We're trying to gauge interest in developing a permanent dedicated
coworking space in downtown Ann Arbor. This might include shared
office space, meeting and training space, a private cafe, a "makers'
den" for electronic and other fabrication projects. Any or all of
those. The space might be run by a private concern, a nonprofit
organization, or an ad hoc collaboration. It might be a membership
organization, a business of its own, or a cooperative. Or something else.

Let's explore what it might be, and why you might want to participate.

Where: Ann Arbor District Library Freespace, 3rd floor, Downtown Ann
Arbor library building

When: Monday, May 19, 7-8:30pm

The meeting space is reserved from 5pm through 8:30pm, but we will
officially begin proceedings at 7pm. If enough interest is generated,
we may run two 90-minute rounds of discussion. Please let us know if
you're coming.

Who: Organized by Not An Employee, LLC
(http://notanemployee.net/blog/2008/05/ann-arbor-town-hall-meeting-on-coworking/
)

Space in the Library conference room is limited to 32 people. If more
want to attend and discuss the prospects for coworking, we will try to
arrange a second session, and extend discussion after the meeting at
one of the other local meeting venues.

Please let us know if you'd like to attend. You may want to use the
free service at Upcoming.org to coordinate
(http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/583701/ ) or you can leave a comment
on the blog post or drop us an email. Thanks!
