Carrboro Creative Coworking

Carrboro is a great place to be a geek. So I want to let the world know we're here and that people should join us.

To facilitate this I bought getcarrboro.com, .net, and .org last night. I'd like to set up a website that demonstrates how cool our tech community is. I really want this to be a community built project. Its goal is to brag on you and your Carrboro based technology company. So if you're a coder, writer, or web designer join us!

We'll be gathering Sunday July 18 at Carrboro Creative Coworking from 10am till whenever. I'll buy lunch and have snacks. Let me know if you can make it.

Please spread the word.

This Friday April 23 at 6:30pm we're showing a movie at CCC to help benfit vicitims of the recent earthquake in Chile. The movie is called Historias de fútbol. IMDB says, "Three vignettes about the lives of young Chileans and their passions and frustrations over one of the century's most important rituals." (It has english subtitles). CCC is working with Javier Velasco in partnership with Ayuda a Ayudar. Suggested donation is $10. Join us!

Local attorney Mital Patel is joining us tomorrow at noon for lunch here at Carrboro Coworking. (April 21, 2010) I met him at the first RTP Lean Startup Circle. He's a entrepreneurial computer science major with a law degree! Its a really unique combo! Come ask Mital questions and meet an cool attorney who gets it. Bring your own lunch if you like. I'll have a few pizza's for those of us who forget. :)

Here's his bio:
Mital M. Patel focuses his law practice on serving small businesses and tech startup companies. He experiences range from helping businesses with issues regarding incorporation, intellectual property, employment, to mergers and acquisitions. His background as a computer programmer and entrepreneur allow him to speak his clients' "language" and provide sound legal counsel. Mital developed his passion for technology when he majored in Computer Science at NC State University and received his legal training as a Charter member of the Elon University School of Law.

Have you heard of the Lean Startup? It's a group of methods for starting and running a business, and it has its roots in lean manufacturing, customer development and agile methodology. We're kicking off with a primer on Lean Startups by Nathaniel Talbott of Terralien; no need to bring anything except a desire to learn.

As part of this first meeting we'll be soliciting feedback on where you'd like to see the group go, so come armed with any suggestions or thoughts you have.

RSVP here.
