Applying the FON model to CoWorking
Damien Mulley floats the very cool idea of applying the FON model to Coworking-
“Wouldn’t it be nice to travel the world or country and hop from one place to another for plug in for free in return for you having a Coworking facility that allows a few free seats for the nomad Coworkers?”
Wouldn’t it just! So let me see if I’m interpreting Damien’s idea correctly. Let’s say 8 people in Dublin were renting a coworking space between them with 2 spare places available. Now, if that group of 8 people joins “The International Coworking Club” (TICC) and agrees to let any other members avail of their 2 spare places free of charge then they can also travel to any other TICC location worldwide and avail of a cowork space free of charge. Comments?
I like the idea! Perhaps we need a Web site, like those networks where people may offer a bed or similar accommodation and get another in return when they travel themselves (the names elude me now).
especially if you could vpn into your securefiles at your dublin coworking location
Lovely in theory
If anyone is in sunny Mallusk we have a couple of seats (2 desks, stretch to 6 if you’re friendly) with WiFi and coffee.
Willing to trade with co-workers in Bermuda…
And here’s an interesting comment on another post about a failed game design project:
