for a really good interview with Susan and Jacob they put up today.

It’s always fun to see what people want to know about this place and the team that put it together. It’s even more interesting when the questions come from folks who are also trying to set up their own coworking space. The interview contains some interesting nuggets from Susan and Jacob about their thoughts on the coworking “movement,” their strengths and weaknesses, and their feelings around the evolution of Office Nomads’ space. Well worth a read!
