I thought this was relatively newsworthy because there are so few coworking facilities in the south bay area (Palo Alto / Mountain View) compared to San Francisco proper. The Bay Area startup scene needs a hacking / coworking facility of our own. David Weekly of SuperHappyDevHouse fame is trying to put a coworking / community center together for us south bay residents, if you are interested in contributing or joining, please post to the wiki!
