Coworking space

We need a place to work from. We need an address. Coworking sounds a good option.

* The Hub is a coworking space for people and projects willing to create a better world. It sounds like an ideal place to start to work from. We should visit and review if that would solve our need. If not, we could also offer them talks about Wikimedia projects. Problem is it seems they don't offer H24 access. The Hub website

Closed down as of November 2012. Hybirdd (talk) 11:43, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

• SPQRobin used the BetaGroup Coworking space. They offer H24 access.
• There is also The Loft @ Forest
