Carrboro Creative Coworking

One of my goals is to create coworking spaces that are short distances from where people live. Because the Triangle area, Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill/Carrboro [RDCH], is spread out this is a challenge. The first thing to do to reach this goal is to gauge interest. Its what I did for almost two years before I opened CCC.

So if you'd like to see more coworking spaces in the Triangle please take this survey and let us know where.

Thanks!

Come to Carrboro Creative Coworking Friday June 12 at 6pm for a group show of color photography and the fine sounds of Gmish's Klezmer music.

The Carrboro Rich Internet Applications Meetup Group - June Meetup

Date: Thursday June 18 7pm - 9pm
Where: Carrboro Creative Coworking, 205 Lloyd Street, Suite 101, Carrboro, NC 27510

Topic: Exploring Cappuccino
Speakers: Blake Watters & Jeremy Ellison of Objective 3

Cappuccino is an open source application framework for developing applications that look and feel like the desktop software users are familiar with.

Cappuccino is built on top of standard web technologies like JavaScript, and it implements most of the familiar APIs from GNUstep and Apple's Cocoa frameworks. When you program in Cappuccino, you don't need to concern yourself with the complexities of traditional web technologies like HTML, CSS, or even the DOM. The unpleasantries of building complex cross browser applications are abstracted away for you.

Join the Carrboro Rich Internet Applications Meetup as we take a tour of Cappuccino and examine exactly what this new framework has to offer. Experience with GNUStep/Cocoa is not required -- we'll walk through the fundamentals as we get started.

June first TWO window offices will be available at Carrboro Creative Coworking. Both come with basic furnishings like chairs and desks. We have WiFi, coffee, a technical book library, and a community of brilliant people.

Recently several new office coworkers moved in. One is a real estate software company and another is a senior editor for a big technical magazine. Plus there are a ton of software developers making cool stuff like iPhone applications.

Please contact me if you have any questions. I'd really appreciate it if you'd share this info with friends. :)

On Wednesday May 27 at 6:30pm join other entrepreneurs working on startups here at CCC. There is no ridged schedule or speaker planned. We'll just talk about startup culture here in the Triangle and exchange ideas. Coffee, water, and soda will be provided. Folks plan on bringing snacks. Feel free to do the same. If you like other kinds of beverages its BYOB. I'm sure lots of people will share.

If you're interested in attending leave a comment at the NC Startup Blog. This event is cosponsored by SpringStage and the North Carolina Startup Blog. Big thanks to Marc Dewalle for suggesting and organizing this event.

We now have nine regular FREE meetups here at CCC. Got an idea for a new one? Find a date and time that is available on our calendar and contact me. Several more events in the works right now. Dig it!
