RoCoCo everyday at Bande-Passante
Everyday is a RoCoCo day at la Bande-Passante. It’s sort of a coworking space too, if you believe the coWorking wiki ;) Why am I bringing this up? Well, it just so happens the next RecentChangesCamp (we call it RoCoCo) will be taking place in a month, May 18 to 20. A 3-day meeting on collaboration, creativity and autoregulated management. If you know your greek roots at all, the study of autoregulated management is synonymous with cybernetics, and I mean the real deal. But most importantly, RoCoCo promises to be packed with intelligent people craving collaboration and the processes that best enable it. It won’t cost you a cent, so why not drop by the SAT next month and see what it’s all about.
It also appears coworking spaces are popping up all over North America. Bande-Passante is a little different, with 95% of the workers being associated with Koumbit. Still, I just answered a few questions in a phone interview with Roberto Rocha, a Gazette journalist. When asked why they’re starting to bloom, I couldn’t help but reply Web 2.0… when you take it at its roots and forget the rounded corners for a minute.
We can’t say coworking in Montreal without mentionning Patrick’s project (wiki page and google group). Looks very promising!
i didnt understand the greek roots part. poor of me. mmm the greeks, cybernetics, management?
about the coworking spaces, i think it s just a general trend of work. 40 years ago, people wanted a job for life. now, things are much faster. the Internet is the tool that allows coworking spaces happen

Its original meaning got diluted so much in the last 30 years, it’s hardly recognizable today. Another word schtroumpfed.
