The next JellyinAtlanta Coworking session has been scheduled for Friday, December 17th (rsvp via this link) at Urban Grind in downtown Atl. This will be Jelly #3!
JellyinAtlanta was mentioned in yesterday's Daily Candy Atlanta! Congrats Kristyn!
I've updated the wiki page for Atlanta Coworking to reflect recent developments. If you're just starting to learn about coworking events in Atlanta, start there!
If you'd like to keep up to date on Coworking events happening all around Atlanta, join the "Coworking Atlanta" group in Yahoo's Upcoming service. Jelly is the only gig in town as of now, but hopefully there will soon be more!
Kristyn writes on the Jelly wiki:
I've picked up a lot of chatter about a Jelly on the northside of town - I think this is a great idea! After Jelly3 (December7), we'll look at spots on the northside for a get together. This may become another Jelly altogether, or we may just alternate locations to try and accomodate everyone's locale. Hope you can make it on December 7th! Thanks! ks
As I mentioned in a previous post, I want to start a Coworking group on the north side of Atlanta. However, I don't want to fragment the community while it's still budding and have been trying to gauge the initial demand for Coworking. The current idea for Jelly right now is to have an event every other week or so. I'd like to get to the point where there is a Coworking event happening every week somewhere around Atlanta. This way we can be as inclusive as possible while also providing people the opportunity to Cowork regardless of their geographic location.
It's all a question of timing, and while I may be getting ahead of myself due to excitement, I do feel like there will soon (within a matter of months) be enough momentum to support a number of loosely (and strongly!) tied Coworking groups meeting all around the Atl.
As for what to call a Jelly spinoff? Right now I'm thinking "Nap Coworking", for: North Atlanta Peoples Coworking. Or: North Atlanta Professionals Coworking. Or even: North Atlanta Productive Coworking! Perhaps the "P" could stand for whatever you want it to. The tagline? "It's Nap time in North Atlanta!" or "Join us for the most productive Nap time ever!"
In the meantime, I think it would be best to at least have one JellyinAtlanta on the north side to keep the momentum of the core group going and growing.
Thoughts?
