The Hat Factory is community office space for geeks and media hackers. We're a group of open sourcers, video bloggers, Drupal developers, and more who are tired of working from coffee shops and home every day. Join us
Join us for an all day open house on Wednesday, December 17th. The Hat Factory is opening her doors for an open day of coworking. We'll have drinks & snacks on hand, you just need to bring yourself and your laptop. If you've been thinking about coworking and haven't taken the plunge, this is a great way to get a sense of what it's like around here.
Here's the announcement on Upcoming.
Another great story on coworking, this one in the New York Times. This article's author Lisa Belkin, is a work from home writer who decided home wasn't always conducive to getting things done. She explored a coworking space in Connecticut which turns out to be a bit more formal than the Hat Factory (we don't care how you dress here). Lisa talks to several coworking operators including myself here at the HF.
More media coverage on this great movement we call coworking. The San Francisco Chronicle did a pretty good job describing the value, history and sense of what coworking is all about. As is mentioned in the story, the Hat Factory came into being as a coworking space shortly after Brad Neuberg and others were looking for a more permanent place to call home. Now we are one of half dozen coworking spaces in the Bay area. In case you are wondering, yes, we do have space for new coworkers here.
Thanks to Daily Candy for the mention today and welcome dear readers. Have a look around and if you see what you like, drop us an email or give a call and we'll set you up for a free day to experience the Hat Factory co-working magic.
Join us as the "co-hopping" bus stops at the Hat Factory on Thursday, December 13th between 6:30 & 10pm. A bio-diesel bus driven by the energetic Betty Biodiesel will be making the rounds among five coworking locations in San Francisco, including Citizen Space, Sandbox Suites, The Altrupreneur Center, AF83 and us, the Hat Factory. If you are new or just curious about the idea of coworking, this is an excellent opportunity to learn a bit about what each of these coworking locations has to offer.
