We have a group home page which has a blog, event manager, and other goodies which any member can post entries to, or comment there upon. That's a great place to put forth an idea or event notices to see what the community thinks.

Jacksonville is the city with the largest ratio between the square mileage of the city and the county; the whole city is the same size as the county.

Or, it's like this: start with a shared office and add cafe culture. Which is the opposite of most modern cafes.

Angebuilt Building
37 N Orange Ave
6th Floor
Orlando, FL, 32801
The owner of a downtown office building is working with one of his tenants to turn an entire floor of the Angebuilt building into a coworking space. I'm not sure of the size, but if I had to guess I'd say it's close to 10,000 sq ft. There will be some ad-hoc space, conference space, and finally private offices available. They are still working on official numbers for rates and plans, which I think is one of the reasons for the open house.
I have seen the space, it is huge and versatile and I know the time is overdue for this space to open. I couldn't think of a better place - it is right in the middle of downtown, walking distance to everywhere, and the same building where we held our April 2008 BarCamp Orlando. Also upstairs is the current location of the UCF Downtown Technology Incubator, which helps tech startups get cheap office space downtown, and access to some other useful services.
There's also an idea that's "coworking without the office" called Jelly started in NYC by a couple of dudes who've gotten some press. It seems to me their philosphy is that one doesn't need to pay in order to have a coworking environment. Also, I think the laws in NYC about working together in the same space are different than most places, so having "work parties" was a way to get around legal problems.
