So my country is a near-shore outsourcing paradise. With great  
developers, reduced rates ( we are not used to charge by hour ) ,  
fluent english , 6 hour plane from LA , Central-Standard-Time. ....

We are trying to create a community to move people into startup land  
and plant a couple of open source mentality seeds.

There is no real user group here and most people in the industry don't  
know each other.

What do you think is the best way to engage people into the coworking  
idea.

Any advice or even better, help building some momentum from the  
outside in.

thanks!

Hey guys,

I’m moving to Costa Rica and looking into starting up a co-op working space.

I’ll be getting over in August to find the ideal location and start putting a plan together.

Please let me know what you think, what you’d like in a co-op working space or any advice you’d have on the topic.

Kind regards,

Ed
