We will be interested in talking to other Co-Working spaces around the country and beyond – seeing if there’s synergy, the possibility of desk swaps and working together. What say you?

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/

As Andy writes:

we viewed a 1200sqft open-plan office (with kitchenette, disabled access & a shower) – on the first floor above the Black Box. The property ticks all the boxes – it’s finished to an excellent standard and could happily fit around a dozen coworkers simultaneously – and most importantly of all is mere feet away from coffee, pizza and beer.
Without negotiation on price – and with 10 coworkers renting full-time – its about £200pm – although obviously this price would fall when subsidized by hot-desking, virtual office services, room hire etc. As soon as we hit the 10 mark, we’ll be in a position to begin talking to the estate agent and actually open the coworking space.

We’ve also put funding into the Creative Industries Innovation Fund for desking and equipment so we’ll see where that takes us.

We definitely want to see permanent residents but also a smattering of Bedouin workers and temporary hotdeskers who just need a a conducive environment and some kick ass equipment.

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!

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.”

The last nine months have been some of the most productive, inspiring months of my life. Eamon Leonard and Eoghan McCabe took on the coworking philosophy and wore it proudly. Last February, Eoghan and I decided to go into business together. We share similar ambition, goals and ideals in business and in what we do and our skills complemented that wonderfully. Last week, we announced and formally launched Contrast, the two of us partnered with Belfast coworking champion David Rice and skilled usability expert Des Traynor.

Both Dave and Des were frequent guests in TL01 over the past few months. And during our time there, we hosted some big names from the international technology community. A bunch of friends joined us for our Christmas party. Earlier this year, we had drinks with LA blogger Sean Bonner. OS X developer and CouchDB contributor Jan Lehnardt joined us during his stint here for XTech Dublin.

For the Irish Open Source Technology Conference, Geoffrey Grosenbach of the Ruby on Rails podcast joined us, as did PHP Pear president David Coallier.

But perhaps what’s more impressive about TL01 was not what went on there, but what’s come out of it. Eamon has set up his own business Echo Libre, and is doing impressive client work with some exciting products in development.

Eoghan and I have moved to new offices in Merrion Street, where we hope to keep the spirit of coworking alive once we’ve settled in and got the place looking spick and span (the paint has only just dried!)

To TL01, I say goodbye, I’ve had a wonderful year and from the experience great things have come to my life, not to mention two good friends in Eamon and Eoghan.

To Eamon, I say thanks, you’ve been an inspiration and a mentor, as well as a true friend and a great guy to share a pint with.

To everyone else I say this:

If you’re a freelancer, home worker or teleworker and working from home is leading to the kind of drag where you’re just not getting out enough, or you feel that your creativity could do with some company, I urge you, I plea with you: set up or join a coworking space. Do it for yourself, do it for Dublin, do it for the community. And one more thing: just do it. Dive right in… at the very worst you can go back to where you were if things don’t work out.

Indeed, there are three spare desks as of right now in TL01 and there are a couple of spare offices in the building. Emmett Harten, our landlord, is one of the nicest men alive and he totally gets the whole movement. If you’re interested in setting up a space or joining an existing office, you could do worse to give him a call. His number is 085 718 3595 or you can email him at space28@mac.com.
