Hey everyone, We recently updated our website and decided to embed a google maps page of other spaces that participate in the Coworking Visa program. We found that a visual representation of coworking spaces globally generates a lot of excitement for those that are brand new to coworking, especially our more mobile members. The thought of being able to travel across the world, have a desk waiting for you, and be able to connect to a local community of likeminded people is a revolutionary idea, one that we should probably promote more often. We used the info from the coworking wiki to generate the list of coworking visa participants, but if your space is new or we missed adding your space, please let us know and we’d love to add you onto the page: > **[Mailbox Rental, Meeting Room, Coworking Space & Private Office Space -...](https://www.thenetworkhub.ca)** > > We have been providing virtual mailbox rental, meeting room rental, coworking space rental, private office rental and event space rental. Short-term office space rental available with discount for longer commitment. Our clients have trusted us for... Thanks! jay ---

Yes, very nice! We would like to be added to the map. We just opened our doors on April 1st and are offering the entire month of April as a free month of coworking. Thanks for helping us spread the word and showcasing our space on your site. You can take a pic from the website, or I can send one if that works better.

Hi, Leslie, The way to add your space to the Coworking Visa network is to go [here](http://wiki.coworking.com/w/page/16583831/FrontPage), and ask to be added to the Wiki. And say why you want to be added, one sentence containg the word “Coworking” is good. 🙂 You will then get an email from…ME, you lucky dog, welcoming you to the Wiki and containing handy links to the Directory and also to the Visa Directory. The email is also suitable for framing…okay, kidding about that. BUt not about how you add your space to the Visa Program.

What a beautiful execution! I would like to know if we can mirror this on the Wiki? Also, do you mind if we mirror it on our own sites?

Hi Jay, Maria-Christina Rus [http://coworkingon.es/](http://coworkingon.es/) and I [http://www.free-coworking.org](http://www.free-coworking.org) are thinking along similar lines [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/coworking/eWjsbi\_lPfQ](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/coworking/eWjsbi_lPfQ) . We are spreading coworking and free coworking as well. If you like you can use the data from the Free Coworking Map [http://www.free-coworking.org](http://www.free-coworking.org/), the only thing I would like to ask you is to identify those entries with the free coworking logo [http://www.coworking-news.de/free-coworking-resources/](http://www.coworking-news.de/free-coworking-resources/) . Let us spread coworking and free coworking together!!! Greetings from Germany, Felix [www.free-coworking.org](http://www.free-coworking.org) ![](https://forum.coworking.org/uploads/default/original/1X/866729afeff48c0df7d556acaa72c935a13471f8.jpeg) > **···** > > Am Montag, 15.

Thanks for the updates y’all, your info should now be up on the page. If you’re just reading this post and would like to be added on the map, please continue to post your info on here, as it is the quickest way for us to get that info. However, we also highly recommend following Jeannine’s suggestion of adding your space to the visa page of the coworking wiki. Annnnnd, because y’all asked so darn nicely, we’ll work on a script so you can easily embed the coworking visa map onto your own sites. But may take a couple of weeks as we are still rolling out the rest of our new site, so we have to finish some work on the homefront first. Felix, thanks for the info on the free coworking map you’re working on. At the moment, we might limit the info on the page to the coworking visa program, as it is meant to be used by our members who travel frequently and would like to get a taste of the local coworking flavour when they’re travelling. - jay > **···** > > On Sunday, 14 April 2013 18:56:27 UTC-7, Jay | TheNetworkHub.ca wrote: > > > Hey everyone, > > > We recently updated our website and decided to embed a google maps page of other spaces that participate in the Coworking Visa program.

Just want to reiterate what Jeannine and Rachel mentioned, that if you haven’t added your space onto the Visa page of the Coworking Wiki, please do so now. This helps us have a central repository of all the spaces, including the necessary steps you would like travelling coworkers to take when they visit your space. The posts we request here are only for those on the wiki that we may have missed, as we had to manually enter a lot of this data, and for brand new spaces that haven’t had a chance to get in the wiki yet.

Using the wiki as the primary data source is a great idea. I’m curious to know how you’re converting the data. Oren Salomon and I have been talking quite a bit about the Open Coworking Map idea I was pushing a year ago as part of the Coworking Wiki Project. We didn’t’ raise enough money to do the project then but I’ve continued to see a lot of interest in this area. Perhaps we should combine efforts. The idea behind the OCM is to facilitate spaces to put meta-data on their websites and aggregate all of it into a central, open repository (GitHub actually). This would mean that when spaces close the data would be removed automatically. No one ever remembers to take down their listing when they close their doors.

Hey ya Jacob! 🙂 We edited a template in Wordpress using Google Map API, built our own simple dashboard to enter/edit/delete data. We used Coworking Visa Wiki as the primary data source with minor editing since a few spaces have gone out of business (with their site still online) so I had to reference website and twitter/facebook to ensure current activities. Building the back-end/front-end was the simple piece of the puzzle - the more mysterious piece is the data integrity. We had to add the coworking spaces ourselves (by we, I mean me, there’s no intern or assistant) to preserve data integrity. We looked at scraping Coworking Visa Wiki data but that means we wouldn’t be able to filter the active from inactive, plus from this thread it seems like we missed quite few spaces from the list AND the list isn’t as up to date as we hope. With regard to meta-data, a few spaces that were closed also had a live site which may be a hindrance to the integrity issue. Right now, our low-tech solution is to monitor twitter accounts and maybe do a clean up every few months of inactive space. > **···** > > On Wednesday, 17 April 2013 11:23:31 UTC-7, Jacob Sayles wrote: > > > Using the wiki as the primary data source is a great idea.

Exactly. I’m excited to see you’ve put a good amount of thought and effort into this. Keeping the data clean and up to date is the tricky part, not building a tool. That’s why when we didn’t raise enough money last year I focused on building the wiki team before I tackled any technology. Also having a team is essential for handing things off and keeping them going when the initial volunteers want to move on to other projects. If you are interested in working with us I’d love to have you guys on the team. You seem to be doing a great job on your own but projects like this are exactly why I worked to build this team. Also, I think it’s time I visited. You are only three hours away but it’s been years since I’ve seen you guys. > **···** > > Jacob > > * * * > > Office Nomads - Individuality without Isolation > [http://www.officenomads.com](http://www.officenomads.com) - (206) 323-6500 > > On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 12:03 AM, Minna Van | TheNetworkHub.ca [mv...@thenetworkhub.ca](mailto:mv...@thenetworkhub.ca) wrote: > > > Hey ya Jacob! 🙂 > > > We edited a template in Wordpress using Google Map API, built our own simple dashboard to enter/edit/delete data. > > > > > > We used Coworking Visa Wiki as the primary data source with minor editing since a few spaces have gone out of business (with their site still online) so I had to reference website and twitter/facebook to ensure current activities.

Also having a team is essential for handing things off and keeping them going when the initial volunteers want to move on to other projects. If you are interested in working with us I’d love to have you guys on the team. You seem to be doing a great job on your own but projects like this are exactly why I worked to build this team. > > > Also, I think it’s time I visited.

Building the back-end/front-end was the simple piece of the puzzle - the more mysterious piece is the data integrity. We had to add the coworking spaces ourselves (by we, I mean me, there’s no intern or assistant) to preserve data integrity. > > > > > > > > We looked at scraping Coworking Visa Wiki data but that means we wouldn’t be able to filter the active from inactive, plus from this thread it seems like we missed quite few spaces from the list AND the list isn’t as up to date as we hope. With regard to meta-data, a few spaces that were closed also had a live site which may be a hindrance to the integrity issue. Right now, our low-tech solution is to monitor twitter accounts and maybe do a clean up every few months of inactive space. > > > > > > > > On Wednesday, 17 April 2013 11:23:31 UTC-7, Jacob Sayles wrote: > > > > > Using the wiki as the primary data source is a great idea. I’m curious to know how you’re converting the data. Oren Salomon and I have been talking quite a bit about the Open Coworking Map idea I was pushing a year ago as part of the Coworking Wiki Project. We didn’t’ raise enough money to do the project then but I’ve continued to see a lot of interest in this area. Perhaps we should combine efforts. > > > > > The idea behind the OCM is to facilitate spaces to put meta-data on their websites and aggregate all of it into a central, open repository (GitHub actually). This would mean that when spaces close the data would be removed automatically. No one ever remembers to take down their listing when they close their doors.

We found that a visual representation of coworking spaces globally generates a lot of excitement for those that are brand new to coworking, especially our more mobile members. The thought of being able to travel across the world, have a desk waiting for you, and be able to connect to a local community of likeminded people is a revolutionary idea, one that we should probably promote more often. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > We used the info from the coworking wiki to generate the list of coworking visa participants, but if your space is new or we missed adding your space, please let us know and we’d love to add you onto the page: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > [http://www.thenetworkhub.ca/free-workspace/](http://www.thenetworkhub.ca/free-workspace/) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > jay > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > – > > > > > > > > > > Visit this forum on the web at [http://discuss.coworking.com](http://discuss.coworking.com) > > > > > > > > > > * * * > > > > > > > > > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “Coworking” group. > > > > > > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). > > > > > > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [coworking+...@googlegroups.com](mailto:coworking+...@googlegroups.com). > > > > > > > > [Next page](https://forum.coworking.org/t/coworking-visa-map/4724.md?page=2)
