The Pow Wow

The OpenHub after 2 Months

What a ride!
We opened our doors in October for the first members to join and officially launched the in early December 2007. Current status: Finished the re-furbishment and ready operate. The place has seen several builders who built our meeting room, installed the alarm system and finshed bits and pieces. Thank you to all the members who did put up with the noise during that time. The Wii Console, coffee machine and microwave make the place now a bit more social. We have 14 workstations with 6 full-time members, some part-time members and several day-pass members.

The OpenHub website was launched (www.openhub.com.au). Members can use the new website to book desks and pay membership fees. Some more iterations of the website are planned for the first quater of 2008.

What's next?
We want to sign-up additional members within the next 2 months to cover operational costs and make sure that Coworking in Melbourne is here to stay.

I have to say it was really fun to see the OpenHub shaping up. A big thanks to the members who joined so far who make the place a nice place to work.

OpenHub has a home!

We have been on the verge of announcing this for a few weeks now, but finally it's official. We have signed a lease on a great space at 140 Queen st! It's got some excellent natural light with it being quite a long shape running along the windows looking out onto Queen st (and the Turf bar). As you come off the lifts you can see straight inside through a good amount of glass.

The builders are currently in there working to remove all the old fittings, putting in new carpet and repainting it. We are putting together an office layout which we will handover to have construction start quite soon. So it's still a work in progress but we're looking ok for our November 1st opening!
