A little co-working Jelly
I’ve been discussing co-working lately and I discovered an interesting variation of it. Co-working is strongly connected to a community of like minded souls who like to work together. We’ve been talking about people meeting at a central location with helpful facilities. In other words somewhere to go and get something done. As you would guess this relates to the group of people as well as the location. Well, as it turns out you don’t necessarily need a fixed location.
In 2006, a few friends started getting together to work on their various projects. They met at someone’s apartment or other agreed upon spot. (library, coffee shop, any office area with wi-fi) They put together a web page and before you knew it a movement was born. They call them ‘Jellies’. People started doing them all over the place. You can find local ones listed on their web page.
If you don’t have a local co-working space, you might check and see if a jelly is happening near you. If not, you may want to think about starting one. The web site has advice on this and they appear helpful. It could be the start of entrepreneurial community and maybe even a regular co-working space could be developed from this. This is an exciting option for the single entrepreneur or telecommuter. So, give this a shot. Expand your connections and create a support network.
