One of the coolest events we participated in ( coolest's definition is the best ratio between price/quality of the wine) DrupalCon Paris was an after-party in "LaCantine" a collaborative workspace in paris.
AF83 one of our partners and Ori Pekelman their CTO where instrumental in building the place and it serves several startups that deal with Open source and lets them share resources and sublet a space for a reasonable (and subsidized) fee.
I stumbled upon a space for rent which immediately reminded me of LaCantine and would be a great place to work together in Tel Aviv.
It's in an amazing location 2 minutes from the Train station in Azrieli (see map) and it consists of 7 rooms and an open space for another 7-8 people to work in.
We are looking for open-source freelancers, companies, designers, flash artists etc... to join us.
We don't have the financials settled yet but I think it will cost between 700 to 2000 nis for a workspace. (opensource - closed room).
I'm looking for sponsers that have opensource on their agenda to subsidize the costs and we will try to work with some initial european leads and maybe the Municipality of Tel Aviv to drive down the (high) municipal tax (arnona) cost.
So feel free to spread the world (twitter, facebook etc..) so we can make this dream a reality
You can check out the enclosed picture and map to get a better understanding of the space.
