Happy new year all

Well it hasn't been the best start to the year for me, with a few (costly) things having happened *sigh*

Still - got the health ey.

Sadly at this stage I can no longer progress with CoWorking Auckland as I just can't raise the funds to secure a venue. I'm not totally giving up on this, just my goal of launching by end of Feb 08 isn't going to happen (unless I win lotto this weekend!!)

We'll look at maybe setting up a mailing list or Google Group next week

Hello one and all

Okay, so I gather there is a need for a CoWorking location in Auckland New Zealand. CoWorking is a fantastic idea and to have one set up in Auckland around the CBD or city fringe would be fantastic.

I know there has been talk of doing this for a while, well I'm prepared to put my money where my mouth is. Currently I don't have an office space, but as I create a couple of business ideas next year I'm going to need space - that's where I'd like to invite you to join me.

Small business is what drives New Zealand, and yet it is so darn hard to establish and build a small business here. I want to create a place that makes it just a little easier. With great coffee laying the foundation, a good venue and access to tools and services you'd normally only find in a large office. I'm thinking that we start with a great venue, adding some good coffee (and other drinks), putting in some desks and other furniture, adding some kick-ass technology (think high speed fiber connection, big fancy printers, wifi, digital projectors etc), to have some meeting rooms that can be booked, and such like.

Down the track a bit I'd love to have a business hub available with services like, onsite accountant, business advisors and other such things ... but lets walk before we run.

We've seen some fantastic places set up in San Fran, Seattle, Vancouver etc etc - lets do one here in NZ

If you are keen to see one put in place, want to know more about the plans we've got so far, want to see our blog once we get it going, want to add your thoughts, comments and feedback, drop a note here or on the Google Group.

Rock on everyone

This is a placeholder to poll interest in a coworking group in Auckland (preferably between north of the bridge and Warkworth)

Initially, I think it would good for interested parties to meet at a local cafe - but where to find a nice cafe with wifi north of the bridge?
