			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Isabelle Laporte, a freelance journalist, came to interview us at <a href="http://station-c.com/">Sation C</a>. Her story, published in <a href="http://www.cyberpresse.ca/"><em>La Presse</em></a>, focuses on the emerging co-working phenomenon. But the thing I&#8217;m most happy about is her mention of <a href="http://station-c.com/uncategorized/open-salad-tuesdays/">Open Salad</a>, which I learned about from my friends at the <a href="http://www.socialinnovation.ca/">Centre for Social Innovation</a> and have since championed at Station C. It works effortlessly at CSI, where there are over 100 residents, but needs serious attention to keep it going at our still-small co-working in Montreal (barely 20 residents plus <a href="http://station-c.com/updates/dautres-changements/">&#8220;light residents&#8221; and occasional drop-ins</a>). This week I had to entice folks with <a href="http://www.cidrerie-michel-jodoin.qc.ca/site/project_light.htm">apple wine</a>!</p>
<blockquote><p>À la Station C, en plein coeur du Mile End, les utilisateurs, qu&#8217;on appelle des membres, insistent effectivement sur l&#8217;attrait du contact avec les gens. Dans le grand loft, il n&#8217;y a d&#8217;ailleurs pas de bureaux fermés, seulement de grandes tables de travail communes. Deux salles de conférence peuvent servir aux appels de nature privée ou de longue durée.</p>
<p>Christine Préfontaine, membre assidue de la Station C, n&#8217;est même pas travailleuse autonome!</p>
<p>Elle est conseillère principale en communications pour un organisme gouvernemental, qui lui permet de travailler à distance.</p>
<p>«J&#8217;ai un bureau chez moi à cinq minutes de marche, mais je préfère travailler ici», affirme la jeune femme de 39 ans, qui a décidé de payer l&#8217;abonnement de sa poche. «Ça me donne accès à une communauté.»</p>
<p>Comme chacun est plutôt occupé à sa petite affaire pendant la journée, elle a mis en place un concept d&#8217;&#8221;Open Salad&#8221;. Tous les mardis, les membres sont invités à apporter quelques ingrédients pour créer un buffet de salades improvisé. Il y a un frigo et un lave-vaisselle sur place.</p></blockquote>
<p>Glad she got it that I pay for my spot out of my own pocket! Read the full  article on the <em>La Presse</em> website: <em><a href="http://lapresseaffaires.cyberpresse.ca/article/20080922/LAINFORMER/809220681/5891/LAINFORMER01">Autonome, mais pas seul</a></em>.</p>
