Sunday, July 06, 2008Julie Gomoll has been thinking about where and how she wants to work for a long time.
The tech entrepreneur “” who started and sold several successful companies since she moved to Austin in the mid-1980s “” has often worked at home, alone. (more)
Congrats to
- Conjunctured Coworking (heh… they have a "manifesto" link on the nav – awesome)
- Launchpad Coworking (hey guys, put in a redirect for the www. reference, eh?)
- Austin Jelly
- Michelle – general Austin trouble maker who just had a hugely successful blood drive. And is emailing me snarky challenging emails behind the scenes. But I promised not to blog that part b/c I’m not petty like that.
- Too many other cool Austinites that make Texas proud!
So what is coworking? The definitions abound on the coworking wiki. But for me it is a slightly tech heavy artists collective where you can rent out space and the social aspect matters.
What am I most excited about? The fact that the community is coming together. That is a good thing if it happens in Austin, Houston, San Antonio or Dallas (hello? Dallas? You up there still?)
