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).

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.
