Facilitating Change

Jellyweek DC — January 18 @TRYST in Adams Morgan

17. January 2012

No programming. Just bring your laptop and work. I'm hoping local DC coworking folks will come represent and let us know about all of the options in the metro DC area.

I'm finally sharing this workshop report. It's a personal account for those who were not able to attend. I’ve tried to give a sense of the flavor of the meeting and the range of topics and issues that came up.
