Nikki is working on a directory of "useful spaces" where meetups, coworking and adhoc events can take place in Birmingham from cafes with wifi to venues that are friendly and cheap. You can submit spaces in the form on her site and add more details to the spreadsheet. All powered by Google Docs and a nice illustration of collaborative writing and crowdsourcing.

Plenty of room to fill in all the coworking spaces, official or not.

Has a handy list of all the known Barcamps going on in the world.

Lots of handy links

"Coworking is the social gathering of a group of people, who are still working independently, but who share values and who are are interested in the synergy that can happen from working with talented people in the same space"
