As part of the latest round of ad-hoc meet-ups in Dublin, I decided to arrange a Coworking / Blogger / Webby / Twitter (whatever) meet-up for people in Dublin. The date is Thursday 27th (evening time), the venue has yet to be decided (Depends on the numbers).

Hopefully some of the Irish co-working guys can pop along..

It has been suggested that we go for food followed by drinks. As a bonus, I have some freebies from WordPress.. More info over here http://www.jason-roe.com/blog/blogger-webby-meet-up-dublin-thursday-27th-nov/

I have been keeping an eye on the commercial lettings market (mainly offices) for the last two years. I spotted an interesting trend, commercial offices lets in Dublin are dropping sharply in price. Availability of offices in Dublin also seems to be at an all time high!

Anyone that’s thinking about an office space (who is in the freelance IT space) should resist the urge to cut back on the essentials. You may be able to grab a bargain let while the market is an all time low.

Lets take one office let for example, a 4-5 desk office in college green (a premium location) is now showing on daft for €650 .. now if you do your co-working math’s, it works out at about €162.5 a head with 4 people (before VAT).  Not bad!

Pop over to some of the property websites and see if you can grab a barging let. Im sure it’s the same across the whole country!

Eamon Leonard who was formally involved in TL01. Is planning to set up a new coworking space in Dublin. He already has Ken Stanley the self appointed “web standards legand” on board.

To quote Eamon:

I’ve been participating in one for the last year, but it’s recently been wound down. I’ve since started up my own company, EchoLibre, and we’re hoping to move into new office space in early October.

Given the benefit coworking had for me as a freelancer, and the belief I have that it can foster creativity and innovation, I’m going to make some of the office space available to freelancers – designers, developers, whatever (except SEOs – sorry, being able to set up a google ad campaign does not make you an expert).

The office is on South William Street and consists of two rooms – one will be for EchoLibre, the other for coworking. I already have one coworker on board, and have space for two more.

Coworking isn’t for everyone, but if you think it’s something you’d be
interested in, and you want an office in a nice part of town for a _very_ affordable price, then drop me a line.

Subsequently Patrick O’Connor was looking at the http://the-hub.net concept (while following coworking.ie). Looks like he might get onboard too.

If your interested in getting involved leave a comment or pop Eamon an email.

Thanks to Laura for pointing out the thread on PHPug. PS: Coworking.ie is still alive!

I have had a number of requests from people wanting to do more ad-hoc jelly like groups in Dublin.  Let me know if you would like to meet up with like minded people around September-October ish.

Suggestion for spaces? Requirements so far are:

- Free wifi
- Somewhere warm / comfortable
- Coffee on tap!

“Jelly’s a casual work event where everyone’s invited. It’s for anyone who’d like to work alongside other creative people in a welcome environment.”

Over the last month, I have been working in the background to secure additional coworking locations in Dublin. The theory behind this is to make coworking more accessible and available.

I was contacted by a landlord a few weeks back who was inspired by our efforts to date. I explained the concepts and ideology behind coworking and it turned out that they were quite similar to why he set up his own business.

The second space will be located in Broombridge Business Centre in Dublin 7. The location itself is accessible by bus and train, a short commute (Only 15 mins from the M50 and 15 mins from the City centre).

Please spread the word people! Direct anyone and everyone to this page.

I popped up today and was blow away by the attention to detail that has been put into this place. The facility is huge and has been custom fitted with everything needed for your typical office.

So here is a rough outline of the deal (not fully finalised).. Please contact me if you are interested Jason@jason-roe.com or drop us a comment.

For €350 a month you get:

• Broadband Internet connection.
• Fully fitted desk chair with, ergonomically designed seating and flexible storage and filing units.
• Reception services 8.00am – 6.00pm Monday – Friday. 10.00 am to 4.00pm on Saturday
• Message management ensuring all messages are received and delivered promptly.
• Secure parking is available onsite.
• Immediate Availability
• Secure Storage Space Available on site.
• Full use of the site facilities including Coffee Dock, Showers & Toilets.

Any additional services used are charged to you each month.
