Carrboro Creative Coworking

Peter Higgins, project lead of the Dojo JavaScript toolkit, is visiting North Carolina on July 11, so it's time for a dojo.camp() / dojo.beer().

Join us at Carrboro Creative Coworking on Saturday, July 11, starting at 10am until ??? for a day of hacking and learning. We'll order lunch from one of Carrboro's many fine eating establishments, and head out for drinks when it's all over. Come for as little or as long as you'd like, and BYOB if you're so inclined.

The event is free, but donations to Carrboro Creative Coworking for generously donating the space for the event are much appreciated! Please email rebecca (at) rebeccamurphey (dot) com to RSVP so we know we have enough space.

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.

Photographers include Abby Laddybug, Brad Crittenden, Matt Fields, and Albert Yee. Plus a graffiti inspired triptych by Joshua Sanie.

You'll also get to meet our creative coworkers. They're software developers, designers, writers, and more. Its all part of the 2nd Friday Art walk here in Carrboro and Chapel Hill.

Where: 205 Lloyd Street, Suite 101, Carrboro, NC 27510
When: June 12, 2009, 6pm - 9pm

(Here is a small taste of Gimish! This is going to be fun!)

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!

Friday, May 8, 7pm to 8pm, Carrboro Creative Coworking

If you have technical skills to offer and you have considered starting a business but didn't know how to go about it, this session is for you. After a short presentation on the basics, professionals from the nationally respected nonprofit SCORE will facilitate a discussion and answer your questions. Continuing help for your new business is available free from SCORE at locations around the area, too. Join us to get your business started on a shoestring and network with people who can join forces with you for larger projects than you can handle alone.

The audience for this presentation would be people with technical skills such as computer programming, graphic arts, technical writing, and so on. These people could begin consulting businesses immediately with low risk and low initial investment.

Registration limited to 15. Please use the form bellow or this page to register. I'm sorry. This class has reached it's registration limit.
