Community OWNED Newsroom Cafe?
So another thought on a local cafe as newsroom, as meetup spot, as collaborative space that I and others have been talking about recently. If it really is to be more of a community space or a collaborative environment and needs to be designed around the needs of web users then why don’t web users own and design it? Why don’t we get a few hundred of the people that are interested in the east bay (bloggers, journalists, software developers, web junkies) to pony up for it the way My Football Club did with Ebbsfleet via small investments to start it up? Let this majority owning cooperative help design the features it should have for them and their community while the space hopefully becomes self supporting as a cafe.
