The Free Coworking Campaign develops and  issues its first daily Paper.li edition. The idea is to integrate more daily news on coworking, free coworking and coworking related technology. The format is new to us, so we very much welcome and invite your feedback, ideas and collaboration. Please comment below or send to redaktion@coworking-news.de

We are very excited to use this new tool and are looking forward to provide another valuable service for you.  

When we started on the 2nd of June 2009, Coworking in Germany was still very young. There were very few Coworking Spaces. In those days, we set up the German CoWorking Directory and we initiated the connection and exchange of German Coworking Spaces, which resulted in the first Coworking Week in Germany.  In November 2010, we launched the European CoWorking Directory. On the turn of 2011 to 2012 we formulated the evolution of coworking with “free coworking”, which resulted in the Free Coworking Map and the massive growth of the Coworking Calendar, that we had started in April 2011.  

Many of you might have read that “Loosecubes” has shut down on Friday 16th of November 2012. I tried to contact Loosecubes for an explanation but did not get an answer. Venturebeat and techcrunch had similar responses. Now there is wide speculation why a company that allegedly raised a substantial amount of money in the last couple of months has closed.  

We are very happy to announce and support the first National unConference on Coworking and Work in Alessandria Italy on the 22/23 of September 2012. The organizers have invited more than 30 speakers for the two day event. If you register by tomorrow (31st of August 2012), you can still benefit from a 25% registration discount.

For more events on Coworking please refer to the “Open International Coworking Calendar“.

A very lively and well organized Coworking Conference in Tokyo took place last week. Coworking in Japan is growing at a fast rate and the pictures on Flickr are a very good indicator for the potential and vibrant energy of Japanese Coworking. Congratulations to everybody who made this happen!!!
