Jelly: the Sequel
July 8th, 2009
A Jelly coworking session was held yesterday at the Space Gallery between 10:00am and 4:00pm. There were roughly 15 people there at any time.
There was a lot happening:
Sarah Wallace (@sarah_wallace) and I brainstormed to develop the social media strategy of a Pemaquid Client.
Casey Rosenthal (@caseyrosenthal), one of our coworking partners at the 28 Maple Street space, helped me determine that Shopify was probably the best e-commerce option for a small business Client.
Alex Steed (@alexsteed) and I discussed ways to work together to develop the tech community in Portland, and we batted around an idea for an iPhone app.
Jordan Warren (@jmwarren19), Pemaquid’s intern, helped set up Google Apps for one of our Clients. She and I also learned an important lesson on spelling errors (but that’s another story).
I met videographer and prolific twitterer Chris Cavallari (@chriscavs) IRL.
Chelsea Baker (@charmquark) filled me in on her new job at Grace, Portland’s newest restaurant.
I got to know Mikey Hougland (@lamikey – photo below) a Web designer from Providence, Rhode Island who is looking to relocate to Portland. Like me, she uses Coda. We’re glad to have you, Mikey!
Good to meet you Rob. I hope that we get to work together soon!
Yay Jelly. Come hangout with us on the 21st at 28 Maple for another Jelly. I need to meet people so when my internship is done I can find some place to work.
Thanks for sharing your table Rob! Clearly I had a really great time (see photo). Feel free to pass along neighborhood advice, we’re (@lamikey + @scoutsprout) still getting to know the scene. Looking forward to checking out your diggs on the 21st.
