[Ruby] Shared Space (off-topic)

[Alex Vollmer]

There's a group of folks looking to acquire some shared space in  
Pioneer Square for general hang-out and nerd-out space. I thought I'd  
forward this to the group in case anyone else is interested. If you  
want in, contact Justin Martenstein directly at justinmartenstein at gmail.com 
.

The building is at:

Cheers,

Alex V.

> - pricing is being set tentatively at $150 / month
> - the space is going to be kept intentionally grungy open, and

> should go to one of the other co-working offices (Office Nomads /
> StartPad)
> - we're moving very fast on this, and bootstrapping as we go - if you
> can make an up-front donation or loan (money, furniture, whatever),
> then please email me back; we can probably work out some kind of
> re-compensation later
> - as of right now, Saturdays are being set aside for Saturday House;
> all tenants should be aware that the space will probably be jammed
> with people on those days
>
> If you no other people who might be interested in working with us,
> please feel free to contact them, or to foward this message. Thanks!
