Of course we've been very aware of your involvement in coworking/hotdesking and will be covering that, and more, in an upcoming post :) Yourself and the Contrast guys stand out as pioneers in this area in Ireland and we'd be very interested to learn more from you on your experiences. For instance, what are the insurance/legal issues, etc, around offering hotdesking spaces in your office? @Helen thanks for joining in the conversation - we're looking forward to learning from the growing community of hotdeskers and coworkers in Ireland. @Eamon, thanks!

Coworking is a subject close to my heart ;-) Myself, Paul Campbell and Eoghan McCabe shared the same ideals as you about Coworking, and we ran our freelance careers from what I believe to be the first Coworking space in Dublin; we called it TL01 (it was the number on the door), and it ran from July 2007 to June 2008. Eoghan and Paul moved out of the space to get Contrast up and running, and a few months later I did the same with my company, echolibre. For us, Coworking wasn't *just* about having a collaborative work environment. It's about having a space where ideas can actually become a reality, if you get the right mix of personalities and talent. TL01 wasn't the end of the Coworking and hotdesking experiment for us. When I found an office for echolibre, I wanted to recreate a Coworking environment - more info here: http://coworkingsws.echolibre.com/ . We have a spare desk set up for hotdesking, and offer it up to anyone who works on the web, and needs a few hours with free wifi. Also, one of our Coworking desks is freeing up at the end of March, so we're looking for someone to take it over. I hope you don't mind the cheeky plugs, James. Next time you're in Dublin feel free to drop into us - 24 South William Street. Hi James,
