Paris South of Market
Thanks to WebWorkerDaily for the great review of our free coworking and office-space sharing service, ShareYourOffice.com.
The author, Pamela Poole, founded a site that will be of interest to many of you: Francophilia, “the first social network for Francophiles and French-speakers.”
UPDATE: Our second Work Night has been postponed, in lieu of visiting with Openmoko CEO at the Four Seas Restaurant that Tuesday night.
PariSoMa currently hosts the San Francisco Openmoko Users Group, which meets monthly and welcomes all members of the OpenMoko community. (Schedule below). For more information about the Openmoko, please see the product and community sites; for FreeRunner purchase information, see our Openmoko Shop.
We are hosting two code sprints this month, plus a Users Group meeting. Everything takes place at PariSoMa, and everyone is welcome – we have tasks that can be divvied up to experienced developers and beginners.

Andy Gadiel of Jambase gave a great talk on how he started JamBase in a basement as a college student, and grew it into the successful company it is today.
We’ll be putting up video of the event, so check back in a couple of days!
This is a great event (barcamp, really) hosted by two great organizations – Mobile2.0 and MobileActive.
We’ll be there in support of Twitter-based human rights activism (we are a tech partner on the project) and the Openmoko open-source phone. Hope to see you there too!
There is a wiki, it’s just not obvious from the registration page. Check out the wiki here.
Wondering what you can do to help in what might be the most important election of our lives?
Come join us Sunday at PariSoMa. We’ll make sure Barack has enough volunteers to counter the smears, and we’ll get voters to the polls in the critical swing states.
All you need to bring is your cell phone; we’ll provide scripts and lists of voters to call. For extra kharma points, bring a snack or drinks to share with your fellow volunteers. Better yet, bring a friend. But at least bring yourself!
Sign up SOON here:

Please visit our store to buy this new Linux-based phone. Completely open source, debuggable, hackable, and even huggable! (Well, OK, that’s a little overboard).
Also, join the OpenMoko community in the Bay Area by joining us at the Openmoko Users’ Group meetings and code sprint!
