We’re hosting a Jelly

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Since we’re having so much fun with it, we’ve decided to host a Jelly at our coworking space at 28 Maple Street.

Jelly

It’ll happen Tuesday, July 21, from 10am – 4pm.

We’ve been working with the folks who brought Jelly to town, Chelsea Baker, Nat May and our friends at the Space Gallery (congrats on the new Web site, guys!), to try to hold Jellies bi-monthly. For now, we’re aiming for a Jelly @ Space on the first Tuesday of the month and one at our place on the third Tuesday.

So come on down! There’s plenty of bandwidth to share and we’ll keep the coffee hot.

Jelly: the Sequel

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Jelly

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!
