Gangplank is an awesome place for creativity, knowledge sharing and the spirit of entrepreneurship.  I go there as often as possible.  They are creating some amazing things to expand their support of the community.  Give them a few more months when the classrooms and other things open up!

That said, I'm lucky to be there about twice a month, to a lunch time "brown bag" presentation or another event.  I have been spending most of my free time on the team running the Phoenix Scrum User group (http://phxsug.org) and helping with the Ignite Phoenix (http://ignitephoenix.com) events.  Some amazing people in those communities!

Metro Phoenix is really cranking with energy these days!

Interesting place.  I live down on Riggs Road and find most of the Metro area out of reach.  I would like, on occasion, to attend the PLUG and AZPHP meetings.

I'm wondering if there would be any interest, after the new year, for some PHP folks to meet at Gangplank on a regular basis.   For me the regular meeting held by AZPHP are too far away.

Forty, the ad agency uses at least 2 tables there.

When I am between gigs (consulting, employee, whatever), I sometimes go down there to work on my own stuff
and it is exactly like that.  You visit, pick a free spot and do whatever.  I don't interact all that much because I
just crank on my own projects but the space is very cool and comfortable... the vibe is a bunch of technology
people doing interesting stuff.

Everyone that I have met and spoken with was very nice and welcoming.  I even caught a few of the lunch time
presentations that were pretty thought provoking.

It is shared space with some real companies nestled in there too so it is a real work space.  It is worth the visit.
Hope that helps!

Lisa mentioned Gangplank in her email, which got me to thinking.  I read about Gangplank last year some time. I have wondered about such an environment.  I seem to recall it was said to be a free place to work.  Bring your laptop and find a place.  It was described as a place to connect with other techies.  Is this the case?

Have any of you spent time there?

Any feedback?
