Note with in writely file. (can someone link to this file? I don't know how to, James)
Copied and pasted from writely as:
What are the problems?
james - finding passionate people, right people for a startup, "irrational passion"
scott - addressing interests & needs to bring shared passions to fruition - meshing peoples motives and needs
Co-community exist corporate legal defined co-workers?
Proactive
Opensource, ruby well planned, need hierachy, one master visionary
Open-source? Same model?
trust? how do you trsut someone you haven't met before? is there reputation today?
why decentration co workers not parvasive today? Time cost too high, trust, quality, technical quality, lack of references, cashflow (nil in opensource?), Trust, finding the right people, web, too young? (rich or failed) Unknow v working with web2.0 blogger stars?
divergent agendas, un-developed business model
unkonowns
Demand, what's the purpose
personal passion projects
freelanced independent work
going through craigslist for work
questions about an area that require an expert of some sort
How we do it
One guy on top? What how do you find them?
Need to build a corporate legal identity to co-ordinate co-workers? Do we need the legal part?
What's the reward
Need a business model
Yes, I see. --billz
Huy - self demand, personal example
Scott -New to the neighborhood - get to know people
Fill in story move to new place, ability to find... people who can support ideas, people who have complimentary skills, people who inspire with ideas, collaboration
Lunch / Post Lunch :
Ideas for compensation models:
Stock
Value
Traditional
Percentage Valuation - shares
work on project gets valued as a percentage contribution
(ownership) shares become your investment + your commitment of project
(priority on future iterations) - project manager stays on
What need does this serve:
Physical Resources (Access - e.g. sharing a house as meeting space)
Skill resources
Niche Knowledge Sharing
What is the ultimate goal:
Case study in shared working model for domains other than software development
Tools in CoWorking Environment -
Time Management / Calendar
Managing Resource Conflicts
Credit for Contributions (Resources, Time, Skills, Ideas)
Willingness to be Open (code exchange) Ideology
Definitions:
Perspectives on Coworking (#1 Issue in Decentrialized CoWorking environment)
Betters tools, face to face import, Facillitate sharing of resourses (knowledge, time, physical resources) between individuals with complementary agendas.
Number of people, what is optimal number. How set individualized goals, decentralized.
Trust and reputation, does , does not, can still trust. Put time limits
Need to tap into passion - which will set up the constraints of shared agendas - how can the coworking environment allow people to work together on values-based project
connect value in the world with practice of coworkers
GOAL:
3 minute give back to Barcamp at 4pm
All participate, circles on slide, intro , middle, end.

baking a cake
barcamp birthday cake baking,
cake picture - http://antianticulture.com/cake.jpg - yes or no? it has 1 candle
intro to decentralized cake analogy -james
Split from Chris Co-workers, spilt to de-centralized sub group, chose tool, writely, brain storm framework, etc. Enourge you to review the process and summaried in this story:
Intro story: idea, cake, idea cool, ask social network to review idea? Personalized v buy big co. Requirement (as best as I know them) Internet to find people.
Verbalised.I have this great idea, wouldn't it be great to surprise barcamp with a cake to celebrate its first birthday. I don't want a cheap/made by the big co. straight off the shelf, I see a cake with a logo, one candle, large enough to share, I am 8,000 kilmomeres from home, how do I find people to make this happen?
tools to bake the cake (oven, ingredients) -Scott
Sharing resources:
so i decide that I am going to get a cake together and assemble it at barcamp
Tools are embedded in the community
The idea is:
1 making tools / resources visible
2 rewarding people who contribute to the community
