We’re hoping to provide coworking space targeting three groups, the Information & Communication Technology sector, the Creative Industries, and the Green/Sustainability sector which corresponds to three of the industry clusters we fascilitate in Vancouver’s inner-city.

Contact me if you want to know more.

Hi Raul — nice liveblog as always.

Re: few people from the tech “community” attending

I didn’t hear anything about this event, otherwise I could have made time to attend

Of course, I could say no one from this effort came to BarCamp. It’s the responsibility of everyone that “bridges” different interest groups to work on communication and coordination between the two, and you’re always a good example of someone that strives to do this.

It’s not a bad thing that many different groups are looking at such shared spaces. As I said, everyone will have different needs, and we can look to collaborate on areas of overlap, but also “know when to fork”.

There were tech people there, the tech community is more than a few people who talk a lot… Enough people were there that you could build a business plan around.

Thanks Raul,

Appreciate your transcribing key moments from the meeting. I missed the co-working space discussion at bcv09 but believe it’s an important issue.

It sounds like the pieces are all there, but there is a need for a strong collaborative style leader to facilitate the coordination of the many different efforts on this space and concentrate them to ensure success.

…isn’t that always the way
