Coworking in East Bay California

 

Berkeley Coworking

 

We have a go for a Berkeley Coworking space at 2930 Shattuck Ave Ste 305 (near Ashby BART and the Berkeley Bowl), Berkeley CA 94705-1883. We are still in transition, but anchors are moving in and if you don't mind the mess you are welcome to drop by. More details on wiki page.

Next Steps / Help needed

 

Ted Tagami I am active with the SF Coworking but live in Albany. I'm looking at the perimeter of UCB currently. Would like to have something before September.

 

Several unrelated topics related to making progress happen in the 510: -- Raines, 9 May 2007

 

  1. I would like to host a gathering here at Berkeley Cohousing (middle/West Berkeley, Sacramento @ Bancroft, not far from BART, 1 mile from Albany, bus to downtown Oakland stops out front) to help get an East Bay coworking effort underway.
  2. It might be possible to do something in conjunction with some East Bay cohousing common house locations, on a very nomadic basis, where a member living there is willing to participate.
  3. Some people have expressed interest in an experiment at The Hillside Club in Berkeley, for weekday-only coworking; as a member, I'd be willing to lay the groundwork for a one-day trial if enough people are committed and paid to cover the cost.

 

 

comment: What/where is the Hillside Club? -- Noah on 5/10/07

 

  1. Also, there's a homework-assistance program near here (next to the HomeMade Cafe, Sacramento at Dwight) that is available for hourly rental probably during school hours, and it has internet and tables already.
  2. And finally, when editing this page, please include a date so others can assess the currency of your interest without having to slog through page-modification-history-comparisons.

Now that the SanFranciscoCoworking has settled on a place that isn't near BART, I'm interested in knowing if anyone is interested coworking in the East Bay, either near a BART station or in Berkeley/Emeryville/Albany. -- Christopher Allen

 

comment: actually, there is space called BunkerStudios (which I use) 4 blocks south + 3 blocks east from 16th and Mission BART. -- DmitryKohmanyuk

comment: I think Chris wrote above before CitizenSpace spun off to a not-far-from-BART location. -__- Raines, 9 May 2007__

 

 

There's a large space for rent on College Ave @ Claremont - short walk from Rockridge BART, short bus/bike ride from Cal campus: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/off/328344949.html. I might be interested in going in on this with some folks, particularly if there's someone who's willing to take the lead on turning this into a real coworking space and/or knows the legal ins and outs of doing so -- Noah on 5/10/07

 

 

Ken Sedgwick I'm interested in Albany/Berkeley/Emeryville/Oakland.

 

Rocky Kahn I have a one-room office suitable for 2-3 people at a time a block away from Downtown Berkeley BART. It's at 2002 Addison st. I'd consider sharing or joining another coworking situation. rocky at_sign teampatent -.- com

 

Erik Hopp I live in Berkeley. I am a founder and member of Quilted.org. I have another Quilted member and a roomate also interested.

 

Dean I need out of my basement and am interested in sharing space with web designers / marketers/ or programmers/. Does anyone have available space? Berkeley/emeryville/oakland. contact me at webmaster at organicpop (dot) com

 

Noah -- I live in Oakland (Rockridge) and working from home is making me a little batty. I'm a freelance tech journalist and consultant currently working for/on a couple of Web-based startups. Often work at local cafes on College ave, but would love a nicer space more dedicated to work and meeting like-minded folks. Have wide-ranging interests within work-stuff (technology and education, primarily) and beyond work-stuff (music, amongst others). Would definitely be interested in a space in Oakland or Berkeley, preferably something bigger than 2-4 desk spaces so it has a chance of developing into something of a community. Would also be interested in exploring setting up a HatFactory-esque space in the East Bay as a nonprofit or business unto itself. I'm at nk at threebase dot com.

 

Britt Bravo. I work from home in Oakland and would love to find a place similar to Citizen Space or the Hat Factory in Oakland where I could work a couple days a week. I'm a blogger, podcaster and nonprofit consultant. I'd love to find some women in the East Bay interested in co-working as well.

 

Christopher Allen - I have found a space in Berkeley on Shattuck near Ashby BART, however, we need at least a couple more desks committed to before the current leaseholder is willing to convert the space. Talk to me soon if you are interested.

 

Greta: I'm a freelance journalist living in Oakland and I'm interested in finding/starting a SF Grotto/Citizen Space/Hat Factory type cowork space in Oakland/Emeryville/Berkeley or somewhere thereabouts. I'd probably only need a desk 2-3 days a week and I'd like to not pay more than $200 a month (which seems to be about the going rate, in SF at least).

 

Len is interested in a drop-in coworking spot in Oakland. I have a regular corporate office, but sometimes need to be closer to home, but have no home office space that is "kid proof" 14 Sept 2007.
